After having my daughter, I was eager to get onto the mats and start my journey of BJJ. I thought it would be difficult to decide what studio’s to try out, given there are so many amazing ones in the area, but once I came to CheckMat Charlotte, I knew there was no other place I’d rather be! After playing Volleyball for well over a decade, I thought my athleticism and conditioning desires had run their course, but boy was I wrong! I learned immediately that BJJ is a sport of high competitiveness, it’s fast-paced, strategic, and it immediately builds your endurance/stamina. For such a challenging sport, you need to have amazing coaches and mentors by your side, and that does not run short here at Checkmat Charlotte. There’s no question that Professors Michael, Eddie, and Dan along with Jillian are the best coaches I’ve had in my athletic career. I am amazingly grateful to be able to learn from them daily, and in return for my efforts, I not only get to excel at the sport I love, but they never run short in giving me confidence, patience, and kindness.
As for the community, it doesn’t get better than this! Coming from someone who grew up without a family, I can wholeheartedly say I am fulfilled and blessed to have the one I gained at Checkmat. Daily laughs, rolls, lessons, and support are the things I most look forward to during my day, and I’m so glad that I came to Checkmat!
