Checkmat Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Myrtle Beach

“Great gym! I dropped in for classes again on another vacation. The new owners were just as knowledgeable and welcoming. I learned some very nice sweeps, had some challenging rolls, and left smiling each day. I'd love to train here regularly. Definitely check out Checkmat Myrtle Beach, you won't be disappointed.”

“Great place with really excellent teaching level and also very welcoming I was in town for a night and messaged over to take a class. Really glad I did. The instruction was excellent and I felt very welcomed. The flow was great, and I was super impressed at the technical skill of the lower belts. Everyone did great and you can see this gym is filled with connections. The coach knew every students story, not just their name and you can just smell when you stumble on someplace that’s just a cut above the rest. Great place, made some new friends and looking forward to a longer visit in the future!”

“My 10-yr-old son did two drop-in no-gi classes while we were visiting Myrtle Beach. He was welcomed by Professor Leo and the other students, learned some new techniques, including a new sweep, and had a LOT of fun. He wants to return to Myrtle Beach just to do more classes here. Now that says a lot. GREAT instruction and environment. Highly, highly recommend.”

“Master Leo is a great instructor and does a fantastic job at making the gym feel like a home for us, would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to continue their training, or get started in BJJ. Great atmosphere, and great Jiu Jitsu!”

“I had been looking to try BJJ for a while. I looked at the websites of some of the gyms in the area and was immediately drawn to Checkmat. Seeing videos of Master Leo competing at the highest levels showed me he was the real deal. Since my first class he has made me feel welcome. The training partners there are great and always willing to help out where they can. It has become a second home for me and I love going to class and open mat. I have recently signed up my son for lessons and he loves it. Master Leo and Christy are fantastic with the kids and the kids love them. I would never have imagined competing in BJJ but with all of the support and encouragement I have received, I gave it a shot. It was the second best BJJ decision I made after joining this gym! Thank you Master Leo for all of your work and knowledge.”
