Welcome to Tim Burrill BJJ
TBJJ of Rhode Island is a center for learning the dynamic martial Art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ is a modern adaptation of the 2000 year old martial art of Japanese JuJitsu. Things have changed rapidly over the last 100 years in our culture yet very few martial arts have grown with the times. Machado Jiu-Jitsu, created by the famous Machado Brothers, offers a very modern twist on self-defense.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu’s fundamental fight strategy is to take the attacker to the ground, establish control, and end the conflict on the ground.
One of the first Americans to receive a black belt from Carlos Machado, Tim not only brings the philosophy and technique of Machado BJJ, but also other talents and his own personal way of teaching, making his style of BJJ unique from all others.
Tim cultivates a friendly, open atmosphere where learning comes naturally and the techniques are 100% effective. Tim’s philosophy, as is the Machado Brothers, is not to prove or impose our system on other styles of martial arts, but to share what we have with open minds.
Student Testimonials
"Tim Burrill jiujitsu is absolutely the best jits you will find anywhere in New England. While his jiujitsu credentials are exceptional, the real magic of the place is that Tim loves teaching more than he loves competing and is present for almost all classes. There are two things I have found universally consistent every time I visit: 1) Every person in the gym is helpful and humble, whether you're rolling with an Abu Dhabi champ, a UFC fighter, or a cop who trains on the side. 2) The place pisses excellence. The white belts are blue belts. The blue belts are purple belts. The purple belts are practically black belts. The brown belts are ninjas - actual ninjas. And his black belts are a lesson in emasculation. If you want to learn the best possible jiujitsu, whether you prefer gi, nogi, or jits for MMA, there is no better gym." — Nick Palmisciano, CEO Ranger Up
"TBBJJ has made all the difference in my BJJ. It's not just Tim's knowledge but also the manner in which he articulates it. My love & passion for BJJ has grown 10 fold since training with Tim and I highly recommend TBBJJ to everyone looking to be on the cutting edge of this dynamic art." — Jorge Rivera, UFC Fighter and TBBJJ Brown Belt
