My daughter has been attending Checkmat for roughly around 4 months. She loves it! It was the best decision ever! She needed to learn how to become more aggressive. We've noticed so much improvement from her by attending these classes. She's learned so much and the Professor's are extremely hands-on, helpful, encouraging and supportive! The atmosphere here is amazing. You will not have any regrets with your decision on enrollment at Checkmat! We are super pleased with our daughter's progress and we look forward to keeping her here for many years in the future. The staff is simply amazing super

From the moment I walked in I could see this was a place for people who give their all. It's written on the walls and lived out by the coaches. They pour everything they have into their work and it reflects on the students. After a week I was hooked, and months later I still look forward to going as often as I can.

Our 3 kids visited Charlotte and professor Michael was kind enough to allow them to train. Great quality instruction and discipline. The other kids we're very friendly and welcoming to all of them. If thinking about jiu jitsu in the Charlotte area, try Checkmat Charlotte. One of the best Jiu jitsu teams in the world. Your kids will have a great start in learning solid Jiu jitsu.

We’ve recently joined the Checkmat family and are loving it! Our 9 year learned so much even the first day and we’ve been really impressed with both the intense (but safe) curriculum and the hands on guidance by the professors during training. It’s been a very positive experience and my kid has his sights set on going very far in this discipline! Give Michael a call and he’ll get you started!

Joining Checkmat Charlotte was one of the best decisions I made this year! So far, my experience has been excellent. Coach Allen offers a variety of classes to cater to people’s skill level and schedule. He truly cares about the quality of instruction his student receive and he makes a huge effort to make sure everyone knows they’re part of the community and the Checkmat family. If you put in the time and work, you’ll benefit greatly from coach Allen’s classes and you’ll see improvements quickly!

I’ve been training at Checkmat Charlotte for about a month now. I couldn’t be happier with Coach Michael Allen and the atmosphere that he has created. My family and I all attend this school and we always feel welcome and supported. Coach Michael is extremely motivating, knowledgeable, and respectful of all students. Anyone that is looking for a place to train, experienced or not, should come to Checkmat Charlotte.

Great gym and instruction, Coach Allen is the best. I've been training at CheckMat Charlotte for over a year now and the gym is growing but the team is only getting. The gym has numerous black belts and higher ranked men and women on the mat daily that helps me get great training each time I'm in class. I would highly recommend stopping by to train and becoming a part of the gym family.
