I was in town for work and called to drop in. They were super welcoming, the gym was clean and they had good mat cleanliness habits. They let me rent a fresh gi and drop in! Lemmy the instructor rolled with me a bit- he met me where I was and took it up a notch which was fun and a sign of a great teacher.
Posted 1 year agoI dropped in out of state today and had an amazing time at their competition training class! If you’re ever in the area I highly recommend checking this gym out! Highly skilled and professional guys all over the mat!
Posted 1 year agoI stopped in today, from out of town, and the place is great! I met the owner/lead instructor and he was very welcoming. Clean and modern facility. Great training and great people. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I will stop in again, when I return!
Posted 1 year agoLemmy, thank you, bro. I have been training in JiuJitsu for over two and a half years. I suffered a pretty severe neck injury early on (in NY, not here) that kept me out of the game for a while. I have had the opportunity to train in six different schools (2 in NY, where I live, 4 in MN). What sets Lemmy and this CheckMat apart is his teaching style (rote learning with strategic positional live training) and Lemmy's enormous amount of patience. It's an incredibly effective method that enticed me to train for three of the seven days I was in town. I cannot thank Lemmy, Jose, and the rest of his students enough for the hospitality and the excellent training. It is truly a great school with great people. This would be my home spot if I didn't live in NY. Thanks again, guys!
Posted 2 years agoAwesome people, great instructions with lots of details that I was not aware of. Everyone gave me a hard time on the mat lol they are tough! Definitely showed me what I need to work on. I was visiting for work and they welcomed me to one of their classes and treated me well.
