I visited here while on vacation to Hilton Head. Had a very warm welcome from all the practitioners and the head instructor was fantastic. His instruction was terrific and very up to date with the latest and greatest techniques of the best competitors in the world. I highly recommend everyone check out Riptide MMA

Was able to stop in and train during my recent vacation. I am an undefeated pro mma fighter and was pleased to find an amazing gym. The facility was clean with plenty of mat space, bags, and cardio equipment. Great environment for learning, knowledgeable coaching, and pleasant training partners. Really thankful I was able to find such a great place to train.

I've been training at Riptide for about a year and a half now. Great coaches, great classes, great sense of unity and community. I'm happy to be a part of the Riptide family.

The Teachers for the kids program are great. The customer service not so much. My child opted for baseball instead of MMA, and the cancellation process was a little ridiculous. Had to call 3 different numbers and send various emails. And they continue to charge you for 30-days after you request cancellation.Also, the only programs they have require a 6-month contract. So just make sure your child is fully committed!

I visited from NY last week. Grappling Instruction was very useful. Mat space is amazing and has bags and weights if that’s what you are looking for. Rolls were good and hard but still technical. Professor is extremely welcoming. Facility is clean with a ton of mat space. If you’re in the area I highly recommend you give it a try!

Great place to train! I dropped in for a couple BJJ classes and both were great. Great detailed instruction, big class size, and a fun group to roll with. They also have a shower which is a plus if you have a long drive after training. John and Carter were both awesome and I can't wait to come back next time I go to Hilton Head.

Riptide Martial Arts Academy is a great place to train. My son and I were in town and came in for a Jiu Jitsu class. Coach John's instruction was fantastic and he made sure everyone had the moves down before moving on to the next technique. He welcomed us in as if we were one of his regular students. We will definetly be attending classes next time we are in town. Thank you so much Riptide for your hospitality. Hope to see you soon!

Visiting for the week from northern Virginia and my son was able to join a BJJ class. Nice to find a welcoming MMA community so far from home.

I was able to drop in and train with John, and his crew of savages last week when I was in Hilton Head. One of the most welcoming gyms I've ever stepped foot in. Both the facilities and the instruction are top notch! I had planned to train with them all week, but had to leave unexpectantly. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

I can’t say enough nice things about John and the crew at Riptide. I’ve been training with them while visiting family in Bluffton, and I’ve been having an absolute blast. Great people, great atmosphere, I highly recommend checking them out!

I came to Hilton Head for a family vacation and needed a place to train. Dropped in at Riptide MMA and glad that I did. Very laid back atmosphere from both the instructors and students. The rolls and hospitality was great. If you are ever in the area, I would highly suggest you train here. I can't say enough good things about the place and everyone. Thanks a lot for the rolls and company.
