Checkmat S Mpls Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

"Feels like Daisy Fresh 2.0. Lemmy and Courtney are a credit to -- and are doing a service for -- the community and Jiujitsu. The technical level of the training is something that would normally be reserved for intense schools that cost twice the price, but here it's available to and understandable by all. The skill & knowledge level to pricing ratio here is super favorable to the students...so noone needs to feel left out or priced out when they're looking for the best school -- and 2nd home at night-- to train at. This speaks to their knowledge of what makes a gym great, and to their desire to build something special solely out of their love for jiujitsu and their students. The average skill level is high, so it's obvious that the training is effective. The training is individualized, relaxed and open; so you have a lot of opportunity to practice live, ask questions, and feel part of the larger team. If you want a relaxed practice because you're sore, fat, or injured, you'll be accommodated. If you're hoping to challenge yourself and be thrown in to a pit with a bear, Lemmy can set that up too. Either way you'll leave with a sweaty smile on your face. So that you get to be a part of building something that is already special--but I'm certain will be way more special in the future--join now."

"Lemmy is among the best coaches around. It's absolutely obvious that he is invested in the success and safety of his students. He has crafted a welcoming and extremely enjoyable environment. I walked into the gym a year ago not knowing anything about jiu-jitsu, and now I feel I've developed a hobby that I'm going to keep with me for the rest of my life."

"Lemmy, thank you, bro. I have been training in JiuJitsu for over two and a half years. I suffered a pretty severe neck injury early on (in NY, not here) that kept me out of the game for a while. I have had the opportunity to train in six different schools (2 in NY, where I live, 4 in MN). What sets Lemmy and this CheckMat apart is his teaching style (rote learning with strategic positional live training) and Lemmy's enormous amount of patience. It's an incredibly effective method that enticed me to train for three of the seven days I was in town. I cannot thank Lemmy, Jose, and the rest of his students enough for the hospitality and the excellent training. It is truly a great school with great people. This would be my home spot if I didn't live in NY. Thanks again, guys!"

"I dropped in for a class while visiting family over the holidays. The instruction from Prof Lemmy was great and the rolls were tough but quality training. The mats and facilities are very clean. I’d highly recommend the gym and I’m looking forward to training here again next time I’m in MN."
