Daniel Island Jiu Jitsu

Daniel Island Jiu Jitsu is a martial arts school in Charleston, SC, located at 126 Seven Farms Drive suite 270. The school provides Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs for adults, teens, and children, emphasizing ground-based techniques that use leverage rather than brute strength to enable smaller practitioners to defend themselves. Offerings include a comprehensive Jiu Jitsu program covering joint locks, chokeholds, takedowns, sweeps, reversals, and escapes; a Kids Program organized by age to build confidence, discipline, coordination, and respect; a Women’s Self-Defense program; and yoga and mobility classes for body awareness, flexibility, balance, and breath control. The school serves the Daniel Island area and welcomes drop-ins from visitors and members of Devine affiliate schools.

The instruction team features Tom Sheehan, a first-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Scott Devine. Sheehan served as an instructor for the United States Secret Service, where he developed the agency’s ground fighting program for agents and officers nationwide, and brings over 25 years of combined service in the Secret Service and Federal Air Marshal Service. Josh Williams is a two-stripe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with a foundation in wrestling who transitioned to BJJ and MMA in 2010. He has competed extensively in tournaments and professional bouts, teaching a wrestling-based style that emphasizes pressure, control, and takedowns. Travis began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in March 2016 at Gracie Barra in Pelham, Alabama, and later trained at Battlefield Jiu-Jitsu in Northern Virginia before joining the team in Charleston.

The school operates on a month-to-month membership basis with no long-term contracts. New students are asked to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to complete a waiver and meet with Tom. Visitors are welcome to observe classes, provided they remain quiet and respectful during instruction. Drop-in classes cost for non-members. The environment is designed to be welcoming for all ages and experience levels, with fundamentals classes available for beginners to learn at their own pace.

Daniel Island Jiu Jitsu combines technical rigor with a community-focused approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Charleston.

The school sits on Seven Farms Drive, about a tenth of a mile from the Mark Clark Expressway. It is also located near Governor's Park and Credit One Stadium, both roughly two tenths of a mile away.
