What Our Students Say

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

Chris Braunsdorf

"I can't say enough good things about Lucas Lepri Jiu Jitsu Academy in Charlotte! I moved here a little over 2 years ago, the whole team was (and is) so nice and welcomed me in immediately. The environment they've created in the gym is fantastic. A culture of helping each other get better, respect, fun, and safe training. Professor Lucas, Edson, and all of the coaches are incredibly skilled, great teachers, and great people. Both adult and kid programs are top notch! I've made so many awesome friends here, and my jiu jitsu has noticeably improved. I'm super happy to be a part of the team! Thank you all so much"

Keltie Jean

"The people here are awesome! I stopped in from out of town and everyone was very friendly and respectful. I had great rolls and lots of fun!"

Don Johnson

"This is a great academy. My daughter (6) and I both trained before moving to Charlotte. There is no doubt that this is elite jiu-jitsu instruction. Beyond that, I really like the culture in this academy. When it is training time, everyone is very serious about learning the techniques presented that day, but they maintain a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere while doing it. This is true the whole way down to the children's classes. I've been really impressed by the fact that Professor Lepri regularly teaches the children's classes, and there are a lot of other high-ranking belts there to help out, which is really important to make sure the kids get the most out of it. I've never seen that type of student/teacher ratio anywhere else. I'm really looking forward to training here for years to come."

Pedro Priori

"Amazing gym and staff. Glad I had the chance to visit them for a session. Lots of space well lit. Definitely recommended for those looking for top quality Brazilian jiu-jitsu."
