Sifu is certified in various styles even with a 6th degree in jui jitsu and has judged in the UFC. Currently the schedule is not finalized but the draft for the schedule is in place. Circuit training will likely be on Fridays. There is good cardio work in his Muay Thai classes as well. He also has a kali class which is teaching stick fighting. Right now adult classes start at 5pm. Kids would be 4pm. There are morning classes scheduled for given days. Schedule may change seeing the school just opened and he will adjust it according to the students. Classes right now are $80/month for 3-4 classes a week. The classes are typically an hour long each. It's a really good deal. He teaches himself. He doesnt have an assistant teaching his classes which seems to be common for other schools in town...

My other son has competed in some pretty big tournaments. Overall don't think on it, do it. The professors here are great, the kids have their favorites but even so they enjoy every class. Get your children in jiu-jistu, you can thank me later. I'm going to comment on the other person that made a whole review on their first visit. There are actual professors teaching. Most compete themselves. Also yes there are adult volunteers kinda like a teachers assistant. Or other teens that have time being there and they ask to help out. If you call them before just showing up, someone will be there waiting for you. They will explain everything. They will give you the 411, and how it works. This only applies for your first time. And also it's NOT a scam, yes there are promotions. They promote according to age and or experience. If the child is learning they will get promoted. Yes you will have to pay for the new belt. And yes your contract renews depending on what you signed up for. It's your job to cancel if you don't want to continue. They are also a vendor with some homeschool charters. You can use your certificates here. Your child will not stay a white belt forever.

Over the last two months, I've called twice, left a voicemail, and even signed up online for a free trial. I never received a single call or email back. Today, I finally brought my 5-year-old to the academy because no one ever responded. Instead of helping us get started, I was told they didn't have a uniform that fit him and that we would need to come back another day. I'm genuinely surprised by the lack of communication and customer service. As a parent trying to enroll three kids, I expected at least a return phone call or some effort to help us get started. Instead, every attempt has ended with another delay. It's disappointing because first impressions matter, and unfortunately ours was that new customers simply aren't a priority.

I'm not exaggerating, this instructor was explaining a move and the mom jumped to the mat to correct one of the kids, she wasn't even fit. Then this dad jumped in to make up drills for the kids lmao.

Professor Tom knows how to bring patience and understanding to teaching young kids, while still holding them to real discipline -- and it shows. Even at just 4 and 6 years old, our boys already show him such genuine respect, and as parents, that's exactly what we hoped to find. Our boys have spent the majority of their training with Coach Dienekes, and we can't say enough about him -- his guidance and dedication have been a huge part of getting our oldest ready for his competition in two weeks. On top of that, Professor Tom still made time for a private lesson with him ahead of the comp, even with how busy he's been prepping other students for their own competitions. Above and beyond doesn't even cover it. You could feel how much care and love for the sport both coaches pour into these kids. The facility itself matches the quality of the coaching -- spacious, well laid out, and always clean and organized, with dedicated areas for the different classes and even a lounge for parents. You can tell how much pride they take in the place. We tried another gym before this one, and it just never felt like this. We are so grateful to have finally found our jiu jitsu home. Thank you for everything you do!

We enrolled our son (9) and daughter (12) at this academy a little over a year ago and it's…read morehonestly been one of the best decisions we've ever made. The entire team has been instrumental in our children's success, both on the training mat and at competitions. My wife and I were both multi-sport athletes, but neither of us ever practiced or competed in combat sports so while we weren't sure what to expect, we both understood what effective teaching/training looked like. From the first day, it was evident that the team was focused on developing comfort and confidence in the new students. They were both immediately assigned to an experienced student who made them feel relaxed and walked them through both the drills and lessons over the next few days. They quickly went from being a little scared of joining a class full of students with varied experience levels to requesting to attend class every day of the week. Of all the extracurricular activities they had tried, this was the one that ignited their passion the most. The professor, Tom Cronin, and the entire team of coaches do an excellent job of keeping the kids engaged by balancing expectations with both fun and recognition. They have a great sense of each student and how to motivate them to excel. They also steer clear of pitfalls we were warned of by friends who have children attending other academies, specifically promotions based on attendance as opposed to merit. At this gym, the children are evaluated on their skills and ability to execute the requisite moves. This encourages them to excel instead of just casually participating. Within 9 months they had developed enough confidence to compete and we were blown away at how well they performed against the competition from around the country. Most importantly, they had a coach prepare them the week before with one on one training and he was the one who attended the competition to coach both of them through all of their matches. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly for us, the academy doesn't just teach them BJJ, it reinforces core behaviors that we expect from our children - Respect, honor, and community. At the end of the day, we are all trying to raise the best humans we can and I can say with absolute confidence, that this academy is an integral part of that process for our children. I absolutely recommend Carlson Gracie, Temecula to anyone with any interest in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu.
