"I’ve been taking my son for over 2 years now and this Dojo is great! Great instructors, instructor Angel is great with the kids. Thank you python for a great experience!"
Nicholas george
"Great place to train. Great no-nonsense instructor. From the very first day I knew this was a REAL self-defense school, focused on arming students with the knowledge to defend themselves confidently, as well as more technical skills for taking your game to the next level. Covering all aspects of the beautiful art of Jiu-Jitsu, you really need look no further."
John Choi
"Great gym reflected by the culture set by the top management/owner. I’ve been to a lot of gyms and this place is the real deal with solid training. Thank you for the hospitality and wonderful experience!"

"Carlson Gracie Jiu- Jitsu- Indio teaches ALL aspects of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: self defense, vale tudo and competition. This is a rarity since today's bjj schools only teach competition jiu-jitsu. Professor Earnest "Python" Estrada is a top notch instructor with over 20 years of teaching experience. He is from the OLD SCHOOL... Smash and Pass and Ground and Pound. Professor Estrada is able to teach the most complex move (gi or no gi, self defense or competition) with ease while explaining the finer points . To reinforce his teachings, Professor Estrada incorporates awesome drilling exercises to enable his students to recognize and execute offensive or defensive moves under a flow manner. Professor Estrada also rolls with his students and coaches them , either while the student is working with him or while students are working with each other, and encourages each student to develop their own style to best suite their body type. I highly recommend Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu- Indio."
