Western North Carolina's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu source for authentic Gracie Jiu Jitsu; instructors with over 30yrs experience. Self Defense, competition, MMA.
It is not often one finds an academy culture which fosters such inclusivity and prowess. I have been attending for two years now and have learned a ton from the Basulto’s and their cadre, all very welcoming, well trained and ready to help you succeed. There is good variety among the belt ranks and age, which has been great for a diverse learning experience. They have a great youth program; judo and no-gi a couple times per month; boxing incorporated into advanced classes; and, a great self-defense foundation supported by tradition and a strong curriculum. There is room for anyone here interested in starting or continuing their jiu jitsu journey.

Amazing place to train and better yourself! It has so many professional black belt instructors and the school trains self defense, gi or no gi, Boxing, Savate Kickboxing, and of course Gracie JiuJitsu. It also is a safe place to train for women and kids, and has a strong culture of respect!

They will string you along to squeeze as much money as they can from you. They do formal "Tests" to see if qualify for a belt promotion. No good school I've ever trained at does this, a good school will teach you, pay attention to how you roll and then if they see actual progress they promote you. Unfortunately this is the only school worth going to in this area.

I am a BJJ practitioner with injuries. I have been to multiple schools searching for the right place. The level of detailed, technical instruction here is unsurpassed. From the first contact with Christine via email, to getting signed up with Kevin, they’re communication and customer service has been excellent as well . The prices are extremely fair. They are taking every precaution with the virus. I’m very happy to be a member here now.

Dont go here if you have autsim. If you can't read people, can't pick up on social cues or tend to talk loudly at times. You will be ostracized and eventually kicked out. They use the same tactic that bad restaurants use by pulling in and calling everyone family when in reality they just want your money.
