"I was visiting Charlotte for the day and looking for a place to get a roll in. Happened upon this school, called up and spoke to Sensai/Professor TC. Great guy. Invited me to drop in for their 7:15pm class that night. Couldn't be more welcoming. Class was awesome, I rolled with upwards of 7-8 people at different levels of each belt. Such a great experience to roll with that many Jiu-Jitsu players of many different levels. Highly recommend. A+"
