Master Mario knows how to motivate and is not shy about telling people what they need to hear and he recognizes and rewards hard work.

He still teaches the majority of the classes....this includes kids, adults and women and is usually at the academy 6 days a week...You'd be hard pressed to find a coral belt rolling with kids.

They have world class technical experience, but perhaps more importantly, they have a deep understanding of how to relay their experience and passion to their students. My 8-year-old son has been attending Checkmat for about 8 months and he loves it. I noticed his self-confidence grow since he started with Checkmat. He tells me his favorite days are the days he goes to jiu jitsu. He's tried multiple sports and has never shown as much enthusiasm as he has for jiu jitsu and a huge part of that is Checkmat's approach to introducing children to jiu jitsu. This is a super kid friendly place. I have so much confidence in this program that I encouraged my 5-old son to try it. Professor Art and Professor Leka welcomed him to trial experience and he had so much fun he joined and is now a member of the Checkmat family. I highly recommend this program. The children grow in their self-confidence, their self-awareness, inner (and outer) strength, discipline, and most importantly, they have fun!

Even now, they are still patient with me which is great because it allows me to break through my own social and physical barriers with no sense of pressure or direct/ indirect constant criticism. My experience at Ultra Jiu Jitsu Academy has changed my life for the better. Professor Dixon, Professor Pedro and Professor Skye are elite instructors. The coaches are approachable and love to teach as well. They all love what they do and it shows. Aside from the great coaches and professors, the training partners who attend are some of the most down to earth and nicest people I've come around. The environment is what you make it to be but competition and safety are always included. I personally use my training sessions as therapy and leave the stress of normal day living at the front door. I'm sure there's plenty of other places that people swear is the best but I know for sure I found my second home and I can't wait for my son to start as well. Hope this helps.
