Most importantly, the instruction is excellent. Nick, Stacy, David, Charlie, and Steve are all great martial artists, teachers, and human beings. They are focused on helping their students - no egos, self promotion, etc. The facilities are clean and well maintained. Last, there is a great vibe - a sense of community and respect for all. After looking at several places around town, Gracie Carlsbad is definitely a step above the rest. Great place for kids or adults to train.

Is Stephano really charging former students a $50 annual fee to acknowledge their rank? So, if he promotes you and you start your own school, I guess you have to pay the fee or do you lose your ranking? This is even being looked down upon by the Gracie family. No thanks, too much competition to have an ego-maniac as an instructor.

We love Freedom Jiu Jitsu Academy! My son has been training at this gym for a year and a half. The facilities are top notch. The trainers are excellent, work well with the kids, and are highly skilled and knowledgeable. Staci Stefan is the heart of this gym. She was the first person we met when we stopped on a whim. Staci, along with the other amazing coaches, are so encouraging and passionate. My son has improved in both his jiu jitsu abilities but also his confidence and strength. Plus he has a lot of fun doing it!

So awesome. This was my fifth year joining the Gracie Carlsbad team in the mornings while vacationing in California. Nick and Staci have created a truly welcoming environment. I appreciate the instructors in depth knowledge of sport and self defense jujitsu and am glad to learn and grow with them during my training visits. I highly recommend you give them a try. In addition I had the chance to observe their kids summer program and was very impressed.

Been training here for a little over a year. The instructors are awesome, very welcoming and knowledgeable. The facility is great, large and modern. My fellow students are encouraging and understanding while still being killers. Great atmosphere to train and get better at Jiu-jitsu. There are plenty of gyms to train at, but I would recommend anyone that wants to get into Jiu-jitsu or has already trained to sign up for a free trial and check out what these guys have to offer.
