Basilisk Martial Arts

"I’ve known Head Coach Nader Tannir for years, as we served in the Army National Guard together. He is one of my closest personal friends, and I can attest that there is no coach more dedicated to the success of his students and the advancement of his sport than Nader. His teaching ability, unrivaled work ethic, personal skill at Brazilian Jujitsu, and breadth of experience as both a coach and competitor are exceptional. His staff are also professional, well-trained, excellent interpersonal communicators, and great representatives of the sport. I would trust Nader and his staff above all others with my own training!"

"Nader & his coaches are very supportive. Whether you're into Jiu-jitsu to compete or just to better yourself, they'll support you in your journey. As a 50-year-old female who was brand new to Jiu-jitsu, I was very nervous! Nader, his coaches, and the more experienced students in the class have been nothing but supportive, patient, & helpful for this "old lady" (my term, not theirs) who doesn't have anywhere near the strength, speed, or flexibility of the younger grapplers. I'm almost 4 months into my Jiu-jitsu journey and loving it, even if I do complain the whole time during warm-ups!"

“Great martial arts here. If you are looking to expand your Jiu Jitsu game this is one of the premier places in South Carolina to train at."
