Sergio
"Been to Charlotte twice this year and visited CJJA. It's an awesome community of BJJ folks and you can get some really good work with all belt levels. Eli, Patrick, and Zach were awesome instructors definitely would be my go to spot if I was permanently in the area."
Todd Beres
"Went for a drop in while in town for work - was warmly welcomed with “hey friend, make yourself at home” from the coach. Proceeded to get into the lesson and then got some great rolls in. What an amazing atmosphere and group of savages on the mats. Would 100% recommend joining if you live here. I will be back next time in town! Thanks Charlotte Jiu Jitsu family!"
Aaron remson
"I had the opportunity to drop in for a class at Charlotte JJ Academy while visiting from out of town, and it was a fantastic experience. The instructors were welcoming, knowledgeable, and ran a structured, high-level class. The students were technical and respectful, making for great training partners. I’d highly recommend this academy to anyone in the area or passing through—an excellent place to train!! Will definitely be returning when I’m back in the area. Ty soo much !"
Jesse Aaron
"Awesome academy. Had to opportunity to attend a morning class and an open mat while visiting Charlotte. Both were very welcoming and the class had excellent instruction. Would absolutely train here full time if I lived in the area."
