What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Jean M Toal
"When the coach and assistant coaches take lessons seriously to make sure their students are set up for success, you don't leave the class/institution. The whole crew will treat you like family; neither my daughter (a student - 12 years of age) nor they would not have it any other way."
Travis Williams
"hands down the best training facility around. From Professor C. Popdan to the kids coaches, by far the nicest and most knowledgeable training staff that I have encountered. I always look forward to walking through those Chango doors knowing the experience will be great every time. Highly recommended."
Shannon Garguilo
"The all 5 star reviews are 1000% warranted. This place is fantastic. We are so bummed we couldn’t end up putting our son in long term (moving out of the area next month) but we definitely would have. The owner is kind, communicative, and knowledgeable. The instructors made my son feel so comfortable and welcome. He absolutely loved going to the classes and the pricing was definitely beyond fair for what was included. If we ever find ourselves moving back to this area there is no doubt we’d sign back up!!"
Isaac Benrubi
"Chango is the best place in the Summerville area to train BJJ! Professor Chris and his staff are incredibly talented martial artists, instructors, and people. The students are very welcoming and come from an incredibly diverse population. If you or someone you know wants to try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Chango Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the place to do it!"
