Carlson Gracie Plant City

“This is a great community made up of coaches, students, and parents who care. I've worked with Coaches Cory and Sam at the NAGA Tournaments for some time now and both are kind, ethical, intelligent, humble guys who also happen to be highly respected BJJ Black Belts. The facility is very spacious, super clean (The bathrooms were so clean I thought they used toothbrushes on the toilets) and there's plenty of opportunities for open training, private lessons, and structured classes. What I like most about this particular academy is the encouraging environment they've created. There's a healthy non-bro-ish competitive spirit. Students are always cheering their classmates on, encouraging each other to push a bit harder, do better, and be the best they can be. It's a really inspiring culture, which is easy to get into and something many people could use in his/her lives. If you or anyone you know is looking to get (and stay) in shape, learn how to fight, or just looking for a fun, new hobby, definitely check Carlson Gracie Plant City out.”

“I've been training here for almost 2 years. I've had martial arts experience elsewhere and I have to say this is the most welcoming and enjoyable place to train! Our instructor, Sam, is very knowledgeable and patient. Whether you're looking for an after-school program for your kids or looking to train yourself, this is the place to be!”

“Very kind staff, family owned. Instructors are patient, and very knowledgeable. My daughter loved her time at the summer program, and told me about new friends daily. Highly recommended 🥋”

“This gym changed my life and that's no exaggeration. I started training here almost 3 years ago and the culture, technique, and camaraderie I have experienced here had molded me into a person I never thought I could be! If you have ever even had a thought of trying out Brazilian jiu jitsu, give Sam a call and get started! You have no idea what you're missing out on”

“My son is going on 8+ years in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. He started at age 4,with the majority of that time with Plant City. It's family,mentorship and the top BJJ instruction he has worked with in all of Central FL.Its easily one of the best decisions I made for my son as a full time single father.🤙🥋🙏”
