Checkmat Riverview Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Adults and Kids Martial Arts

“I stopped in to get some training while on vacation. I called Professor Mauricio to ask if I could stop by for the competition class but didn't have my gi. He was very kind, told me to stop by and provided me with a perfectly fitting clean gi. The gym was very cool(both literally and physically). Everyone made me feel at home and willing to learn. Definitely felt like home in just the 2 hours I spent there. Next time you're in Tampa or move here and need a gym, don't look any further. Oss”

“Having started my BJJ training late in life, I'm truly blessed to be surrounded by such fine people. Having grandkids, it's great seeing the kids blossom into fine, confident humans. Thanks, Professor Mauricio, and the upper classes for a great training experience. I'm learning a lot and have never been so fit.”

“Been taking my son for a couple months and have been impressed by Professor Mauricio’s passion and knowledge of Jiu Jitsu. Decided to start training as well about a month ago and have had a great time. Great workout and lots of fun! Great environment and great people all around. I have no previous experience and everyone has been very helpful and patient. Highly recommended.”

“What a great facility to train at and such a great team to train with. Ive been with checkmat for over 2 years, have been training BJJ for just about 10, and in my travels I have never found a gym such as this! Everyone supportive of each other and great friends. Offers kids classes, fair pricing on membership, gi and nogi, culture of safety. Professor Mauricio Carra is a gold mine of knowledge and trains with and coaches each of his students every class, and besides, a great guy! You won’t want to train anywhere else when you realize the quality of the instruction and the amazing environment at checkmat riverview :) nothing but good things to say!”

“Today I went to this gym for the first time, it reflects all the values ​​of Checkmat, and a little more. The teacher is very accessible, friendly, very careful in every detail when teaching the technique, and making sure that one executes it correctly. The classmates are strong, fast, but careful enough to protect the opponent from injuries. I know of few places where you can practice jiu-jitsu as confidently and as safely as there.”
