V1SION Jiu Jitsu (Checkmat)

"I signed my 5 year old up for Jiu-jitsu at this studio about three months ago. The studio is clean. The coaches are knowledgeable. The kids learn and practice real skills immediately. I would recommend it for beginners and experienced athletes."

"This place is a welcoming community of jiu jitsu practitioners with a top-notch kids program. The coaches maintain a great balance between not babying the kids and remaining calm to teach the kids in a fun atmosphere. I do wish there were a class level in between micro rollers and mini rollers (the gap between the two is rather significant in my opinion), but as V1SION is continually evolving their programs they may consider it in the future. My 6-yr-old has both tried and is currently participating in various sports, and jiu jitsu here at V1SION is definitely worth your time for a trial especially if you're torn between other martial arts program options like TKD or karate."

"The coaches of V1sion have been like family the last 3 years. Their care and energy has yielded priceless results with my children. The facilities are always clean and the flexibility of class times ensure that we are always able to train when we are able."

"Its hard to put in words a place thats amazing as here. Its not just a gym, academy, public place ... its a home, it's family, a place to learn...laugh...and enhance yourself physically, mentally and internally. The team is amazing, the programs are top level and the instructors are some of the best in the community. This is one phenomenal training facility ...... Checkmat is the best!"

"Jiu Jitsu has so many benefits: physical, mental, social, etc. My wife, 2 sons and I all love training here. Highest level instruction for all levels. Hard rolls met with good vibes, humility, transparency and warmth. Many of the students and I have been training together for years under Professor Marcelo (“Captain”) since we began training. He and the other instructors are all very experienced and highly successful competitors who know what it takes to win- their medals are hanging at gym(s) throughout the area, as multiple time champions in gi and no gi. This is super important, so make sure to ask this or look it up when considering BJJ gyms. The kids class is no different- under the guidance of coach Annie, the kids program has over a dozen league champions and highly decorated youth boys and girls. The kids coaches care, show up to all the competitions on time and focused on coaching the kids to win. There is a system built for a winning BJJ curriculum for student development and progress; they do not make it up as they go with a move at a time or a class at a time or for multiple martial arts. They are also very kind, very good-hearted and welcoming people who care very deeply about the art of jiu jitsu and their students. You can see that is their motivation and passion, and their success is a byproduct of that. Billing and payment is all fair, clear and straightforward, no surprises, no haggling, etc. The student base is very welcoming and very diverse. There are a lot of families, a lot of upper belts who enjoy hard rolls and working with lower belts. There’s the best woman’s crew I have seen at a BJJ gym. If you’re new you’ll be welcomed with open arms…if you train already in the area this is really a great option for a program capable of developing students to win in competition or into their intermediate or advanced phases."
