EXCELLENTBased on 58 reviewsLauren English2022-04-06Such a great place to learn martial arts and for kids everybody is very nice and welcomingcody cowin2022-03-25I’ve trained and competed across the US and Team Casarez is high level Jiujitsu. Tony and his coaches respect their students, protect their athletes, and teach with humility. Whether it’s your first time trying Brazilian Jiujitsu, or you’ve been on the path for awhile, you’ll be better all around by walking into Team Casarez Jiu-Jitsu and signing up to learn the art.Matt Serra2022-03-25Absolutely the best BJJ you'll find in the triangle regardless of your training intent -- whether your goals are competition, self-defense, or just to get in shape, Tony, Ferny, and everybody else here are more than willing to help you on your journey. It's rare to find an academy where the environment/culture is equally as friendly and welcoming as it is effective about the actual training involved, but Casarez BJJ does just that.Jay B2022-03-25Kids classes are outstanding; wish there were more days offered though. I tried several gyms in the area for my kids, and this one by far is the best overall experience. All of the coaches are on point. No need to compete, but if you do the coaches will be in your kids corner in tournaments.Brett Epstein2022-03-25Awesome gym. Searched for months before committing to a gym and it was definitely worth the wait. Great jiu jitsu and most importantly great people.Kylecastain2022-03-25The lead instructors Tony and Ferny are top notch. They are welcoming, open, and very easy to talk to. They are great to learn from, and have a very welcoming environment. The best choice I've made is joining their school .Zp Rb2022-03-25Top notch facility for learning jiu jitsu. I have been attending for about 1 month now, and my experience has been amazing. Having never trained a martial art in my life, I was worried about starting. Every member of the team has been extremely welcoming, with absolutely zero judgement. Everyone is willing to help, and excited to share their knowledge. Professor Tony and all of the coaches are gems of humans and run a fantastic facility. I highly recommend making this your gym.Patrick R2022-02-19A great team. The students, coaches, and professors are welcoming, knowledgeable, and humble. If you want to compete, come to this school. You want to just learn a new life skill, come to this school. If you just want a new way to workout to supplement your current regimen, come to this school. If you feel like you have trouble fitting in, come give this a try. I've never seen a new student not be welcomed.
