We're so happy with our experience at Checkmat. Very nice facility with great coaches/professors. We love the family oriented feeling that is fostered here and recommend Checkmat Menifee to everyone. Our kids look forward to coming to class each time.

The instructors are so great with the kids. They take their time to work with each and every one. Facility is nice and clean! I highly recommend you check it out.

Bruce, the black belt instructor, is one of the best I ever worked with.

We enrolled our son (9) and daughter (12) at this academy a little over a year ago and it's…read morehonestly been one of the best decisions we've ever made. The entire team has been instrumental in our children's success, both on the training mat and at competitions. My wife and I were both multi-sport athletes, but neither of us ever practiced or competed in combat sports so while we weren't sure what to expect, we both understood what effective teaching/training looked like. From the first day, it was evident that the team was focused on developing comfort and confidence in the new students. They were both immediately assigned to an experienced student who made them feel relaxed and walked them through both the drills and lessons over the next few days. They quickly went from being a little scared of joining a class full of students with varied experience levels to requesting to attend class every day of the week. Of all the extracurricular activities they had tried, this was the one that ignited their passion the most. The professor, Tom Cronin, and the entire team of coaches do an excellent job of keeping the kids engaged by balancing expectations with both fun and recognition. They have a great sense of each student and how to motivate them to excel. They also steer clear of pitfalls we were warned of by friends who have children attending other academies, specifically promotions based on attendance as opposed to merit. At this gym, the children are evaluated on their skills and ability to execute the requisite moves. This encourages them to excel instead of just casually participating. Within 9 months they had developed enough confidence to compete and we were blown away at how well they performed against the competition from around the country. Most importantly, they had a coach prepare them the week before with one on one training and he was the one who attended the competition to coach both of them through all of their matches. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly for us, the academy doesn't just teach them BJJ, it reinforces core behaviors that we expect from our children - Respect, honor, and community. At the end of the day, we are all trying to raise the best humans we can and I can say with absolute confidence, that this academy is an integral part of that process for our children. I absolutely recommend Carlson Gracie, Temecula to anyone with any interest in Brazilian Jui-Jitsu.

Being my first year out of the Army, I have found it hard at times fitting in. So far, I may not know everyone but all the instructors and others training here have made me feel welcome and finally a part of something bigger than myself again which I really need right now. So excited for what this year brings training in BJJ.

After nearly two years of training here, I feel confident saying this is hands down one of the best…read moreplaces I've ever trained. I don't rush into reviews--I like to really experience a place first--and this gym has exceeded my expectations in every way. I originally started training here by myself, and now both of my kids train with me. They love it, and honestly, that speaks volumes. The environment is welcoming from day one. It doesn't matter if you're a doctor, lawyer, law enforcement, a mom or dad, or someone walking in off the street--once you step on the mat, everyone is treated the same. No egos, no nonsense--just a solid group of people pushing each other to be better. The professors are top-notch. They take the time to teach real jiu-jitsu the right way, breaking things down so students of all levels can grow. It's also pretty special to train alongside high-level practitioners while still feeling like part of the team. More than anything, this gym feels like family. The friendships I've made here--brothers and sisters on the mat--are ones I never would have found outside of jiu-jitsu. If you're looking for a place with great instruction, strong values, and an even stronger community, this is it.

They have tons of mat space AND their mats are dope! Overall I'm beyond happy with my experience here! Pancho was more than happy to have us there and let us know to come back and try them out for a while and I'm going to do just that. Felt like home trainIng there today and looking forward to coming back and more than likely going to make this my home gym

i started the new years probably at the lowest point in my life after going through the worst year…read morei had ever experienced in 2025, but i told myself i truly wanted to learn fighting specifically muy thai, as i was already heavily into fitness and becoming a master of my body, i started a free trial on the second of January showed up and my body was crazy tense and i was incrediby uncordinated as ive never played a sport before, I just knew weight training. fast forward two months the level of my body cordination as well as muscularity in my body has blossomed ive never felt more powerful in my entire life, going here would boost my confidence to new levels i didnt even know existed for me as i was already a confident person, i even learned stretches i didnt even know existed and became a lot more well versed in using my whole body. Glutes, hamstrings, shoulders, and traps transformed going and training here, it transformed me like nothing else has in my life, if your on the fence or have never tried fighting in your life please just go, all the coaches are extremly friendly and understand excatly where to take you from a complete beginner, and nurture you into becoming a master, id like to say they have my upmost respect and praise as im doing very well in my life as of writing this, a complete 180 as to what i went through last year. Thankyou Beau you made me fall in love with the art and beauty of mma. The journey for me described in one word is "beautiful" -Lucas

It's so fun and the coaches are super nice and coach bow and coach Charlie are super niceread more
