What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Erin Cook
"My son started here at the end of March. He absolutely loves coming here and Sandro is the best! He’s so great with the kiddos and it’s been a great thing for my son!"
Kyle Butler
"My two boys have been attending Sandro Sampaio Carlson Gracie Oklahoma for some time now, and the impact has been incredible. Not only have they learned valuable Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, but more importantly, they’ve gained confidence, discipline, and respect—values that will stick with them for life. Coach Sandro creates an environment that is both challenging and supportive, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about the growth of each student on and off the mat. We’re so grateful to be part of this community!"
Nate Williams
"Renshi Sandro is amazing. He has genuine aptitude. It's a no-brainer; he's been training since the age of 5, beginning in Rio De Janeiro (BJJ Mecca), still actively practices and competes, and is a 5th degree black belt under the greats: Carlson Gracie Jr, Luis Carlos 'Manimal,' and formerly Paulo Filho. He has dedicated his life to the art. Edit: After spending almost three years with Sandro, this place has become family, and I absolutely mean that. The people who stay are those who welcome with open arms. I've been honored to be one of the coaches (primarily for kid's classes), and I've learned a lot from Master Sandro. Lastly, and a minor reiteration: a lot of the reviews are very accurate, respective to Professor Sandro's character: he leads by example with respect and patience, providing a family environment."
Leah Fuentes
"I had the pleasure of visiting from another Carlson Gracie gym in Ashland Oregon. I only got to train a few times but every one was so welcoming and friendly the coach welcomed me with open arms and said his gym was my home and I felt it. I am sad I didn’t get to say bye before I left as I got sick and didn’t want to get anyone else training sick. Thank you coach for your hospitality ! Only place I will train in okc !! OSS"
