What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Bill Irons

"Coach Fabricio & Coach Sarah are INCREDIBLE! I’ve been searching for a gym for my kids 4 & 5 years old. This is the place for us! The introductory classes offered are amazing and let you and the kids feel at home! Very family centered! Looking forward to my families growth with Checkmat Exeter! THANK YOU!"

daddyrooster88

"My experience with Checkmat Jujitsu has truly been world class. What a family environment and top notch instruction. Professor Fabricio has a great teaching style and a genuine passion for his craft. He passes that on to his students from kids to adults (women & men). There are many class times to fit your busy schedule. It is great exercise and instruction at the same time. We are very fortunate to have Checkmat and professor Fabricio in this area. He has a free trial class to give you a feel of what to expect. I highly recommend this academy give it a try it just might change your life!"

Pa NerdKid

"Checkmat Exeter is a great place to take your kids! Professor fabricio is so patient with kids. My 2 boys started jiujitsu with him at a different location and since he’s moved to Exeter we have taken the trip for our kids to still get some time in with him. Definitely makes jiujitsu a great fun experience!"

Joseph Colunga

"I absolutely love everything about Checkmat Exeter. Very family oriented with a great atmosphere. Fabricio is very knowledgeable and has a great system of teaching. It’s very tough but rewarding, I train here and both my kids train and we all love it. He pushes my kids limits but also encourages them to be uncomfortable but also confident. The growth I have seen in them is inspiring. Can’t say enough good things about Checkmat I highly recommend if you or your kids are interested in jiujitsu you come and just talk to them and watch some classes."
