Carlson Gracie Team Gilbert AZ/Bjj & Family Fitness

Me and my two kids have been going here for about 2 years now. Hands down the best BJJ school in the valley. The staff is very knowledgeable and always willing to help. They're tough on the kids but it always comes from a loving place. Profa Alicia and Prof Alex care deeply about the kids and are always supporting them in class, tournaments, and camps. Can't recommend Carlson Gracie Gilbert enough.

My son, daughter, and I have been training at Carlson Gracie Gilbert and it's an amazing school. They have a fantastic kids program for all ages and have great patience taking the time to teach the kids the fundamentals of the sport. I started training to get back in shape. I started at 240 and am now at 180, below the weight I was in the Marine Corps. Would recommend this school to everyone!

My 10 yo girl and 12 yo boy started with Carlson Gracie Gilbert roughly 7 months ago. My kids are pretty shy but generally athletic and I thought they would enjoy and get a lot out of bjj. My husband and I were immediately impressed with how fair the coaches/professors were with kids but with high expectations. They really believe in the kids. With a membership, the kids could go 5 days a week so we went as often as possible and each kid has learned and grown so much. It became clear from the other members and tournaments we've participated in that this is a top bjj school in AZ and beyond. I'm so grateful we found it and I see my kids being there for a long time.

We've had our 8yr old attending this gym for over two years now. The professor's care! Not just about your child's progress on the mat, but about bigger things like discipline, focus, and team work. The schedule is mostly set, and you attend as much or as little as you want (price stays the same, you can have your athlete practice as much as four times a week). For multi-sport families like ours, this flexibility is great. Like anything, you get what you put in. We're thrilled to call this gym home, and our 6yo is just now getting started. We highly recommend.
