I train at another academy in Charlotte, NC, and often travel for work. Professor Léo Silveira at Checkmat Myrtle Beach welcomed me in to his class as if I was a member of the team. I never felt like a drop-in student, he treated me like one of his students the entire time. The instructions and demonstrations were excellent, and Professor Léo took the time to correct each of our mistakes while drilling. I felt so welcome by the team, got excellent instruction and tough rolls. The space is very clean, with a waiting room area, warm up mats, cubbies, clean restrooms....I cannot recommend Checkmat Myrtle Beach enough to those in the area or traveling through.
Great place with really excellent teaching level and also very welcoming I was in town for a night and messaged over to take a class. Really glad I did. The instruction was excellent and I felt very welcomed. The flow was great, and I was super impressed at the technical skill of the lower belts. Everyone did great and you can see this gym is filled with connections. The coach knew every students story, not just their name and you can just smell when you stumble on someplace that’s just a cut above the rest. Great place, made some new friends and looking forward to a longer visit in the future!
Great place! I was on vacation with some friends and my buddy and I stopped in for a class. They were EXTREMELY welcoming and I'd go back in a second if I'm ever down that way again. If you're in the area, stop in and check them out!
