What Our Students Say

C Tutela
"This gym can be your home away from home. I love it here. Great people, super kind, you get tough rolls. Everyone's style is different- heavy military presence so you have people who have trained all over. Right in the heart of downtown Fayetteville, so cute little shops and cafes and cawfee spots close by~"
Jace X
"A good jiu jitsu gym needs two things; good teaching, and good training partners. UACTP has excellent people, and superb instruction. Fayetteville is really fortunate to have this facility. Beginner, or advanced, you should train here."
Samuel Riley
"Seriously one of the best gym and coolest gyms I’ve ever been fortunate enough to train at. The classes and learning environment has a unique flavor from Alex & Jeff that fosters natural inquiry and development to your jiu jitsu game. Very high talent from the owners and other gym members, all willing to work with you and teach you happily and effectively. Would give 10 out of 5 stars if I could."
Will M
"I’ve been training jiujitsu for more than a decade all over the United States and overseas. When I came to Fayetteville I had some concerns about finding a good place to train but I’m happy to say that this place is great and the skill level of the practitioners here is on par with some of the best places around the world. First thing you notice when you come in is there is a little bit different vibe/look than a traditional jiujitsu academy but than beyond that, the people who train here are open to everyone, friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely technical on the mats. There is a great mix of higher belts and previous experience/backgrounds that make this a very diverse crew where practitioners of any skill level can continue learning and growing. If you’re new to Fayetteville and looking for a new gym or just passing through, I’d highly recommend stopping by!"
