Brazilian Top team has completely changed my life from my health and weight loss to the way I can protect myself in the street. Every class I learn another technique that elevates my game. The way Professors Guto teaches makes it easy for people of all levels from beginner to advanced level students. I highly recommend anyone of any age of level to come check it out. You won’t regret it!!

Far the best Brazilian Jitsu academy in Charlotte!!! Coach Guto is truly outstanding, he is under Professor Diego Gamonal a 3X World Champion and 5X Pan American Champion so he learned and come from the very best.

This was my first experience with BJJ. Coach Guto was very welcoming and communicative, as well as his students. It was a nice, warm, and inviting environment. They focused on safety and broke down some basic moves. I highly recommend joining the Brazilian Top Team! In this one lesson, I truly saw the BJJ values of discipline, integrity, community humility and respect being displayed everywhere.
