Great martial arts teachers, my two sons have been going for over a year and have learned much, highly recommend!

This is an outstanding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy. Coaches Chris and Mylene are not only clearly high-level practitioners, but also some of the most approachable and personable coaches we've encountered. They strike the perfect balance between technical excellence and approachability. Classes are well-structured, instruction is clear and detailed, and students of all experience levels are given thoughtful attention. Beginners are made to feel comfortable, while more advanced students are consistently challenged. It's obvious this gym takes pride in building both strong technique and a strong community. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for quality BJJ training in a welcoming environment! read more

*IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SIGN THIS IS IT. I train here been coming everyday for a little over 2 months now. I never done any type of martial arts before. I don't know how other bjj gyms are but what I can tell you about here in Coach Chris and his wife Coach Mylene are super great people and as individuals. They really do set the mood in the gym and it's always very positive and humble and overall great experience. The other students and higher ranking belts really capture the essence of their teachings very well. As a new white belt everyone does such a great job in making me feel welcomed and always humble and super welcome to answer all my frustrations and questions. All the more experienced/higher ranks/coaches remind me of my limitations of being new but it's never in a degrading way if that makes sense. This bjj gym is just overall humble positive but also kicks your butt but in a good way and honestly, everyone has made me feel like such a great person which is something we all need to constantly uplift one another and this place is pure happiness and bliss with the greatest of people I'm super proud to train and learn from.

Phenomenal Jiu Jitsu studio. Coach Mylene and Coach Chris are highly personable and do a phenomenal job of explaining the art of Jiu Jitsu. They take time to explain in great detail every technique they teach. In addition to being a great Jiu Jitsu coach, Coach Chris is a bit of a Korean BBQ expert. This gym is full of friendly and highly skilled Jiu Jitsu practitioners that are constantly helping each other improve. I recommend this gym to everyone that is interested in learning and improving in Jiu Jitsu. read more

I've trained under Chris and Mylene for a good while now and not only has my jiu jitsu improved but my overall attitude with how I deal with things has improved. I may have learned very direct combat skills in the Marine corps but I've definitely discovered something amazing at this gym: you can only control yourself- whether that's physically or mentally. You'll catch yourself seeing and meeting multiple black belts throughout the country stopping by to visit the gym and it's quite surreal to see the skill level. My daughter has trained here since she was 3 and absolutely loves going to class. Top notch instructors and good friendly people make this place to train and call a home gym. read more

It took nearly a year for me and my brothers to find the perfect gym that offers everything that we need. Chris Engle BJJ is very unique in many ways: * Takedown and Passing Unlike many gyms, CEBJJ is very considerate when it comes to takedowns and guard pulling. They teach judo and wrestling based takedowns that are realistic and effective. They will teach you the best takedowns that fit your personality and are easy to execute. Though they value takedowns, they are also open to the art of guard pulling. Regardless of whether you are a guard player or passer, they will make sure that you have a well rounded game. * Team Support The whole team has a tight bond and supports each other. Everyone will make sure that no one is left out. You will feel that you belong in the gym. Coach Chris and Mylene are very supportive of their students. They are willing to travel out of town just to coach a single student. * Women's BJJ It's very hard to find a gym who has a strong female model, let alone find a place where women can train comfortably. Coach Mylene is the founder of Rowdy Rollers Ladies Open Mat where everyone regardless of your gym can come together to share the same passion. She brought all women together and built a strong community. Coach Chris and Mylene are very non-political. All they want is for everyone to train and have fun. * Kids Class We have a six year old niece who is very shy and socially awkward but Coach Chris and Mylene are very friendly that my niece signed herself up. They are very patient and make sure that all kids understand the concepts that they are teaching. They use engaging metaphors to help kids remember the techniques. And they keep the environment very safe. * Mats CEBJJ has the best mats we have ever trained to. You will enjoy drilling takedowns all day without worrying about waking up sore tomorrow. They have super soft mats that absorbs and distributes impact. It's a must for everyone to try these mats! Do yourself a favor and meet Coach Chris and Mylene. They are super friendly and very knowledgeable. read more

Awesome owners & awesome gym! Our two children (10 & 6) are taking jiujitsu here and have loved it from day one. We were hesitant to try jiujitsu at first because our children aren't very aggressive, in fact our 6 year old is a dainty girl. But they both LOVE it. It's all thanks to the coaches/owners: Chris and Mylene. They're knowledgeable yet not intimidating. They're like the role models & mentors your kids need. Aside from jiujitsu they put emphasis on morals & values and being GOOD people outside the gym. They're the best! There's no other place to learn jiujitsu! read more

