My son has been attending Arte Suave for almost two months now and I have to say this has been the best thing we could've done for him. He tells me he feels more confident and strong since he started. So far, there has not been a class where the sparring wasn't closely supervised, which is a relief. I have to mention that the coaches do correct and discipline the kids when they aren't paying attention or talking, which honestly I love. The pricing is responsible for three 1-hour classes a week. So far so good 😊 we will stay here for the foreseeable future.
Posted 1 year agoI can't even find words good enough to explain how much my child loves this place. The coaches are so good at what they do. My child looks forward to coming every single class and they even greet her and love her as if they were her parents. I have seen so much change in my child since starting jiu-jitsu. I am so happy I was able to find them and that a parent recommended them to me. Thank you coaches for the work you all put into our kids.
Posted 1 year agoI visited Arte Suave several times over the summer while traveling for work. The owner, Big Jim, is very passionate instructor with a true love for the art. Hiago, the lead instructor, does a great job with technique and his attention to detail is next level. It was impressive that they both took time to help me with technique and guidance even though I was just a drop in from out of town. Every student I encountered, from a brown belt who just one Gold at Worlds to the newest white belt, was respectful and great to train with. This in itself should speak volumes about the academy. My son was with me on one of my visits and he was treated like family is well. He even made the comment “dad, if we ever have to move to Charlotte, at least we will have a place to train that’s like home.” Again, speaks volumes about the academy. The mat space was clean and mopped after every night I was there. I know this is a given at most places but it is nice to see. Overall, amazing academy. Thank you Arte Suave for the hospitality!
Posted 1 year agoI brought my child on the recommendation of another parents. He’s turning four next month so much younger than the other children, but he is excited to try it. The instructor who was a woman was obvious not happy that my child was having some trouble staying engaged but at the end of the class, she was very nasty towards him and refused to high five him. Ultimately, I do not recommend, this place for children as the instructors were very harsh and I don’t think they’re prepared to deal with all children Update: to my initial review I did get a call from the instructor who explained that she had years of experience …. but what was concerning is later receiving a call from a parent asking me to remove my review for “the sake of her child” I found this quite alarming but she then went on to attack me for my experience and the whole thing felt very similar to the interaction I saw the children experience … very much a bully culture and I’m saddened that I wasn’t just reassured that it was an oversight and a mistake instead I was name called and mu character attacked for sharing the experience. Overall the whole situation is quite disappointing.
Posted 1 year agoAbsolutely beautiful jiu jitsu school!!! I travel to different cities often and try to get into a jits class wherever I go-- this instructor Hiago gives excellent instruction and detailed explanation and great rounds. He and his wife are high level competitors and it was an honor and privilege to train there with them and the other students.
