He leads by example and his students emulate him to wonderful results. He treats everyone with respect and kindness. His students learn the value of discipline, respect, humility and confidence all while having a lot of fun. The dojo is tranquil, spacious, clean and adheres to CoVid safety precautions.

Signed the family up to take classes at the Relson Gracie Academy on Tremont avenue and I can tell…read moreyou that coaches Mike and Rich are both great. Mike Casey is the head coach/owner and an old school Gracie guy.. as real as it gets.. a black belt under Relson Gracie.. super knowledgeable and a great motivator with a no nonsense demeanor. As a beginner I can tell the that the core/fundamental program is awesome.. It is real authentic Gracie Jiu-jitsu.. real combat/ street self defense. The Core program can honestly be done wearing no gi as it is all about real world scenarios, real Gracie style street combat that could save your life. Some schools have gotten away from original Gracie Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and focus entirely on "sport Jiu-jitsu" which has tons of rules and is all about getting points in tournaments.. this is not that school.. although some of the guys do compete.. The blue and higher ranking belts in the school are also very helpful and a great group of guys. Another great thing is that Mike gives you the lesson plan for the whole year, so you know exactly what to expect every class.. The facility is always clean, floor and wall padding always clean, two bathrooms, water fountain etc.. and I always find street parking. The kids program is great for the little ones learning to grapple and is primarily a bully defense program. It is very safe as they are not allowed to do submissions until they reach teenage years and enter the adult program. Overall highly recommended

Not sure where to start as this is my first review on Yelp..ever!…read more Many moons ago (lol) just kidding. I did not find this place on Yelp, yet if I was searching Yelp and found it I would never regret it. My cousin introduced me to the Sensei of this school Jadi Tention. One of the best things he could have done for me. Growing up I've always wanted to take self defense / martial arts, yet my mother could not afford it. As I became and adult I figured it was time to follow one of my life's passions and signed up with Tention Championship Karate (TCK). Fast forward - six years later I still train at TCK and for many reasons: He cares about his students (from the children to the adults). He's built his dojo around the development of our future youth. He takes the time to hear the parents and students concerns. He's competed all around the world and still teaches seminars and spars with us as well. He treats everyone as an equal. He really goes far and above the normal martial arts school (and I've been to several prior TCK). Enough rambling! If you're an adult and want to lose weight or learn self defense I recommend training here. If you're a parent with a child that's too hyper, being bullied, or disrespectful, bring them to TCK. I've seen many children become great teens and amazing young adults. Martial arts is more than kicking and punching, it will teach everyone no matter the age; confidence, loyalty, discipline, respect,and humility. Thank you TCK for all you have done.
