What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Robert Pelaez
"Top Martial Arts Charlotte is the premier "GI" school in the Charlotte area. If you are serious about your Jiu Jitsu journey, I highly suggest giving TMA a try. You will be sharing the mats with multiple world class Black Belt, all with their own styles giving you a broad range of techniques and variety to choose from. In addition to this, the advance classes offer some of the most dynamic rolls you can think off, a must for those with existing Jiu Jitsu experience."
Martha
"A home away from home. You know you got the right place when you trust your kids to the gym and the instructors. I can't ask for more from the amazing instructions from both the kids and adult class and all our training partners. We are such a perfect blend of all skill levels and body types. Between Top and their affiliate Mint Hill, there is no other place I can think of ever going. This gym has welcomed me and my kids with open arms and I couldn't be more thankful."
