Checkmat Charlotte is amazing!! The talent and passion of this school is something you notice as soon as you walk in the door! These people are amazing at the art! Amazing school! The thing is you can get that at a lot of places in the area( albeit maybe not quite the level of tenacity that Professor Allen not only expects but also demonstrates) The thing that Checkmat Charlotte has is the community! I have only been here a short time but have met soo many encouraging teammates! And teammates that come alongside and teach inspire and challenge you to treat yourself well in this art and in life.
but seriously don’t just take my word for it! Come train!!! Come join the community that I’m now so happy to be a part of!! :)
