Carlson Gracie North Lakeland - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Martial Arts Training, Gym for Kids, Health & Fitness Program

“This gym has been great to us. Definitely happy to be part of this growing establishment. Coach Mark and is Remarkable when training the youth. He definitely knows how to build their confidence and instill good obedience into our youth. Highly highly recommend coming to check us out. You will not be disappointed.”

“My wife and I looked for summer programs that were open in the mist of the 2020 covid shutdown. To our surprise Carlson Gracie Lakeland was still open and in full swing. They offered a safe and clean environment for my son. Fast forward 8 months and he is still going and love grappling with his new friends. The life skills he is learning from this gym will stick with him forever! He even got me to join and start doing rolling on the Mats. I have met some amazing people at this place! They truly love this sport are super open to new comers and teaching you about BJJ!!!!! Stop in and get hooked”

“Have been away for a few months. When I returned to the Lakeland area I found out that Marc Spiro is the current head instructor under Rafa Santos. I didn’t even think twice. I made my way to Carlson Gracie South and the experience was better that I imagined it would be. Marc to me is by far one of the best and dare I say the best instructor when it comes to their children’s program. I would encourage anyone to bring their children and also join your children in their Jiu Jitsu journey. Marc keep it brother!!!”

“Both my sons and I have been training here for six years and have had nothing but great experiences. It is a positive environment full of excellent instructors and team mates. Classes are available seven days a week at multiple times throughout the day. I encourage anyone to come try no matter what your age, shape or size to come give it a try!”

“My son attends Carlson Gracie BJJ. I am particular where I send my kids. I send my son here because Rafa is a leader who has built a team of motivated young adults that have a true passion for the sport. Within weeks, my son’s behavior aligned and found him focusing much easier. More importantly, he has fun. It isn’t about grappling, it’s about learning how to contend. I appreciate the entire team a lot and thank Christina, Rafa, Adriana and Dristan for their dedication.”
