    I've been training Jiu-Jitsu for over 20 years, and I can honestly say that Professor Elizandro…read more"Eli" Beda is the best coach I've ever had--hands down. That's not something I say lightly. His Jiu-Jitsu knowledge is on another level. The guy has a photographic memory, which is amazing on the mats (and let's be honest--kind of annoying off the mats when he remembers everything). But when it comes to Jiu-Jitsu, that recall makes him an absolutely world-class instructor. Eli isn't just one of the best Jiu-Jitsu minds out there--he's also one of the best people I know. His values, morals, and integrity are unmatched. He leads by example both on and off the mat, and you truly feel that every time you step into the academy. He's built a team of amazing black belts under him, and the culture at Beda BJJ reflects his leadership--technical, positive, humble, and family-oriented. One thing that really stands out is that Eli teaches the kids classes himself, which most high-level instructors don't do. The kids' program is thriving, and the young students love it. He's got a group of incredible assistants helping out, and they all bring the same energy and dedication. On top of that, Eli is also incredibly intelligent. He was an electrical engineer before going all in on Jiu-Jitsu, and that analytical mindset is part of what makes him such an elite instructor. I consider him one of the best instructors in the world, and more importantly, one of the best people I've ever met. If you're thinking about training or bringing your kids to Beda BJJ--don't hesitate. This place is something special.

The coaches are plentiful, accessible and very knowledgeable, who have even given extra time to help our kids when needed. Our kids have excelled because of their care and the care of helpful students. I have often discussed with other parents of the students about how good the community is at CHECKMAT. I personally believe that Eli and Brandy have created a purposeful, approachable, and family-friendly environment. My baby has grown to love it there too!

    Coaches Jordon, Pren, and Billy are all really experienced black belts, and the blend of knowledge…read morethey bring to class is a solid combo for high-level instruction. They all have different styles and are really patient.They explain the details behind every technique, and they never make anyone feel like being a beginner or not understanding something is a burden. I've been training for a pretty long time now, so it is refreshing to be around coaches who genuinely love the art and love sharing it without ego. This place is a whole family vibe. Having the option of a women's program is really nice too. Coach Katie is a seasoned brown belt competitor, and you can see it right away. Our 14-year-old and 10-year-old daughters both train, and watching them grow so quickly in the kids' program has been one of the coolest things to see as a dad. My 14-year-old will even come train with the adults too, which says a lot compared to some of the other gyms we've been to. We also bring our 3-year-old son, and the gym has this gated kids' area that is pretty legit. He's always having his own little party and is chillin while the rest of us are on the mats. It's a small thing, but it makes a huge difference for families with little ones who aren't quite ready to train yet. The talent and the culture here are authentic, which is really important to me. It feels like family, and for us, it is. If you're looking for a place to train, take an intro class. You'll see what I mean.

    This gym is an absolute gem and truly has something for everyone in the family! Whether you're into…read moreGi or No-Gi, need an early-morning sweat session, evening classes, or even kids' programs; they've got the schedule (and the vibes) covered. The academy is led by three phenomenal black belt instructors who are incredibly detailed, knowledgeable, and genuinely patient. They make learning both effective and enjoyable, no matter your level. Best part? Zero egos, zero tough-guy nonsense; just a welcoming, positive environment where everyone is focused on getting better and having a great time on the mats. Highly recommend!

    My son & I have been training with Sean at Groundworks for about a year & highly recommend it…read more After looking at several other schools & styles we are very happy with our choice. The curriculum is very well laid out for a beginner to built on a solid foundation. The instructors & others students are all helpful and the culture is built on learning, teaching and helping each other. The techniques seem very applicable towards self defense and effective against a bigger or stronger opponent. Techniques are taught both Gi and NoGi for practical application. It's a fantastic workout that's quickly put my in to great shape & leaves me grounded and calm when I finish the classes. This a great atmosphere for beginners so don't be hesitant about trying a class. We have friends kids in the kids classes & the kids love it also!

My son has been a part of Gracie Barra since June 2022. It is his favorite class. Coaches Eric and Sierra are amazing coaches. So patient with the younger kids. It's definitely not easy to teach such young kids when they're have a hard time sitting still, but they somehow make it work. They promote discipline well as listening skills and the ability to follow directions. It's a great way to get exercise but also learn beginners self defense. They make the classes a lot of fun for these younger kids. If you have any kids this is the school I would highly suggest. I can personally say we will be with the school for a very long time to come it is well worth the money. This year my son went to his 1st Jujitsu tournament with the help of his coaches during rhe entire tournament. So glad to have these 2 wonderful people teaching our area the world and art of Jujitsu!
