"Jiu-Jitsu changed my life. I am so happy to have found Carlson Gracie Jiu-jitsu Academy, Guam and have met my head instructor, Gabe Baker. I am a more disciplined, controlled, and stronger human being. I will recommend the classes to anyone, especially for kids who have the advantage to start this sport when they are still you."

"My kid has been going to Carlson Gracie for over two years now. Coach Gabe and the other coaches are really great with the kids. I think it really helps with discipline and self esteem. Some people ask me about it and really don't know about jiu-jitsu. The classes will begin with some exercise drills and stretching, then on to learning techniques or sparring. There is no punching or kicking. Think of it more like wrestling with arm bars and stuff. Of course, this is quite simplified. There are boys and girls of all ages and they are having fun doing it. They have a real sense of being part of a team while building the children's respect and confidence. Ask Gabe about trying it out for a class or two."

"Carlson Gracie Gym is great! My son, daughter, and I are all training in the academy. I've really noticed the growth in my children's confidence levels and thinking fast under pressure. With the added bonus of self defense. The coaches are also very wonderful, they are a prefect mixture of being tough, patient, and encouraging. They have definitely been the driving force in my family's learning and understanding during the classes. Also, everyone in the gym is like family, which makes the experience more enjoyable. I definitely recommend Carlson Gracie Guam!"

"I'm very pleased with this Academy. My son and I visited a handful of gyms, it was not a hard decision to make when we arrived at Carlson Gracie Academy Guam. They are the most well-rounded in structure, discipline, professionalism, and team building.
As a parent of one of their students, it was important to see a balance ratio of "spotters" during rolls while the Head Coach can observe all students during instruction.
The facility is located in the central part of the island, it's clean, family atmosphere and welcoming team are nothing short of AWESOME!
I am a proud parent of a son who attends Carlson Gracie Academy Guam!"

"Love love love the coaches and the atmosphere here. Both my girls (5&4) love coming and have really learned a lot the time we have been here. You become a little family here. Not only do my girl learn techniques they also have learned discipline and confidence in themselves."

"Two months after arriving on island... we were in search of a sport/hobby for our daughters to try. We discovered Carlson Gracie Guam to be such a warm and inviting community that we have rarely missed a day.. Our time is limited on Guam, but our family is so blessed to have met the amazing instructors and people of Carlson Gracie Guam.
I have seen exponential personal growth within all 3 daughters of mine. Their confidence and self-esteem has been built up through the instruction of Gabe and his amazing team of coaches. I appreciate the discipline, work ethic and respect that has been developed through attending classes Mon-Sat for my kids and I. We have such an appreciation for Gabe and his team. I always say that it takes a “village” to raise a child and Carlson Gracie Guam Jiu Jitsu Academy is a huge part of my children’s lives here in Guam.. they’ve become ohana and we could not have been more happy to be a part of this amazing gym."
