Arte Suave Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy Charlotte

Great academy! The instructors are awesome and have made a great family atmosphere. Love that they offer 3 days of 6am classes. Can't wait for my kids to be old enough for the kids class. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!

Absolutely a great experience here! I called the day of and spoke to Jimbo. Asked if I was welcome to come in and train. He and the 15-20 others welcomed me, and I had a great training session. I travel for work, and I was only in town for a few days but if you're looking for a place to train in Charlotte, full-time, then this is the place. I can't thank Jimbo and his team enough for the hospitality.

I was visiting Charlotte today and trained under Coach James Walsh for the adult class and open mat. Everyone — students, the coach, and the lady behind the counter — was incredibly friendly. I was also able to train for free because I was only visiting for a day. Coach Walsh’s class was both entertaining and informative. I’m a brown belt, but he taught me variations on the triangle choke I had never seen before. His students are also incredibly well trained, as I could tell when I rolled with them after class. The gym was incredibly clean and there appeared to be a play area for parents with small children. I would HIGHLY recommend this gym for anyone living in, around, or visiting Charlotte.

My home away from home. Whether you’re a beginner, parent looking for a family friendly gym or seasoned world champ, this gym has what you need! Everyone here is extended family with amazing coaches and lots of family friendly get togethers throughout the year. Best gym in Charlotte!

My son has been attending Arte Suave for almost two months now and I have to say this has been the best thing we could've done for him. He tells me he feels more confident and strong since he started. So far, there has not been a class where the sparring wasn't closely supervised, which is a relief. I have to mention that the coaches do correct and discipline the kids when they aren't paying attention or talking, which honestly I love. The pricing is responsible for three 1-hour classes a week. So far so good 😊 we will stay here for the foreseeable future.
