Carlson Gracie Orlando North

“Before starting at Cogito/Carlson Gracie Orlando North I had been training various martial on an off for 16 years and I've haven't seen better instructors. They are very effective at breaking down the most complex movement making it accessible to everyone. The school is extremely friendly, open, and family orientated. It's a great place for beginners, casual practitioners and competitors (the school has a few). I've been going there for 3 years now. It's a great place to meet interesting people and make new experiences, oh and learn the most effective self defense system on the planet. There's no place like it!”

“Hey Everyone...been through a few MMA schools, but this one is by far one of the best in the area. They have programs for everyone from kids, to beginner's to advanced, both men and ladies Jiu-jitsu and also Kickboxing. Its newer and super clean. The staff and the instructors are very friendly and have excellent experience. The students are all friendly also. So if you feel the need to get in top shape, this is definatively the place for you! Stop in and check them out!!”

“Joining Carlson Gracie North has been amazing for me and my whole family. I spent years wanting to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but between raising kids and work I didn't want the extra stress. I finally decided to try their 3 week trial and what I found was this gym is actually a stress reliever. There is no pressure to do anything just show up and learn. I would recommend this gym to everyone no matter your age or strength.”

“I have been to a few jiujitsu academy's/gyms and this is the most amazing place. One wants to feel comfortable (probably especially as a woman) and all the girls are really sweet yet serious about the martial art. Which hasn't been the case in other academies. It's definitely family oriented. Love being a part of the Cogito family.”

“Traveling for work and was looking for a place to train. I contacted them ahead of time and Dillon (owner/head instructor/resident bjj black belt) was very friendly and invited me to stop in. Dojo was nice and clean and plenty of mat space. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and great to train with. Instruction was presented well and easy to follow with good details and tweaking of technique. If you are in the area and looking for a place to train, I highly recommend you check out Cogito. I know I’ll be stopping in next time I’m in the area.”
