Checkmat is wonderful from beginner and beyond. All of the coaches are amazing (AND PATIENT). They own the room and have everyone's attention. My girls' fav was Fabio. We had a great experience and highly recommend.

Can’t say enough good things about this gym and its coaches! My son started at 7yrs old and is now 9. He has gained confidence and discipline and quite a few really good friends. He competes regularly and even picked up two sponsors! They have classes for all levels as well as multiple days and times. If you are on the fence about trying Jujitsu they even offer a free trial class!
