Mark Pellon
"I had a great experience with Professor Charlie and his students. It’s great sign when you are visiting from out of town and they treat you like this is your homeschool. Quality instruction and quality environment. Stop in if you’re ever visiting and definitely consider them if you live in the area."
Mi G
"New State Fitness is top notch. Charlie is a great teacher, is passionate about his students' progress and takes care to keep everyone safe. The students are welcoming and talented and the atmosphere is great. There is something here for everyone whether you are a BJJ beginner or an advanced player. It's truly an honor to train here!"
Michael Stoller
"Awesome place to train! I was traveling and Professor Charlie was very inviting for me and 2 friends to come into his gym. He allowed us to wear our own gis that we wear at our home schools too. His school is full of really awesome people as well and has white belts to black belts! Really relaxed atmosphere too! Next time I'm in NOLA, I'm definitely going back!!"
Steven Brailsford
