“Coach Thiago is incredible with my kids! I have a 4 and a 6 year old. They both love him dearly and respect him. He’s patient but holds there attention. We’ve seen positive changes on and off the mat, because of these classes! Highly recommend.”

“My 7 year old trains at Carlson Gracie Orlando with a group of her friends, and we’ve had an amazing experience. Coach Thiago is patient and great with kids. He takes the time to teach them properly while keeping it fun. Highly recommend!”

“💙 Great atmosphere, very welcoming. I was worried at first as my son is on the spectrum and does have some motor skills that aren't always on par with others but this has benefitted him so much. Master Thiago @Carson Gracie Orlando is the best and you can see his passion for the art as well as teaching. There is a reason Carson-Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is renowned - definitely check it for yourself.”

“My son started jiu-jitsu back in February and loves it. We have seen him grow so much already in the last 6 months. Thiago has created a family like atmosphere here, and my son loves coming to practice. I have even done the kick boxing class with coach Rey and it’s a great workout. Try a free class you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. 🫶🏼”
