Rising Phoenix Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was created on September 12th, 2023, by U.S. Army veterans Stephen McCloskey and co-owner Tommy Morgan with the pursuit to bring like-minded individuals together in the Camden, South Carolina area who seek to train in the traditional art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our goal is to help our students learn the necessary skills to provide self-defense if needed, compete as desired, and grow as a person. Training at RPBJJ will improve your life with better physical conditioning, including strength, cardio, and flexibility, as well as give you the mental determination and confidence to take on all that life gives you. Our RPBJJ family will be the supporting community you need to create friendships, provide accountability, and help you be the best version of yourself.
Most of us in life are dealing with one thing or another and it's time for us to stop feeling down and out and rise out of the ashes and dominate the skies! Birds are the freest animals on earth, they fly high, they fly free and as they do we will also fly like the mythical creatures of the sky. That is with the burning desire to achieve our goals and dominate!
