Carlson Gracie Central Florida

“I have stopped in to train here several times when I have been in town, and I love it. Professor Rinaldo is the real deal and fun to learn from, and the class atmosphere is great. I was made to feel welcome immediately, and the training and rolling is always fantastic. If I lived in this area I would definitely want to train full time at Carlson Gracie Central Florida, but for now I'll just be dropping in for some great training with good people when I am in the area. Can't recommend any higher!”

“A hidden gem. Excellent BJJ school for all ages and ability levels—great instruction, family-friendly, and tight knit community. Professor Rinaldo is a 30+ year veteran of the sport and brings a contagious enthusiasm to every training session, whether it’s elementary school kids, 20 year olds preparing for competition or out of shape suburban dads. Highly recommend.”

“If you’re looking for a high quality BJJ school, this is the place to be. I’ve been training for over 7 years in Ontario, Canada and stopped in while on vacation. Professor Santos and his students were extremely welcoming and made me feel like I was at my home academy. Professor Santos is a direct student of Carlson Gracie. This was easily identified through his exceptional knowledge and attention to detail while he instructed the class I attended. If you’re not familiar with BJJ, having someone who was a direct student of Carlson Gracie is a huge deal. I’m happy to have had the chance to train here and recommend anyone looking into training BJJ to make this your academy.”

“I've been training with Rinaldo Santos for over 8 years and can honestly say he puts his heart and soul into every class and every student. If you're looking for some of the best BJJ in Central Florida you need to train here. He teaches the old school Carlson Gracie Sr. way, pressure, pressure, pressure.”

“A great place for children and adults to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Rinaldo Dos Santos is a 6th Degree Black Belt and he takes pride in teaching most of the classes.”
