CJJF North Carolina

“Was in town for work and wanted to find a place to train a couple nights. Found CJJF and called. Ricky was very friendly and explained his drop in policy. I signed up online for a drop in and trained 2 nights here. Coach Jason was great going on some basic things such as head arm choke, mount escapes to leg attacks and counter attacks. I thought I had met him somewhere before in my travels and sure enough I had last year training at Derby City MMA in Louisville, KY. Facility was clean and hygienic. Fellow students were friendly and personable. I will definitely be stopping by the next time I'm in town.”

“I walked in not truly what I was getting myself into all I knew was that I wanted to gain confidence, get in shape and learn something new. I got all those things from training here but also so much more than I ever expected to find. I gained a family and friends I never knew I needed in my life. This is a great place to train whether you have not done anything athletic in the last 10 years or are running marathons every other weekend.”

“From the moment you step in the doors to the moment you leave, the comradery will always be there. Everyone there will make you feel like family, like it should be. I was very hesitant starting BJJ at 35 years old but everyone is literally welcomed and they will tailor a program to fit your needs; from 20 year olds to 50 year olds, male or female, those with background in similar sports to someone with zero experience aka the guy off the couch (ME) - just trust the process and it will pay off. The motto is "leave your ego at the door" because once you enter, we're all equals and that's one of the many things I value most. If you're hesitant, I'd try the free one day course and see if it's for you. The knowledge, experience, patience and family in this gym is unparalleled!”

“The professor is excellent. He is skilled, patient and extremely caring. His professional and warm approach to instructing children is why I trust him with my kids. The gym is warm and family oriented. My entire family trains in Jiu Jitsu and we love the physical and mental growth we have seen from the training. I recommend this gym any chance I get.”

“I've always had a good experience in this gym. Every one there is friendly, willing to educate, and help you grow to become a better person. I highly recommend this gym to all of my friends and anyone else who's willing to put in the work. They've helped me grow mentally and physically. All around great group of people.”
