Alexandra Alvarez
"I can confidently say, joining Checkmat RGV has been the best decision I've made for my family! This gym is more than just a place to learn jujitsu - it's a community, a support system, and a second family. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely care about each student's progress. They create a safe and encouraging environment that allows everyone to learn and grow at their own pace. What impresses me most is the emphasis on family values and character development. Checkmat RGV teaches kids (and adults!) valuable life skills like discipline, respect, and perseverance, which translates far beyond the mat. If you're looking for a jujitsu gym that prioritizes family, community, and personal growth, look no further than CHECKMAT RGV! We feel grateful to be a part of this amazing team."
