Great coaches, immaculate facility, kind and respectful community!
The amount of knowledge you pick up from this place is immeasurable. The instructors are dedicated to their jobs to the highest standards, and it helps that they are serious, but easy going. I'm extremely happy to have found them. It helps that they also offer cryogenic therapy. Just an amazing place!
I first came to this gym following the head coach Zach Striplin. It is a great place with great people. If you're looking for great Jiu-Jitsu for adults, kids, gi or no gi this place does it. A great beginners program started recently as well. They are partners with the killer cryo therapy place next door as well. Do you want to punch or kick stuff or people, they also do Muay Thai training. How much time do you have and how much do you want to learn?
I love this place! I’ve been coming to Carlson Gracie EDH for a little over a year for jiujitsu and more recently, Muay Thai. Professor Zach really is extremely knowledgeable after years of training and teaching various martial arts. The classes are fun and have a welcoming atmosphere. No matter what level you’re at, Professor Zach and the other coaches will work with you at your level to help you feel confident and learn.
I love training here at Carlson Gracie El Dorado Hills because I learn so much training here. I have gotten so much better training here. Zach and all the coaches here are amazing. Great training partners here. I would highly recommend Carlson Gracie El Dorado Hills to everyone.
Great coaching, great service, great culture. I'm glad to be apart of it!
Carlson Gracie El Dorado Hills is simply amazing. The Proffesor’s are top notch and take the time to breakdown movements and will not hesitate to stop what they are doing to help you out. The facility itself is spotless and details to cleanliness is above and beyond. I count down days until the next class day! This place rocks!
I’ve been training jujitsu for over 4 years. This is a wonderful gym to train at. Everyone is very respectful and knowledgeable. Coach Zach is an amazing instructor. Ladies, jujitsu is a great form of self defense. It’s a must have skill set. My whole family trains, including my 15 year old daughter. Jujitsu has built up her confidence and self-esteem. We look forward to seeing you on the mat!
I am impressed with the overall experience at C G El Dorado Hills. The facility is new and well thought out and the instructors are truly competent and serious about improving the skills of students while still keeping it fun and exciting. The adjacent Cryo/Wellness center is a convenient way to rejuvenate and recover after time on the mat.
Amazing gym! Great community and excellent instruction. Located next to Cryo Lab, also a great service on its own. They teach yoga, muay thai, and jiu jitsu here, at an expert level. I would recommend to everyone at any age or any fitness level!
Finally found a home at Carlson Gracie EDH, and can’t thank these guys enough for their dedication! My journey started last year after joining the “beginner accelerator” program, and if you’re reading this review, SIGN UP NOW. Their unique approach for teaching the fundamentals in phases, and using them as building blocks is second to none, and a rare find. There is no, “here’s a technique, now go roll for an hour” type of instruction at this place. This a positive and encouraging environment, and you won’t be disappointed in your progress. QUICK NOTE FOR BEGINNERS…joining a new gym can be intimidating, especially if you are brand new to training/martial arts in general. It’s an understandable feeling, but I promise you, the coaches do not put up with the ego’s and aggression that are common in a lot of gyms, and will actively weed those individuals out. This is a place to learn, excel, and gain a sense of belonging and community. The coaches are patient with the students, and actually care about the students learning and understanding the technique. Their support for the students is unparalleled. They promote competing in local competitions, and take time out of their weekend life schedule to come out and support you….it really is a family environment. I can’t wait for my son to get old enough to start in the kids program! Lastly, I’d like to comment on their sense of community. Not just the fight community either, these guys really know how to support local and promote local, and put their money where their mouth is. They have an open event each month as a small business meet and greet/promotion, so even if you don’t join the gym (which would be a mistake), come check them out on the first Tuesday of each month and get involved in the local community! Very big thanks to Carlson Gracie EDH for allowing me to be part of the family! See you on the mats!!🤘🏼🇺🇸
Great coaching and camaraderie, inside a well kept, clean, and organized training space! All coaches are extremely knowledgeable and personable, and the atmosphere is welcoming and conducive to newbies and advanced BJJ athletes, in the tradition of the Carlson Gracie lineage! Not to mention, access to the incredible CryoLab EDH facility!!
The instructors at Carlson Gracie El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu Academy, Zach and Geromy, are truly exceptional. Their dedication to their students' progress is evident in the clear and concise instruction they provide. What makes this academy unique is its supportive community, where everyone is committed to personal growth both on and off the mats. The carefully designed curriculum allows students to progress at their own pace, and I have been amazed at how much I've learned in a short time. This academy has not only helped me grow as a martial artist but as a person as well. I highly recommend Carlson Gracie El Dorado Hills Jiu Jitsu Academy to those looking to learn jiu-jitsu, get in shape, or be part of a supportive community.
I love the family vibe at Carlson Gracie EDH. From welcoming visiting members from SoCal to a little drillin and grillin on a Saturday, this is my second home. World class training and all around great people! Come check us out.
Extremely welcoming environment, filled with great people and amazing coaches! If you're looking to learn some solid jiu-jitsu this is definitely the place to be. The coaches will help you build a good foundation. If you have already been training, you will definitely love the small details taught that will help tighten up your bjj game.
