Dickinson's Best Martial Arts School is now accepting new students ages 7 and up!
Awesome training, great participants, and coaches. A huge, clean, top-notch facility most dojos would dream of.
Thanks, y’all, for letting me drop in! -FL Man 🤙
My son has been going here for classes and the summer program for years and has loved every minute of it. My daughter joined in last year with the summer program and has loved it. I am very thankful to have this program in Dickinson!
Coach Tim and Ms Liz are wonderful with my kids. They're knowledgeable, patient, consistent and reliable. Never had any sanitation issues with the facility, as everything is always kept clean and disinfected. Ms Liz always greets all the kids as they walk in and coach Tim always acknowledges skills that has either been accomplished, as well as underdeveloped skills and how to reach goals. They're very hands on while teaching and my kids have both learned so much from both of them.
A super welcoming environment with very knowledgeable instructors. My son has been going for about 2 years and it has been amazing for him in so many ways! It has helped boost his confidence, helped him become more social and he has found a sport that he can do for a lifetime.
When I was working in North Dakota I was able to train there. Carlos Machado Jiu Jitsu in Dickenson is an awesome place with a very friendly atmosphere. Great people that welcomed us as family. The Owner/ Instructor teaches the exact curriculum that Master Carlos Machado himself teaches. Mr. Tim Hartranft has a passion for Jiu Jitsu and the heart of a teacher. I can honestly say he loves and cares for his students and puts his heart and soul into helping them grow in knowledge and develop. He will travel several hours to coach them and is always full of encouragement and proud of them whether they win or lose. If you want your kids to learn discipline, respect, honor, self defense , better confidence and self esteem. Then I highly recommend going and training there. And its not only for Kids, its for Adults as well. You will definitely have a life changing experience!!
My daughter has been apart of the CMJJ family for a year and a half. We signed her up the first time for summer camp and she has loved being a part of this family ever since. CMJJ has helped her grow and learn as a person, it has helped her learn discipline and focus which in turn has helped outside of CMJJ classes. After summer camp I kept her in the after school program. Both summer camp and the after school programs are the best programs I could have ever hoped for. During these programs they do so many things for the kids, from homework assignment assistance during the school year to amazing field trips during the summer. After a year of seeing how well my daughter was doing and loving the CMJJ family I decided to start taking the adult classes. I’m in love with it, it’s an amazing workout, it’s challenging for not only your body but also your mind. Being a part of CMJJ is being a part of family, coach Tim is an amazing coach, Ms. Liz is amazing with the kids, I wouldn’t choose any other martial arts school for my child or for myself.
By far, the BEST Jiu Jitsu school in the area, and the ONLY place to authorized to teach Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu. An amazing program that is geared to not only improve your Jiu Jitsu, self defense, and fitness, but also to improve yourself. Coach Tim tries to instill a "Black Belt Mentality" in every one of his students. He wants to see them succeed, not just in the mats, but in every aspect of their lives.
Coach Tim has more than 25 years of experience teaching martial arts, and it shows in how dedicated he is to improving his students.
Mrs. Liz is the backbone of the place. She is the CEO and Program Director. She takes a DEEP interest in every one of her student's life and well being. She cares for the children in her school as though they are her own family members. You can't ask for any better of an environment for your kids than that.
If you are looking for a new activity for you, or your children, you would be doing yourself a disservice by looking anywhere else but here. Go in and take a trial class. You won't regret it.
My daughter joined bjj here training under coach tim and she has learned so much. In about a years time she's already traveling to other states to participate in tournaments. Really fun, and positive structure for kids to learn from.
I cannot say enough good things about this location! My daughter joined in January (2021) when she was 5 and it's been almost 10 months. The skills she has gained, the confidence Coach Tim, Coach Bryce, and Mrs Liz give her. Just amazing!
My family can’t say enough great things about this program! Our son started, and a few months later my daughter joined. We have loved watching them grow on the mats and off! We have seen increased respect at home, and my son’s school even commented on how he is much more focused! Thank you Tim & Liz for bringing this to Dickinson!
Great place for children to learn to be humble , confident , respectful, as well as the grow ability to defend themselves (if needed!) My six year old had learned valuable lessons and it’s wonderful to see her flourish. My four year old is patiently waiting to turn five because she cannot wait to join!!
We’re glad to be apart of the CMJJ Family!
10/10 recommend!
My son is taking this class and he loves it! Learning self defense, respect, confidence and discipline. Coach Tim is really good with the kids. Highly recommend for your kids or yourself!
