My Personal Experience with Carlos Henrique Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu…read more This post reflects my family's personal experience after being involved with the academy for approximately six years. During that time, my son was extremely dedicated to the program and is an avid competitor in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. For over five years, he was at the academy almost every day from approximately 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM. He would arrive early to assist with coaching younger students for two classes and then stay to train for two classes himself. We invested a tremendous amount of time, travel, and resources so he could compete at tournaments around the United States. Unfortunately, during that time my son experienced what we perceived as ongoing bullying behavior from another coach/parent at the academy. From our perspective, he was ridiculed, made fun of, and demoralized in front of others, which negatively impacted his confidence and emotional well-being. We raised concerns but did not feel the situation was adequately addressed. During the COVID shutdown, families continued to be charged full tuition while the academy was closed. We were told online classes would be provided, but in our experience those were limited or did not occur as expected. The academy also holds belt promotions twice a year that include a promotion fee (approximately $150). Families considering enrollment should be aware of those additional costs. When we ultimately decided to leave the academy, the transition felt uncomfortable and we felt discouraged from training elsewhere. This post reflects our family's personal experience after six years at the academy. Other families may have different experiences, but I believe parents should have full information when deciding where their children train. We have been gone for over two years now BEST DECISION I COULD HAVE EVER MADE. My son is excelling and learning to enjoy the art and sport of JIU JITSU AND COMMUNITY.

He is tough but kind and makes his teaching practical and real-life applicable. He does more than show "how"; he shows "why" too, which is an important aspect of teaching. This is no belt-selling program. It's a tough workout and translates to being able to fight in real life. Coach Ray has my approval and certainly has my son's too.

I've been with the class for over 20 years. And you really can't make an assessment for one or 2…read moreclasses - need to make it to at least Orange belt. [Belt order is white, yellow, orange, green, blue - then 3 levels of Brown before attaining 1st black belt and higher] The classes are about 3 hours for $20.00. Sunday and Wednesday nights. And it isn't just about being a skilled fighter, they want to see you succeed in the outside world as well and be a well rounded individual. You will also learn various weapon defenses, ladies are shown rape situations, mimicry of outside situations, and what I like to call "survival excursions" - where they put your in class training to the test outside the dojo (sort of a combination of "Survivor" & "Real World" which they were doing way before reality TV was a thing) plus a host of other things. Ages range teen's and up, with the majority the class being over 30. You would figure the younger generation would have the stamina to keep up with us older folks, but without the proper training and conditioning it hard to do and it seems a lot of people are looking for the easy quick fix. But not here. You got to condition yourself, mentally, physically and spiritually. It is hard work, commitment and determination. Do you have at what it takes to become the best that you can be?
