I have two different black belts. A red in Muaythai and Close quarter combat training. I graduated from the police Academy, a former lethal weapons officer, and 6 paid fights. I started training when I was 6, and I am 57 now. Finding Riptide has been an amazing experience for me, training jujutsu is completely different than any form I have studied before. To me it's the only combat style that you can train 100% all of the time. The training partners I've met over the last several years, have become friends and family members. If nothing else, I strongly suggest doing a drop in class, no matter what your style or capability, I can almost guarantee it will change your life. It has mine.

The atmosphere at Rip Tide is welcoming and supportive, with teammates who are always willing to help. I've had a great experience training at Rip Tide. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping everyone improve. The classes are well-structured, the instruction is clear, and the culture of respect on the mats is evident every day.

I’ve been training here for 11+ years since I was a kid, and Chris has always been a phenomenal instructor. 10/10 highly recommend!!

Came through the area for a bit of beach time on my way to NY and decided to drop into a class at Rip Tide where my wife and I were warmly welcomed onto the mats. The thu 6pm class was great. Instruction was very straightforward with lots of time to drill and practice live. I was very happy to see some ladies in attendance; especially exciting for me was that that one was a female black belt. She kindly helped my wife and I during class with a move we didn't know, and I got to roll with her during the open mat time afterwards. As a white belt woman this felt like quite a Bingo Board event. Thanks for the drop in!

Absolutely fantastic place for beginners, or anyone looking for a positive place to sharpen their jiujitsu skills. Chris always takes the time to help every single person, no matter their skill level. We wouldn’t be where we are in our journey without him.
