Our family highly recommends Vickery Jiu-Jitsu! Our younger daughter loves the kids class and my older daughter and I have been attending the women's classes. The instructors are professional and encouraging in all the classes.

I was so welcomed by the instructor and the other students. What an encouraging, positive atmosphere to learn in!! I would highly recommend it.

Kristina is a gifted athlete and teacher. My journey at Vickery has been amazing. I have learned so much, not to mention how good it feels to pump them endorphins in such a wonderful environment. Highly recommended.

If you’re reading this and wondering if this is the right place to finally start BJJ, stop reading and go in. It is the right place. All levels from beginners to experts benefit from this gym. Whether you’re a hardcore martial artist or a hobbyist who just wants to blow off steam with some casual rolling, Carl makes sure you get what you “want” out of BJJ. The environment is very laid back. The higher belts always lend you a helping hand. Everyone wants you to succeed. And when you’re ready, there are plenty of opportunities to turn up the intensity. One of my favorite things about the

I was completely new to Jui-Jitsu, but that didn't stopped me from participating at this gym. Carl has created a positive learning environment full of friendly respectful people. Everyone keeps a positive attitude while doing drills and free practice with each other. The monthly cost of training seemed scary at first, but when training a few days a week, I saw it was worth every penny. If you're new or experienced I believe this is a great place to start/continue your journey.

Vickery is a fantastic place to train. The instructors are friendly and talented and this is especially true of the owner Carl. He takes the time to help each of his students develop at their own pace. From the basics to advanced techniques, Carl provides detail oriented instruction. All of the members in the gym are also great people with no egos and are very welcoming to new-comers. Additionally, many classes have somebody representing each belt so whatever your skill level is, you can find somebody to roll with.
I highly encourage you to come train in a great environment with top-notch instruction

Carl is a very knowledgeable coach. His Brazilian Jiu -Jitsu teaching is very informative and applicable to all styles of grappling. There are many talented members of this gym who are both friendly and welcoming to new people. Not only is Carl a talented black belt but he is a very talented boxer who will help you improve that aspect of your training too. I highly recommend this gym as a home for those living in the area as well as a place to visit when traveling through.

I spend two weeks in Fort Myers every winter, and when I'm I'm town, this is where I train BJJ, I've trained all over the US and in Europe and Professor Carl, Kristina and the gang are without a doubt the most gracious and hospitable hosts I've ever had. The training was absolutely top-notch and I left with new techniques that i've added to my game and even some fixes on old techniques I already had. Traveling to Fort Myers is always nice, but VBJJ to train at is one of the highlights of my trips. OSS!

Recently moved to Ft Myers. I have trained at gyms with different affiliations across the state and Vickery Jiu Jitsu & MMA is excellent! Carl & Kristina make you feel like part of a family from the moment you walk in the door. Carl's breakdown of techniques is fascinating and he really takes the time for his students to learn properly. Great group of people that train here.
