What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Alex Vang
"My kids have been attending BJJ here for nearly a year, and we love it! Our kids look forward to class and miss it dearly when they can't make it. The coaches are plentiful, accessible and very knowledgeable, who have even given extra time to help our kids when needed. Our kids have excelled because of their care and the care of helpful students. I have often discussed with other parents of the students about how good the community is at CHECKMAT. I personally believe that Eli and Brandy have created a purposeful, approachable, and family-friendly environment. My baby has grown to love it there too!"
Jamey Matalka
"Last year I was in my search for a BJJ academy for my 5 year old. I found Beda here in Folsom and what an absolute great place to train and learn. So much so I joined as a family group, attending myself and now have both my boys involved (6 and 4 now). We have also made friends for the kids that attend birthday parties outside of the academy, a testament to the culture here."
Trevor Lambert
"I am new to Jiu-jitsu and started here about a year ago. What a great journey its been. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone thinking about starting or switching gyms. Eli, Brandy, and the other Black belts that assist teaching have been very helpful and sincere, leading and teaching us on our journey. Also the gym has a great friendly atmosphere without the big egos. Lots of talented upper belts that are seemingly always willing to answer my relentless questions."
Nick Moores
"A great place to grow for both children and adults. Eli and Brandy have created an amazing culture, everyone is extremely warm and welcoming. Proud to be able to call this gym “home”"
