TESTIMONIALS

Amazing place with an amazing professor! The people here are friendly and welcoming, as well. We have established great friendships with most of the families and individuals here and are blessed to have found such a supportive atmosphere. The professor teaches discipline and respect to the children within the children’s class, while in return, demonstrating patience and understanding equally to all students.

Having started my BJJ training late in life, I'm truly blessed to be surrounded by such fine people. Having grandkids, it's great seeing the kids blossom into fine, confident humans. Thanks, Professor Mauricio, and the upper classes for a great training experience. I'm learning a lot and have never been so fit.

Robert

Hands down the best in the area. My son trains with this group and has truly become physically and mentally stronger. Amazing instructors and extreme professionalism keeps us coming back for more.

Katherine Nieman

Been taking my son for a couple months and have been impressed by Professor Mauricio’s passion and knowledge of Jiu Jitsu. Decided to start training as well about a month ago and have had a great time. Great workout and lots of fun! Great environment and great people all around. I have no previous experience and everyone has been very helpful...

FAQs

QUESTIONS ABOUT US AND ANSWERS

Maurício Carra - Teacher & World Champion

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art focusing on grappling and ground fighting, enabling a smaller person to defend against a larger one through technique and leverage and also serves as a form of physical and mental discipline, promoting principles such as respect, perseverance, and discipline, making it not only a method of self-defense but also a way to improve one’s health, fitness, and character.

No, you do not need to be in peak physical condition to start BJJ. People of all ages and fitness levels are welcome. BJJ training will gradually improve your fitness, flexibility, and strength over time.

Absolutely. BJJ is for everyone, regardless of gender. Many girls and women practice BJJ for self-defense, fitness, and sport. We offer a welcoming and supportive environment for female practitioners.

 

* Boys and girls, men and women may be trained separately or together, depending on each individual’s (or parents’) comfort level.

Unlike many gyms, Checkmat Riverview does not require a contract; we simply ask that students (or their parents) notify us of enrollment cancellation 30 days in advance.

Getting started is very simple! Fill out our online form with your name, best email, and phone number to Request More Information and schedule a 1-Day Trial Class to decide whether or not to continue and enroll for a 50% discount for the first month.
