What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Michael Hartson
"If you are looking for a way to increase your endurance and confidence, train BJJ. If you want to have that next level of confidence and energy, train at Veda. Veda is my home gym for jiu-jitsu and could not ask for better coaches who have been in the competitive circuit all over the world. Charlie runs wonderful classes and understands what it takes to win. His classes make you work your hardest."
Amir Bayour
"I've had the pleasure of training with Charlie on a lot of occasions and even after our first meeting he was instrumental in becoming the martial artist I am today. He is an international competitor and could absolutely dominate most black belts in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. He is an awesome instructor with a clear and concise teaching style that is very patient with students.... ...but to give you a real understanding of the person who's team you'd be joining: upon hearing the devesation in North Carolina, Charlie packed a load of supplies and drove down to volunteer. He has been there for weeks helping clear areas of trees and debris and search for bodies. In martial arts, there are so many gyms headed by wierdos and egomaniacs. You won't find that at Veda. Charlie is a good person with a big heart that genuinely cares about his team and community. Charlie Pritchett is an absolute gentleman. Also, his team is a bunch of bad mofos!"
Charm Kang
"Veda is an excellent place to train in no-gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The people who train here are all friendly, and the coaches are both kind and knowledgeable, as well as skilled grapplers. Highly recommended."
Simon Miguel
"Veda transformed my body, capabilities and reset my life's track. The money and time Ive spend at Veda (pound for pound) is probably the best investment i have ever made - of my entire life. You're never gonna get ready reading reviews, watching videos or doing push-ups. You get "in shape" when you show up and commit to the work. Veda is the fast lane! Black-belt Charlie is 4 parts-David Goggins, 3 part -Rex-kwon-do, 1 part-Walter Sobchak. You've been warned."