One of the perks of being a member of the Cascao Family of BJJ schools is you can go to the other schools for free. Having heard great things about Chris Engle BJJ I decided to stop by and check it out. The first thing that hit me was how damn friendly everyone was. I had barely cleared the lobby when people were introducing themselves to me and I even got a hug. Also pretty stunning was I saw people's cell phones just laying around and folded clumps of money with them. This gym is so trustworthy people just leave their money lying around! I mean, who is going to steal from a BJJ school, but still. This excellent positive attitude continued through rolling, and if there were egos in the room I certainly didn't see them. The instruction is superb. Chris is very technical and provides excellent detail and advice through everything. One thing I really enjoyed is he was giving me advice on which techniques worked best for my body type which is super helpful as big dudes often have different optimal strategies than smaller dudes. Another great thing Chris did was incorporate little anecdotes from his own journey to help understand the development process. This school is apparently the official/unofficial headquarters for women's BJJ in Vegas and it really shows. Not only was a large percentage of the class female, but Mylene was basically a free bonus instructor for the class. If you haven't heard of Mylene she's a bit of a local legend in BJJ, and she was friendly and helpful as well. If I was a woman I suspect I would feel extremely comfortable and welcome training here. Not a lot of negatives to a school this good, class was so full mat space was at a premium, but with education this good and a very solid community you're going to fill up the mat space pretty quick. Also may have been the New Years Rush (I visited the first Tues in 2017). Highly highly recommended. read more

I absolutely enjoy coming to the gym!! Both prof. Chris and Mylene Engle have created such a strong base of knowledge in jiu Jitsu while creating a good FAMILY environment. My journey to even showing up to class at 1st was difficult because of my personal scdl, and even finding the courage and strength to continue to physically and mentally like it. BUT both, Chris and Mylene have never given up on me (and ALL their students) They don't make the process/progress easy or hard. They simply continue to support and understand everyone's individual journey, in order for me/us to build our very own individual jiu Jitsu experience. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to challenge yourself in so many ways!! You won't regret it! read more

I dropped in a couple of months ago. What I really liked was that the class included people, from all belt levels (white belt to black belt). I got great instruction and got to roll with a black belt. Not all Jiu Jitsu gyms have black belts teaching classes and I really liked that. I am definitely coming back. read more

From the moment I arrived to Chris Engle's gym I felt welcomed. Chris and his wife Mylene were very friendly and walked me through the exercises by answering my questions and teaching me the correct form. All of the other students were very helpful and friendly as well. I never felt rushed or like I didn't belong. I am returning tomorrow. I highly recommend this gym. read more

My siblings and I have innate social sense when going to a new place. We can easily tell how hostile or friendly a gym is. After trying most of the gyms in Vegas, we can unbiasedly say that Chris Engle BJJ is the best gym in town based on 5 C's criterion. 1.) Collegiality This is the most friendliest gym we have ever been to. Everyone is very respectful and welcoming. They will treat you like you have known each other for a long time. Regardless of how friendly everyone is, when class starts, everyone is laser focus when learning the material. The atmosphere is so friendly, you will not feel like you are about to try something life-changing. 2.) Cleanliness Chris Engle BJJ is very particular when it comes to hygiene. Possibly the cleanest gym we've ever been to. Everyone is sensitive and aware of their own belongings and body. The mats are always clean before and after. There are no rules tho, so you will not feel like you have to follow something, everyone just have the same manners which anyone will naturally imitate. 3.) Curriculum There are gyms that has legendary competitors as instructors but not necessarily a good teacher. Well you get both in the gym, Coach Chris and Mylene are both great competitors and teachers, together with Coach Brandon. They explain the Kinesiology, Biomechanics and Physics of Jiujitsu in simple terms. They modify your game based on your body type and personality which we thought were very empathetic and unique. Since most of the guys are competitors, you get the most realistic grappling learning and experience. 4.) Challenge After dozens of trial and error in different gyms, we have finally come to a conclusion that Chris Engle BJJ was the best fit to our needs. As competitors, it is very important for us that we have continuous growth and that we are challenged everyday. Everyone are highly-talented and competitive, but no egos. Just seriously but friendly rolling. The gym will give you the challenge that is sufficient to your previous experience. And they surely will push you and make sure you grow in techniques and in character. 5.) Cost The last but not the least, Cost. We all know how expensive BJJ can be. But Chris Engle BJJ is so affordable. Doing Jiujitsu with two other siblings are very costly, but the membership is very affordable. When we signed up, we were asked how long we want the membership to be (for 6 months or for a year) which I answered "forever." You will never want to leave the gym once you try it. Considering the experience and knowledge, you get more than what you will pay for. Of course, there's no other way to find out if my experience will be the same as yours, but to try it. You should visit the gym and find out what it's about. When was the last time you tried something new? read more

