CHECKMAT Folsom Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

"It’s been an honor coming here for the last 10 months. The instructors are very welcoming and treat you like family, and training with them is like no other place. They keep a clean studio and are very organized. Definitely recommend 11/10"

"Checkmat Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is not just a gym—it's our sanctuary, our second home. Enrolling our whole family in the family membership several years ago was one of the best decisions we've ever made. From the moment we stepped onto the mats, we were embraced by a community of support and camaraderie. The classes, tailored for both kids and adults, have not only helped us improve our physical fitness and self-defense skills but have also instilled in us a sense of discipline and resilience that extends far beyond the gym walls. As a woman, the women's self-defense class holds a special place in my heart, providing invaluable tools and confidence to navigate challenging situations. But beyond the techniques and workouts, it's the instructors who have truly become our second family. Their unwavering dedication, patience, and encouragement have empowered us to push our limits and achieve goals we never thought possible. They've not only taught us the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu but have also imparted invaluable life lessons on perseverance, humility, and respect. In short, our experience at Checkmat BJJ has been nothing short of transformative. It's a place where we've as individuals and as a family. For that, we are eternally grateful. Five stars doesn't even begin to capture the depth of our appreciation for this incredible community."

"This place has not only improved my own personal self confidence but the dynamic I have with my family as well. The environment is so welcoming and ALL of the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and kind. A special shout out to the owners Eli & Brandy for making such an incredible place my 2nd home. I have never been so torn on wanting to keep this sacred jem to myself and then tell everyone I know how phenomenal this place is at the same time. To pass on this establishment would truly be a disservice. Beda Jiu Jitsu studio can not be copied or replaced. I am truly grateful for for all they stand for."

"I was visiting from out of town for Thanksgiving, and this amazing place was open and everyone was really welcoming. I had a great time rolling with everyone and I learned a lot as well. Thanks guys!"

"This BJJ gym has been a true treasure for myself and my family. I’ve trained at multiple gyms and haven’t found a school where the instructors and students are more skilled. And more importantly, the head instructor and associate instructors have created a welcome and caring environment, so whatever your BJJ goals are, competition, self defense, personal improvement, you will find it here. When you join this gym, you will learn BJJ and become part of a loving family."
