I absolutely love CM Charleston. This is my second home when I travel to Charleston for work. Super chill vibes and great peeps. Whether you are a seasoned grappler or newbie the instructions and instructors are top notch and super detailed in their teaching. Being a 40 plus guy I highly recommend the 40 plus class because it’s tough and challenging but freakin awesome. Thank you CM Charleston for always opening your doors to me when I come.

I dropped in tonight while traveling for work and it was a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and I felt at home, honestly. There was a wide range of skill levels on the mats, and one thing I noticed was the strong foundation displayed by the lower belts, which clearly points to top-notch instruction. 👏👏💪🏼💪🏼The teaching was clear, thorough, and engaging. Overall, Checkmat is a great place to train, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good workout, solid rolls and a nice variety of looks on the mat. Will be back, for sure.

Awesome establishment. The trainers are very knowledgeable and it’s in a great location. Friendly people to spar with and the classes are long enough to get a great workout in. I would highly recommend this place for your children or for anyone in that matter that is looking to improvement their skills, or even just to pick up a new hobby.

Dropped in twice during vacation. Windson, the owner, was very welcoming, as were all of the regulars. Very knowledgeable instruction, great use of time, and plenty of fun rolls. They’ve got a great schedule of different times, gi/no gi, wrestling, fundamentals, etc. I’ll train here next time I’m in town, for sure!
