I dropped in for a class today, from out of town, and had a great time. Awesome staff and facilities. Training partners were great and welcoming as well. If you're looking for a place to train in Vegas or if you've ever considered trying out Jiu Jitsu, do it! This would be a great place to start.

Professor Bryan & the Carlson Gracie Team are a wonderful group of talented grapplers. If you’re looking for a gym that has a well developed foundation to build upon; this is the gym for you. C.G. gyms have a high reputation within the combat sports community, & this one lives up to its name. I have gladly recommended all my friends to this club, & to anyone who is interested in learning the art of Jiu Jitsu. These are the kind of people you’d want to have in your corner.

Great location. Fun atmosphere. Great classes for all levels and all ages. Professor Bryan is very attentive to all students. I have been to other schools where they could care less if it’s your first day or not and rarely even acknowledge your presence. Carlson Gracie LV is a perfect spot to get your kids, or yourself, involved in BJJ!
