What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Brandi Day
"Can’t say enough good things about this gym and its coaches! My son started at 7yrs old and is now 9. He has gained confidence and discipline and quite a few really good friends. He competes regularly and even picked up two sponsors! They have classes for all levels as well as multiple days and times. If you are on the fence about trying Jujitsu they even offer a free trial class!"
Jesse Roache
"Checkmat is the best. The coaches are amazing and my family loves training here. They truly care about the sport and each individuals jiu jitsu journey. They show up for tournaments and coach you through your matches. We have enjoyed the last year and a half of training here."
Jourdain Thrash
"Checkmat is the best gym in the area, hands down. Their coaching staff is formed by world renowned athletes and are not just highly skilled, but great teachers. Finally, the unspoken thing about Jiu Jitsu is the community that it comes with. Checkmat had some of the best community there has to offer. Come and check it out, you will love it."
Jeremy Butler
"If you need a place for your kids to get all the energy out and learn a wonderful discipline this is the place to be. I’m amazed constantly by the coaches and the patience they have with the children. It’s incomparable. The first couple of weeks might test them more than you thought but the kids come out on the other side with a great attitude, confidence, and a skill that will continue to grow. And the cherry on top is the friends they make. 100% recommend Checkmat Daphne!"
