Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu: The Colony

I just happened to be in the area and asked if I could train with them. They welcomed me. The staff and students I met are a rare breed. They are down to earth and don’t try to go all out trying prove something. The knowledge that they have between the coaches is very plentiful. This is a great place to train if you are in the area. Thank you, everyone.

My boys have been attending this academy for almost 2 years and the experience has been phenomenal. They started as shy kids afraid of even the most minimal interaction with other kids, and I have seen them grow not only in their jiujitsu skills but also in their overall confidence outside the mat. They can handle stress and uncomfortableness a lot better than before. The instructors are very knowledgeable and make learning jiujitsu so fun for kids, but along the way they also teach valuable lessons such as doing the right thing, or being a good team player. It’s been such a great experience that my husband enrolled in the adult classes.

The kid’s program is excellent! Mr. Evan and Mr. Vincent have a tremendous gift at connecting with the children! My daughter tends to be shy and the classes are helping her break out a little more and as you can tell from the picture she absolutely loves it. The program helps her by instilling confidence and of course self-defense. She comes home nearly every time wanting to practice. Each morning she will wake up asking if she gets to go to class today! The adult program and classes are also excellent Mike does and superb job at walking through the techniques step by step. The environment is well suited for beginner or advanced… Really great group of people!

We absolutely love this establishment. The instructors are amazing guys and have a wealth of knowledge in the art of jujitsu. We enrolled our son about a year ago and he loves it. Their after school program is helpful and Amanda is the sweetest and toughest when she needs to be with the kids. Our son has done a tournament and absolutely is hooked. It teaches him so much about how to over come adversity and protect himself. He gets camaraderie with his classmates and the coaches. We can not recommend this place enough for you or your family. I love to tell people about this place every chance I get. Go sign up. Now.

My daughter started here in order to help with some problems at school. I love the respect they show the instructor, and I have seen a tremendous difference in her attitude. Plus she loves it!
