    I started training at Checkmat Brazilian Jiu Jitsu around the holidays last year, and to be honest, I was pretty nervous at first. I didn’t know what to expect or how to carry myself, especially in a sport that involves such close contact. But from the moment I walked in, Professor Art, Professor Leka, and everyone at the school made me feel incredibly welcome. Professor Art guided me throughout my first few practices with patience, encouragement, and clear instruction. As a complete beginner, I really appreciated how supportive and helpful he was while I was learning techniques I had never done before. One of the first things I noticed was how clean the mats were and how huge the academy is..definitely a big plus! More importantly, there’s a strong, close-knit family vibe at Checkmat that makes you feel like you belong. Fast forward four months, and I’ve truly grown to love this sport. The Professors and fellow students continue to inspire and motivate me to push myself, stay consistent, and keep growing. Not to mention, it’s such a great workout! If you're thinking about trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I can’t recommend Checkmat enough!

    My buddy Matt has been trying to get me to a class for years. I had a great time at open mat. Everyone was super respectful of my training level and kind. Professor Daniel was really impressive to watch as well! 💪🏼🫡

    We love this gym! Professor Art and Professor Leka are so good with our boys… plus what is better than a family owned/operated small business? Highly recommend!

    We've had an amazing experience with Checkmat Valencia. Professor Leka, Professor Art, and the Checkmat team are absolute professionals. They have world class technical experience, but perhaps more importantly, they have a deep understanding of how to relay their experience and passion to their students. My 8-year-old son has been attending Checkmat for about 8 months and he loves it. I noticed his self-confidence grow since he started with Checkmat. He tells me his favorite days are the days he goes to jiu jitsu. He's tried multiple sports and has never shown as much enthusiasm as he has for jiu jitsu and a huge part of that is Checkmat's approach to introducing children to jiu jitsu. This is a super kid friendly place. I have so much confidence in this program that I encouraged my 5-old son to try it. Professor Art and Professor Leka welcomed him to trial experience and he had so much fun he joined and is now a member of the Checkmat family. I highly recommend this program. The children grow in their self-confidence, their self-awareness, inner (and outer) strength, discipline, and most importantly, they have fun!

    I’ve been training at Checkmat Valencia for 5 years now and my kids ages 4 and 5 both are being training there for almost a year now. Prof Leka and Prof Art are amazing teachers and they have a very talented staff as well. The Kids classes offer a fantastic environment for children to learn valuable life skills. They take amazing care of the kids and you can tell they discipline them and make it fun for the kids at the same time. I noticed a behavior change in my kids. They feel more confident and behave much better since they start training. I train 3x a week with a great group of people. Everyone from top to bottom is very nice and the atmosphere is great. Checkmat Valencia is vey family oriented and I recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn Jiu-Jitsu!

    We have been coming to Checkmat for 4 months and our only complaint is we wish we had started sooner! Confidence is so important for our youth but especially for us our young daughters. My girls have learned a confidence in themselves and their strength that we couldn’t have ever taught them without the help of the training Checkmat provides. It truly is a family establishment- Professor Art and Professor Leka really care about their students and their well being. They take the time to help them grow and learn their strengths. My daughters are in the kids class and the lessons are geared toward having fun but learning important lessons at the same time. We’ve also noticed a new sense of respect for themselves and others. It’s become a family affair for us- while my husband haven’t joined quite yet we get to play with our daughters and they show us the new techniques they’ve learned. We are so happy to be part of the Checkmat family and would recommend it to anyone. The confidence building alone is worth every penny. We plan on being around for a long time and look forward to the future strength and confidence our family will gain!
