Riverfront Jiu Jitsu offers a great environment to learn Jiu Jitsu. Billy Shaw is an exceptionally knowledgeable and encouraging teacher. The members are likewise encouraging. It is an individual and family friendly place to train. You will earn everything there are no “gimmes”; the learning, however, starts right with your first class. I love it. My only regret is that I didn’t find this school earlier in life.

I started training at Riverfront Jiu Jitsu in February 2021 and after my first class I knew I found my new home. Billy Shaw is a great instructor and cares about his students. I have felt supported and my jiu jitsu has improved. They have accepted me as I am and have been accommodating as I’m a single mom and often have my daughters sitting side lines.I would recommend this school to anyone wanting to try jiu jitsu as well as those wanting to take their jiu jitsu to the next level. Not only is the instruction top notch but it is a positive, welcoming, and comfortable environment.

Great instruction and community. Highly recommend for all skill levels.Don’t be afraid to try a class if you are a beginner! Billy did a great job easing me in during my first class. The community overall is very welcoming and supportive.

I just finished my first BJJ session at Riverfront Jiu Jitsu and I was extremely impressed. Being out of state and because I’m constantly traveling for my job, I don’t get to put in enough time on the mats like I want to. I found Riverfront Jiu Jitsu a perfect fit to train whenever I’m in Wilmington. The location is extremely convenient and only a 10 minute walk from my hotel. Upon entering the gym I was pretty hesitant considering Riverfront Jiu Jitsu is the first gym I’ve ever been to outside of my gym at home. I’m happy to say I found the atmosphere really relaxed and friendly. Coach Billy was extremely knowledgeable and patient. Also, being federal law enforcement I felt right at home. I found the class schedule to be accommodating as well considering my constantly changing work schedule. I will definitely continue attending Riverfront Jiu Jitsu.

Sensai Billy Shaw is highly qualified to instruct Jujitsu and he is really good with with the kids. Both my kids 11 and 8 attend classes at Riverfront BJJ.

This is a phenomenal place to train. Professor Billy Shaw is an amazingly patient & knowledgeable instructor. His Jiu Jitsu is practical and works on the mat and on the street. I’ve seen him teach children from all ages and there is no one better or more equipped to teach our little warriors. I absolutely recommend this place!

My 11 year old Son has been attending Classes with Billy and loves it.

My son was hesitant about doing jit jitsu, once he started the class he flourished. His confidence, determination and discipline has increased dramatically. I really appreciate the attention they give the children. They are teaching valuable lessons in a fun setting. When we return home my son is practicing what he learned. I am extremely pleased with the class, the instructors and friendliness they show. They are on the mat helping the kids understand the moves. The way they engage with the kids is just AMAZING.

Billy Shaw has taught my son confidence and a respect for the art of Jiu Jitsu. He is knowledgeable, patient, and a wonderful instructor. We are lucky to be a part of Riverfront BJJ.

Billy has created a great atmosphere at Riverfront Jiu Jitsu! He’s welcoming and so are all of his students! His knowledge of the martial art is exceptional! His love of teaching and attention to details are amazing! I love to train with Billy and his students!

Top notch instruction and environment!

Training at Riverfront Jiu Jitsu has made an awesome impact on my life since I’ve started. The environment is friendly, welcoming, and really positive. Instructor Billy does a great job at explaining all of the techniques. From warm-up drills, to fundamentals, to intricate maneuvers, all are broken down step by step and made easy to understand. I highly recommend anyone who’s looking to train BJJ to come check out Riverfront Jiu Jitsu.

There is no better place to train Jiu Jitsu than Riverfront. Billy cares about his people, is patient, and takes the time to communicate what he expects from each individual student. Whether you have been training for years or dont know how to put a gi on Billy will get you squared away and coming back for me.

Extremely impressed with Riverfront Jiu Jitsu, we have attended classes for over a year now and couldnt ask for better instructors. Billy is very patient with the kids and instills a strong work ethic among the kids. If you are looking for a Brazilian jiu jitsu place then look no further.

My girlfriend and I are out-of-towners who visited this gym during my pre-deployment leave, and I can honestly say this gym is one of the best. Professor Billy is both knowledgeable and an expert at his craft and has found a way to be both without losing the ability to teach those who don’t know and understand. He has found a way to make the environment in the dojo feel relaxed and combative. Each student welcomed both of us and were absolute professionals and even more kind. I highly suggest this gym to those of you visiting from out of town or if you are ever considering jiu Jitsu. You can’t go wrong here.

Billy Shaw is the best!! He breaks every movement down to make it easy to understand. What he teaches works on and off the mat. Being a first responder I can say what Billy has taught me kept me safe on the street. If you are in EMS do yourself a favor and learn to defend yourself. You can’t beat the discounts he offers to First Responders and members of the Military.

As someone new to BJJ, I really appreciate the welcoming atmosphere in classes and the knowledge and teaching skills from head coach Billy. The facility is always clean and organized as well. Thanks for a great experience!

Best BJJ professor in the area. Billy is a master at simplifying the complex while prioritizing safety first. Family atmosphere and friendship. He’s really elevated my game

Very welcoming group of instructors. They help you to develop skills to be more confident in self defense and life in general.

Such an awesome place to learn jiu jitsu! You’re treated like family from day 1 and you’re safety is always top priority. Professor Billy takes time to work with people of all levels so you never feel left behind or like you’re being held back.Forgot to mention that my kids love it too! They’ve been going for a few weeks and it’s amazing to watch them get better with each class.

Billy is one of the best jiu jitsu instructors in the area. A must go to place for people of all skill levels. Billy does a great job of making things simple for beginners and creating a fun friendly environment for kids.

Riverfront Jiu Jitsu has changed my life for the good!!! What an excellent atmosphere!! Instructor Billy Shaw is a true leader and mentor, teaching his knowledge and skills to each member, ensuring they are grasping the components of Jiu Jitsu . Traveling a cross the United States for business, I’ve been dropping in to different BJJ academies to keep my training fluent. These other gyms do not compare to what I’ve learned at Riverfront Jiu Jitsu. The environment and atmosphere in these gyms were not equivalent to Riverfront Jiu Jitsu.If you’re looking to train hard, have camaraderie with members and learn from a humble professor— Come check out RiverFront Jiu Jitsu!!

RiverfrontBJJ is an amazing place to learn jiu-jitsu and self-defense. Professor Billy Shaw runs a fun, friendly, safe, CLEAN facility.
