Really disappointed in how my relationship turned out with Rafael BJJ. Was only able to train here for a month and spoke with the owner about these terms. I was moving from North Carolina because of the military and the owner agreed to do a 1 month charge. Later to find out, following my move, they continued charging me. When I tried contacting them, via phone number, email, website, multiple times they did not reply. I wanted to resolve the issue like “adults” but they refused to contact me back. I had to file a dispute with capital one to get my over $900 back, and was able to block the merchant from recurring charges. I still haven’t received my money back and remain in an ongoing dispute that has lasted months. All of the shady business stuff aside, the actual Jiu Jitsu instructor was really professional and knowledge full. It pains me to see good jiu jitsu schools do stuff like this. I wish we could have communicated and resolved this.

Coach Curtis and Este are great people and they run a truly welcoming, professional and competitive gym. Couldnt recommend more highly.

Weve been attending classes for my preschooler for about a month already and we cannot fully express how much we love it here! The atmosphere is truly engaging and everyone is very welcoming. If you have a preschooler or a 3-year old that youre looking at getting into some sort of martial arts or sport, this is the place to take them! I dont know what kind of magical dust they have on that mat, but the instructors here are godsends! It is really mind blowing to see how they can get a group of preschoolers to focus all while having fun at each lesson. It is also refreshing to know that they also offer a Womens Empowerment class on the weekend to encourage confidence and learn self-defense.

Great classes plus an awsome environment. Coach Curtis, and professor Estevan are a great team, they bring really good energy to the program. Ive been to a couple of other gyms in California, which was an awsome experience, but this gym is by far the best Ive ever been too. I have my son in the kids class (8 years old) and he loves it. Professor Estevan is really good with the kids, you can definitely tell hes very passionate about (BJJ) I also attended the adult class. You know that uncomfortable feeling you get when you show up to a new gym? Count this gym out! everyone welcomed me with open arms and introduced themselves, which made me feel real comfortable. I would definitely recommend this gym if you want a great place to train BJJ, and feel at home.

Had a great time. Very knowledgeable and friendly trainers.

Excellent studio! Clean, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging for all ages. Definitely recommend. Coach Curtis and all of the visiting instructors are absolutely fantastic and love what they do!

Amazing BJJ House!! Extremely friendly learning environment with a wide variety of instructors rotating to give a very well rounded experience. Members are free to pursue their own goals, from simple fitness and fun to competitive tournament prep. Offers youth classes as well.

A good mix of both Judo and BJJ. A family atmosphere. Very clean and safe. Highly recommend if you and your family are thinking about getting involved with martial arts for both sport and defense.

Very family friendly environment.

I had looked at several martial arts places before walking in to see Curtis last October. Right away I knew this was the place for me. It’s ran like a family business where you’re immediately accepted in their family. Each member welcomes you as soon as you step in the door and will take time to slow down and show you things to allow you to learn and grow. The motivation and patience from every instructor is beyond comparison to anywhere I’ve ever trained at before. I’ve learned so much and have became a devoted student to the arts thanks to all of them. Whether you want BJJ or Judo you will get the best of both worlds with world class trainers. The day to day instructors are incredibly talented individuals plus you will also see special guest trainers from world ranked practitioners to UFC fighters to learn from as well. Whether you’re wanting to work on cardio and fitness, learn self defense, or just find something to take your mind off of the daily grind of life, go see Curtis and give it a shot.Best part, even if you only come for 1 day you can tell people for the rest of your life, “yeah I trained in Jiu-Jitsu and Judo before.”

I have enjoyed having my son enrolled at the Hope Mills RBJJ gym since February and cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness, dedication, and professionalism. The training from RBJJ has increased my sons confidence and physical fitness while making him accountable to his coaches. RBJJ has created a family environment that is very welcoming for students and families creating a strong sense of community. The facility goes above and beyond in their standards for cleanliness and ensures the students understand the importance of hygiene and sanitation. I absolutely recommend Hope Mills RBJJ to anyone interested.

Great family dynamic, strong leadership from all coaches
