Absolutely love this school !!! Carlson Gracie Lakeland teaches BJJ fundamentals daily all the way up to advance levels. The staff and instructors are very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. I enjoy the BJJ , kickboxing and boot camp …

Great place all around. A multitude of qualified professional caring instructors. Rafa knows how to teach to all experience levels. Fundamentals class is taught perfectly for beginners. Every black belt here is willing to help you learn the drills correctly. There are no egos here. Come in and train.

My wife and I looked for summer programs that were open in the mist of the 2020 covid shutdown. To our surprise Carlson Gracie Lakeland was still open and in full swing. They offered a safe and clean environment for my son. Fast forward 8 months and he is still going and love grappling with his new friends. The life skills he is learning from this gym will stick with him forever! He even got me to join and start doing rolling on the Mats. I have met some amazing people at this place! They truly love this sport are super open to new comers and teaching you about BJJ!!!!! Stop in and get hooked

My wife and I belong to another gym in PA, but we visit FL a lot and wanted to find a place to train. Rafa Santos and the entire Carlson Gracie team welcomed us and treated us like family. Rafa Santos is an amazing coach and amazing person. We drive about 40 minutes to get to THIS gym because it’s worth it.

We came from a different gym after having some issues and we absolutely love it here! The kids instructors are fantastic with the kids and it's very structured and consistent.Rafa does a great job teaching the adult class and I felt very welcomed from day 1.I would highly recommend this place for kids and adults! You will not be disappointed.

I have trained off and on for 12 years and ever since I joined up here I've stayed consistent and I attribute that to Rafa Santos my 2nd degree black belt sensei, he prides himself on teaching and it shows through in his students many of us …
