I came here as an experienced competition purple belt and love everything about this school. RJJ teaches inclusive classes that are beneficial for everybody; from the first day white belt to an experienced black belt, everybody benefits.Incredibly grateful to be training with such an awesome group of people.

Brett Pouser | RJJ Member

Riverfront Jiu Jitsu is absolutely amazing!!! Billy and Elyse have created such a welcoming, supportive, and fun environment with excellent instruction and awesome members. I joined as a 32 year old with zero experience and my first day on the mats I realized what a special place it is.
If you’ve always wanted to train bjj and you're trying to find the gym for you this is the place!

Kylie Rash | RJJ Member

Riverftont Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most welcoming environments I've ever been in. It can be scary to start anything new, especially a combat sport like Jiu-Jitsu. But, I genuinely feel like a member of the family here. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is even moderately interested in BJJ.

Dan Ganley | RJJ Parent

My kids first start with Billy Shaw at a previous school. In life I have learned that being good at something(he is excellent by the way) doesn’t mean you are necessarily a good teacher. Billy is great at both. He has taught my son confidence and skills he didn’t know that he possessed. We travel from Delaware County, Pa to Delaware for his instruction. He is worth it.

Highly recommend Riverfront Jiu Jitsu. Billy and Elyse have created such an incredible welcoming environment where it makes it a pleasure to learn and get better everyday. All instructors are very knowledgeable and members are incredible!

Collin Bartol| RJJ Member

Riverfront Jiu Jitsu is a great environment for all jiu jitsu skill levels. Riverfront has exceptional classes taught by knowledgeable and friendly instructors. The group at Riverfront is truly welcoming and makes you want to attend class - I cannot recommend enough!

Riverfront Jiu-Jitsu has excellent instructors and an outstanding atmosphere! From the moment on walking into the mats, I was welcomed by a warm welcome from ALL members! I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn the art of jiu-jitsu! The mentorship from Billy and attention to detail in helping you succeed are exceptional!

I attend a weekend open mat at Riverfront Jiu Jitsu and immediately felt at ease. Everyone was extremely welcoming. Elyse and Billy do an amazing job running their school. If you are ever in the area, and looking for a great place to train, look no further!!!

Chris Williams | RJJ Member

I’ve been doing BJJ for over 10 years, trained everywhere from Philly to Baltimore and everywhere in between. Riverfront embodies what jiu-jitsu is supposed to be on every level and I’ve found a home here. Billy Shaw is a top notch black belt, coach and all around great dude. Wether you’re a competitor or a beginner there is room for you. Come be part of a team on the rise.

MIGAL SHRESTHA | RJJ Visitor

Great place to train! I was just visiting Delaware and needed a place to train at. Billy and everyone there was super friendly and respectful. They are also very law enforcement friendly.

Will definitely be coming back here when I’m back in Delaware.

Veronica Garrison | RJJ Parent

I don’t even know where to begin! First and for most the children's program is Absolutely amazing! Billy and Elyse are wonderful with my two children! They are very kind hearted, understanding and make you feel very welcomed and comfortable!! I have noticed since my son has been doing jiu jitsu he is a total different child, he’s more focused, his attitude has changed majorly! If your looking for jiu jitsu for children this is DEFINITELY the place to go!!

Sean Hitchens | RJJ Member

Everyone here is so welcoming and supportive! They have a good mix of fundamental beginner classes, advanced gi/nogi classes, as well as wrestling/judo and striking classes! One of my favorite classes is their Saturday morning mobility class! They also do a lot of work with veterans through the We Defy Foundation and inside their gym! Billy and Elyse Shaw really have something special going on here and I am proud to be a part of this gym!!
