what They’re Saying
Hands down the best place to learn BJJ! The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, methodical, and intentional in all their teachings. This gym has a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere that caters to a diverse group of individuals. I feel so empowered after every lesson, and I attribute it to the Carlos Machado community for their relentless work towards delivering high-quality instruction. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for quality self-defense classes and a supportive community of learners.
After checking out a couple of other Jiu jitsu gyms, my experience was disappointing. But after I came to Machado Jiu Jitsu, me and my kids loved it. Armando Sanchez is the head instructor, who is well experienced, and just an all around great guy. The rest of the staff have been patient and thorough in the kids classes. The members in the adult class are really friendly. So if your looking to take classes for you and/or your children, I can’t recommend this place enough
Training at CMJJ has been an incredible experience! Under the guidance of Professor Armando, my Jiu-Jitsu game has grown tremendously over the last few months. His emphasis on fundamentals has given me a solid foundation, improving my technique and overall confidence on the mats. The coaching staff is top-notch, and the atmosphere is welcoming, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner. If you’re looking to level up your Jiu-Jitsu in a supportive and high-quality training environment, this is the place to be! Highly recommend!
