Ive been training at UCS- Carlson Gracie Claremont for over two years now and can say that i have grown so much since starting this journey. Jamar, the head instructor has been great and is always there whenever you need to ask a question about a move or transition when training. Whether it's jiujitsu, Muay Thai, MMA, wrestling, or even fitness in general he is always there to help you grow and push you. would definitely recommend training here.

UCS Carlson Gracie Claremont is a gem. I’ve only been training bjj here but UCS offers Muay Thai and MMA classes as well. Professor Jamar puts much thought and energy into his curriculum which helps students put together pieces of the jiu jitsu puzzle more smoothly than just showing students random moves each class.Everyone training here has been very friendly and helpful. UCS also offers wrestling and Muay Thai for kids too. My son loves wrestling class, great coaches for the kids. Anyone who is near Upland, Ontario, La Verne, San Dimas or Claremont, I would definitely recommend this school to train at.

Great Gym. My girl are in the kids Muay Thai and wrestling class. As young women I wanted them to know how to defend themselves and also have confidence in themselves. Week after week I see their progress along with all the other kids and I couldn’t be happier. The girls look forward to seeing their gym mates and coaches every week. Thank you Coach Johnny, Jamal, Aaron and Jamar.

Of all the gyms I've trained around upland and ontario regions, UCS in Claremont is easily the best. The Muay Thai and juijutsu classes are challenging and engaging. They offer a variety of disciplines including MMA and kids classes. Coach Jamar creates a friendly but engaging atmosphere for everyone. It is a great way to learn displace and achieve any fitness goals.

For about 2 years I've been training at UCS Carlson Gracie Claremont. I initially came in to be trained in boxing, Muay Thai and kickboxing. However professor Jamar pushed me to try training in Jiujitsu as well. Super happy that he did, The team here is all like family and welcomes anyone. I quickly grew a lot of friends and in my short time of training a few times a week I earned 2 stripes on my white belt.If you really want to learn from one of the best professors around I encourage you to come join the team. My overall fitness endurance has increased tremendously since joining.

I've been training at UCS Carlson gracie for over a year. I do jiujitsu, muay Thai, kickboxing, MMA, and wrestling. I used to do boxing, but all these spots are so much more fun!Jamar is a great instructor, and he will make you good at whatever sport you choose. Thanks to Jamar (the coach) and the team, I just won my first BJJ tournament. The classes are also good for general fitness and weight loss. Everyone who trains there is super friendly, and they make training fun. Anyone who is local to Claremont, La Vern, San Dimas, Ontario, or Upland should CHECK IT OUT. They also have kid's classes!

I’ve been training here at UCS for the past year now. Jamar (our instructor) pays great attention to detail and makes sure we understand what we’re doing and when to apply it. I train BJJ and Muay Thai here and not only have I gained new skills but have also become part of the Carlson Gracie family. Everyone here are amazing training partners. We look out for each other and compete at the highest level. Jamar is not only an incredible instructor, but also a great mentor and friend. This is the gym to be at if you’re looking to improve or learn BJJ, Muay Thai, wrestling and MMA.

I have been to this gym in Claremont for 8 months now, and this is a good place that teaches discipline and humility at the same time. The head professor, Jamar, teaches kids wrestling, grappling, jiu jitsu, Muay Thai and mma. I def recommend taking any of these classes! You'll get a lot out of it! If you are someone who's is getting serious about being healthy or just competitive on the arts, this is the gym, this is the place to Go!!!!
