Trevor, PJ, and Julie are stand out people in general and what makes them even cooler people is that they are all skilled and great facilitators in BJJ. If you're looking for a gym to train at look no further. #protectyoneck

Started training at the end of Dec 22. The Facilitators (Trevor, PJ, and Julie) are very knowledgeable with years of teaching, competing and experience behind them. The atmosphere in the gym daily is always accepting and patient. The smallest details, to help improve technique, are broken down on levels that are easy to understand.

Been working with Trevor and the gang for almost three years now. It’s a great environment with a constructive style of teaching. Everyone inspires and builds each others skill. There isn’t a better grappling gym in Lawrence.

Heidi and Matt are excellent trainers and wonderful people. I have never been to such a great gym before. Everyone there is welcoming, genuine, and eager to learn. I was recommended to this gym I recommend others to come here too! Just a great environment over all.

Excellent instructors and fun atmosphere. At 31 years old, I started going one year ago and my only regret is not starting sooner.No previous experience required, and don’t worry about “getting in shape” first. Just come and have a good time. There are a lot of cool people who are willing to help you learn.

I stopped by as a drop in one Monday morning had a very informative class! Great conversations with the students who were there to learn and bounce ideas off one another to have a better understanding of the moves. If you’re local to Lawrence I recommend you allow these men and women to assist you in becoming the best version of you possible!If you’re in need of a place to get some training in while on the road of passing by here’s a great place to go! Thanks again! Good luck to you all!

I highly recommend Rivers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I dropped in for a free trial class a couple months ago to try something new. I had no previous BJJ or wresting experience and was pretty nervous. The instructor Matt and the other students were great! They took the time to ensure I understood what the movements were and made sure I was included in all aspects of the class. I have since signed up for a membership and have been going weekly. Great atmosphere, safe, and welcoming.

My son has been taking classes for over a year and the instructors are amazing! They teach the kids great technique while teaching discipline and honor. I started taking classes 4 weeks ago and Trevor, Matt and Heidi have been amazing. Their school is filled with positivity and atmosphere of learning and perseverance!
