Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Menifee

"Great academy for kids and adults, just beginning or who are coming with experience from another academy. The coaches are tough, strict, no BS and fair. My boys have parents that are prior Marine Corps Drill Instructors so they’re used to Orlando’s style, high standards and it’s also the reason we kept the boys at this academy. If you’re looking for coddling, lower standards and coaches that are too nice…this isn’t the Academy for you."

"I personally am thankful for this school and Coach Orlando. My 3 kids and wife train here 5 days a week. I wish i could join them and maybe one day I will (work willing). I appreciate the relationships they have made on and off the mat. Coach is no push over and runs a strong school. His priority is keeping his students safe at all times. I highly recommend this school and all that it has to offer. Thank you Orlando my family loves being on the mats."

"I have three children and a husband who attend Carlson Gracie in Menifee. My children are stronger and more confident because of the coaches. I like the teaching style. Coach Orlando is firm in his teaching. Every week Coach focuses on a specific Jiu Jitsu technique and they practice all week. Friday is question day. The kids are able to ask any question. Coach is patient with them and answers their questions throughly. Jiu Jitsu is the kind of sport that you are thrown into and you have to learn as you go. My children have developed valuable skills in Jiu jitsu because of the coaches. They are able to defend themselves. Every child or adult that attends this school will benefit from it. If you are thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu come to this school."

"Intimidating when you first start, my oldest son is usually quiet and more to himself but he caught on real quick. I think throwing them into it is the best thing for these kids, they learn fast on how to protect themselves. We absolutely love this program, the instructor is amazing with the kids. I enjoy the effective discipline that helps for self-defense. After 7 months in class my son decided to compete, I was nervous and didn’t think he was ready but he brought home gold. We were beyond excited and loving to see how happy he is and how helpful this program is. My sons confidence has risen and he looks forward to practice every day. My younger son just decided he wants to join after going to a few practices watching his older brother. Best investment for my children!"
