From the reviews
Love this place. Great atmosphere for learning and developing into a better fighter. I do the fight fit and always leave exhausted and sweaty, which ALWAYS makes me feel good about myself. I followed an instructor here from ILKB when it closed because he was good at his job and explains things well.
My kids have been going to this gym for over a year now and absolutely love it. The coaches are kind and patient. It’s a family, everyone supports each other. I love how much time and energy the adults put into the younger generation success.
I've been training Brazilian jiu jitsu for a while I moved here from Califas. I am very picky when it comes to Brazilian jiu jitsu gyms I came here more than 2 years ago and I found Carlson Gracie, nothing but the best!
★★★★★ Carlson Gracie BJJ is exceptional in every way. The instructors possess a depth of knowledge that's truly unparalleled, and their dedication to ensuring each student's progress is evident in every class.
New to muay thai? Start at Carlson Gracie - Southern Headquarters
Carlson Gracie - Southern Headquarters comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Carlson Gracie - Southern Headquarters
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
