I never knew what I was getting myself into when I started training jiujitsu about a year ago. Professor Michael Allen is world class instructor. He keeps the mats and the rest of his facility VERY clean. My fiancé even started training here when the Queens Class moved to Sunday and now doing jiujitsu is a family ordeal. We love Checkmat Charlotte

I just started jiujitsu in April and the second I stepped on the mats I felt at home. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and just incredible. Coach Michael Allen really takes his time with his students and I can see how much passion he has for teaching. I walked in having no clue what to expect, I was so nervous but I left after that first day just and just couldn’t wait to get back. I could not be happier with my decision to join this program and experience all it has to offer.

i have trained with checkmat charlotte for almost 2 years enjoyed it very much the classes are in a great family like atmosphere coach michel allen has a vast knowledge of grappling and not only in jiu jitsu but also in wrestling i would recommend checkmate charlotte for anybody wanting to start jiu jitsu wants to continue their jiu jitsu or for kids

I’ve been training with Professor Michael Allen at Checkmat Charlotte for the last 1.5 years. Professor Allen is an amazing coach and mentor - he cares personally for you, but isn’t afraid to challenge you to raise your game or give your all. This school makes you a better jiu jitsu player and person.

I've been with Michael and Checkmat Charlotte for just over a year now, but have trained on and off at different locations for the past several years. I currently attend his night classes and couldnt be happier with my experience. Michael has a keen sense of detail and takes the time to work with each student on an individual level. I'm really happy with how much I've improved over the past year and I owe it to Michael and the others at Checkmat Charlotte.

My kids and I all train at Checkmat Charlotte. We love our teammates and the friendly atmosphere. Great BJJ instruction and very family friendly!
