Now, two years later, nothing has changed and I mean that in the best way possible. All of the instructors, coaches, and professors are still amazing. I never left and I'm still training Jiu Jitsu here as an adult. At most martial arts schools, you mainly see kids' classes, but here you'll find something special: kids training, sparring, and even learning alongside their parents. It creates an incredible environment and a real sense of community. Amazing school and wonderful experiences! OSS

I honestly don't know how a business can make it this difficult for someone who is trying to become…read morea customer. 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.

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.

How are you going to take a break and leave my child practicing by himself while you're outside smoking ! Not happy ! Also be careful when signing your child up I called and spoke with Josh and he informed me the price of $140.00 a month never mentioned a $50.00 registration fee that was the first issue I had then never told us that we needed to buy gloves and wraps! So on his first day we had no choice but to pay more and purchase wraps from the place and then I was told the gloves would be $60 when in fact it was $75.00 ! I would have expected all of this info to be provided when I called and inquired about the class and I asked what was needed like what does he wear etc . That would have been a good time for them to say also on top of the $140 there is a registration fee and he needs to have gloves and wraps to participate! Also the way they go about things like combining multiple age groups into one class is a bit intimidating to a 8 year old. This place treats you like a number and not a person in my opinion. You also have to hound the owner to provide you with an invoice . Otherwise you will get billed all together if not. Another parent mentioned how he had to constantly remind the owner to bill him and then out of nowhere got billed for a total of three months worth of classes . I'm sorry but if I'm paying business I should not have to remind them to bill me on time.
