Daisy Ribeiro
"This is probably the most positive experience I have ever had in doing something that's different from my normal workouts I have ever done. It has help me develop different skills for self defense, discipline, and mental focus. My strength in feeling confident and motivated has grown. Not to mention Coach Ryan and coach Mark who are there to keep us motivated and engaged in class. It's a very family friendly place for all ages. My kids also go there and they love it. They do not like missing any days !"
Kolby Kuhn
"My youngest daughter has been training at Charles Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Elk Grove since March 2024. My oldest daughter was timid about joining at first but after watching her sister attend classes for a few months she was ready to join. This is a testament to how positive and encouraging the coaches are. Coach Ryan and Coach Mark are so great! They make sure everyone is learning and improving their skills in each class. I love the perfect balance between focus and fun. My girls have learned so much and their confidence has grown immensely. I cannot recommend them enough, they are the best!"
Bianca Chism
"My kids love coming back week after week. Each student gets recognized and talked to by name when they walk in the building. Love the environment and the staff"
