Our daughter has had a great time learning Jiu-Jitsu from Carlos and other instructors. She has developed a new level of confidence and physical ability since she started. The environment is friendly and encouraging for men, women and kids. Plenty of class times available during the week and Saturdays.

Our 8 year old absolutely loves BJJ – it is a LOT of fun. The sense of camaraderie is fantastic – so good that our 6 year old has recently informed us he wants to go now too!. Bravo Carlos – thanks for creating such a welcoming and yet challenging environment.

From the moment you step foot through the door to the last step as you leave, you are made welcomed by the Professor and his disciples.
Base Gracie is an amazing gem tucked away in Cleveland, that I had the privlege to visit. The coaching and instructions were insightful and the professor really takes the time to monitor and mentor every student on his mats. I only wish I lived closer so that I could attend regularly. Hope to visit in the near future. Thank you.

Fantastic academy where you are made to feel like family. Both my kids train here and I can’t recommend it highly enough. If you are looking for a martial art for your child, then this is the academy to take them to

Alavanca. True self-defense. Vale-Tudo. Prepare you for the street. Great coach, amazing humble students. Jui-Jitsu is everything, it’s what we say, it’s what we do and it’s how we treat other people. Please come along your eyes will open 🙂 much respect,

Where the teacher will always sit down…and REALLY talk to his students, listen to them, demonstrate, and educate them. Great place for my young bloke to find brothers….

Great instruction so close to home.
Carlos is great at getting back to basics and the finer points of the technique.
His methodical approach to instruction and experience are on display every session.

As a complete novice to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu & martial arts in general, Carlos has taught me so much in such a short time.