Amazing bjj gym. Highly recommend it. Trainers are really technical and great at communicating. There are variety of belt lvl and size in this gym. Great place to gain some kickass bjj skills. Will be visiting every time I'm in town! Osssss! read more

Love this gym! Both owners/instructors Chris and Mylene are very knowledgeable of the sport. A very detail oriented class and constant support for all belts. They take the time to keep the white belts up to speed with everyone else too. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn about a good sport, get in a great workout or learn some self-defense. Chris and Mylene really do want their students to learn the art of Brazilian jujitsu. read more

I've had the privilege to workout at this gym. Very spacious and kid friendly. Mylene was kind enough to help me shed some pounds and work on some circuit training. It's a great environment and you can't go wrong with picking Chris Engle BJJ. read more

I started my Jiu Jitsu journey after securing job in law enforcement. I figured BJJ would help me in situations that become physical. The whole word of mouth thing took play and I found myself stepping on the mat for the first time at Chris Engle BJJ a year and a half ago. I was in contact with Mylene a week before I started, so my first day she let me borrow a gi for my free week. Needless to say I fell in love with the art. Due to my hectic training schedule for work and my at the time 1 year old son I was not able to train as much as I would have liked and actually took months off at a time. The anxiety and doubts kicked in every time I was able to make class. Am I still welcome? Am I a bad student? Do they understand why I can't train as much? Etc.... Let me assure you that every single time I would go back to class I felt nothing but encouragement and friendship. It took about a year for my training schedule to become what I wanted. Now I train a few times a week with the most amazing people I've ever met and have competed twice. I have never come across an ego or someone that made me feel like a measly little white belt. I'm part of a frmaily (friendship + family) that continues to grow. Chris is an amazing coach and person, you can hear the passion when he talks and teaches. Chris and Mylene KNOW their students, because they take the time to. They will know you as a person, your jiu jitsu strengths and weaknesses and most important your goals and they cater to that. Chris and Mylene are great coaches, great people and great role models. No matter if you want to do jiu jitsu as a hobby, for self-defense or to compete and challenge yourself, this gym will help you become a better you. My husband started training not long after me and it's created such an awesome dynamic in our marriage and we can't wait for our son to start as well. So if you are looking for skilled, passionate, caring, and straight badass coaches to teach you BJJ then Chris Engle BJJ is the place to be. read more

I enrolled my daughter about 4months ago. I can't help but adore they way Coach Chris and Coach Mylene interact with kids. So as soon as Mylene informed me about the little kids class. I enrolled my youngest, 4, into class. My daughter wasn't taken by it at first but literally a month ago decided she wanted to! I'm super active and it was hard sitting on the side line to watch, so i joined as well and I can't help but love the amount of commitment the Cascao family has and I drive well across town almost everyday for Chris Engle's BJJ class. read more

I've always wanted to try BJJ, but was always so intimidated to get started. I've heard so many great things about this school, so my wife and I decided to give it a shot and it's surpassed all of our expectations. I've felt so welcome since day 1 and that was a big deal for me. Coaches Chris and Mylene have created a great FAMILY environment that I'm very proud to be a part of. The coaches are very detailed in their techniques and are able to break down the moves step by step in order for us to really understand not only how to execute the move, but why and when it should be used. They are very patient and understanding and I've received nothing but positive encouragement. It's not always the easiest making it to class whether it be because of work, my kid, or my own personal anxieties and insecurities, but they support and understand everyone's individual Jiu Jitsu journey. I've grown in more ways than I've ever expected thanks to Jiu Jitsu, my coaches, and my fellow colleagues. If you've ever wanted to try BJJ, learn self defense, challenge yourself, or just want to get in a great workout, I highly, highly recommend coming to this gym. You won't regret it, and maybe it'll change your life the way it changed mine! read more
