Adaptive jiu-jitsu

Built so more people can roll.

Providence BJJ was founded to make jiu-jitsu genuinely welcoming — for people of color, women, the LGBTQ community, and anyone who's ever felt a gym wasn't for them. Everyone starts a beginner; everyone belongs here.

Professor Marco McWilliams

Head instructor & founder · black belt

Professor Marco is a black belt under Tim Burrill with 20+ years on the mat — a coach and writer who built Providence BJJ around a simple idea: world-class jiu-jitsu should be open to everyone. Alongside partners Mickey Zacchilli and Nicholas Reville, he's made this one of the most welcoming rooms in the city.
