What Our Students Say

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

JA Guerrero

"So many great things to brag about when it comes to Garami Jiu Jitsu located on Waldo’s Beach Road in Fayetteville. From day one, we felt welcomed and supported by the coaches and the community. The instructors are not only skilled and professional, but they also truly care about each student’s growth—on and off the mat. My kids are learning more than techniques—they’re building discipline, resilience, and respect. The gym is clean and well-run, the there are classes available Monday-Saturday and on Sunday at their secondary location in Fayetteville. For those that homeschool or looking for lunchtime class they offer Tuesdays at 12 and the environment is incredibly positive. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills, this is the place to be. We feel incredibly lucky to have found this gym and to be part of such an inspiring and uplifting community! Something I’ve heard the coaches say is that “You’ll never regret getting on the mat!!!!!!”"

Kate Colonna

"Both of our sons attend classes here and look forward to every session. They have grown so much in confidence, discipline, and skill since they started. The coaches are fantastic with kids and create a great mix of structure, encouragement, and discipline. My husband helps with coaching the kids’ classes and also trains in the adult class. It has been an amazing experience for him, both in terms of personal growth and being part of such a supportive group. The instruction is excellent and the adult program is just as welcoming and high quality as the youth program. What makes Garami truly special is the sense of community. It feels like a family where everyone supports and motivates each other. Whether you are just starting or have experience, you will feel included and encouraged from day one. If you are a parent looking for a positive and empowering environment for your children or an adult who wants to train in a friendly and skilled setting, Garami Jiu Jitsu is the perfect place. We are so happy to be part of this gym."

"This is an amazing gym for all skill levels! The instructors are knowledgeable, technical and helpful. I’m newer to the Fayetteville area and needed a place to train. If you’re looking for a gym to meet your grappling needs, look no further than Garami Jiu Jitsu! Monday classes will test your mettle & the rest of the week will grow your skill level. This is a complete gym and if you have kids, they have an amazing youth program!"

"We’ve been training with Grammy for a little over a year now and we love it. We’ve become part of the family. We work out once a week in the headquarters location, which is Hope Mills and then they have a location in Cape fear and a location downtown and we’ve been to all of them but Cape fear is our home gym and we love it there we love everybody. It’s a real chill atmosphere. And it definitely burns off a lot of energy for your little kiddos. They start as young as three if they’re not in diapers check them out."
