What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jair Garrido
"Professor Collin has been personable from the beginning. When I signed up it wasn’t a machine. He was welcoming even through his text. I enjoyed my two trial classes I bought a shirt and attended a takedown seminar hosted. If I lived nearby I would’ve signed up, my workplace is close but I’m working more remote now. I recommend this gym if you’re in the area. The professor will meet you where you are no matter what level. There are no egos in this gym, the members I met were super welcoming. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. They will work with you no matter what level you’re on. Not many gyms give you two free trials, so at minimum check it out. Side note: I wrestled in high school and these are the softest mats I’ve stepped on, which if you have grappled you will appreciate. Go train."
Francois Diatta
"Had an amazing time training here while visiting Dallas! The environment was welcoming, the people were super friendly, and the level of training was top-notch. Great vibes all around—from the instructor to the students. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get some solid rolls in and be part of a positive, respectful community. Will definitely be back next time I’m in town! Can’t wait. Oss"
Chris Andrews
"I’ve been training BJJ since 2014 and this has been my home for the past 3+ years. Professor Collin is a standout teacher, great person and dedicated to his craft. He has been practicing this art since the “tough man” days and affiliated with Caio because of his relevant and progressive curriculum. I’m telling you, this school will make you a better person and a beast on the mats! Tons of classes from morning until night and you will find some of the best people around and a coach that cares about you. Give CTA a try, because here you aren’t a number, you are part of the family."

"First visited the gym back in February of 2019 prior to moving out to Texas in October 2019. I came right back to the gym when I moved out here. Fast forward to almost 4 years and the gym for sure has developed and grown. Been an active competitor and was to have many successes thanks to Professor Collin Grayson and the peers. From the competitive person to the person wanting to make a difference in their life, we all stick together. Professor Collin Grayson has the blueprint… One Team, One Family"
