“Our son has been doing jiu jitsu at Carlson Gracie for about a year now. The growth in confidence and self discipline in him has been remarkable. Professor Andre and the other instructors care and love our children and it shows. It’s not just about the competition and physical skills but the emotional and mental well being of the kids. We had tried other gyms but this was like no other. They are organized, friendly, but still teach our kids to be respectful and disciplined. All the instructors will take the time to sit with the kids and guide them when they’re having a hard time. Lisa and the front staff are always friendly and welcoming. We are beyond blessed with everyone we have met who have become like family!”
“This place has been amazing for my daughter. She has been going for almost a year and feels really at home. The coaches are amazing they really take the time to explain everything in a way the kids understand and can learn from. My daughters confidence is growing and so is her patience. They are disciplined but still keep it fun and engage even the littlest kids. The coaches are attentive and patient with new students to help them learn in a welcoming environment. We have felt welcome since day 1. The facility is really clean, well maintained and organized. Class schedules are very consistent and always run on time. I would strongly recommend anyone interested in Jiujitsu to join.”
