Checkmat Corona BJJ reviews

Rated 4.8/5 across 84 Google reviews.

Joining Jimmy Tat's Checkmat Jiu Jitsu gym has been one of the best decisions I've made. Jimmy is exceptionally knowledgeable, with a deep understanding of jiu jitsu that is evident in every class. His expertise not only covers the technical aspects of the sport but also the philosophy and discipline that come with it. He has a unique ability to break down complex moves into understandable steps, making learning both accessible and enjoyable. What truly sets this gym apart, though, is the sense of community. From day one, I felt welcomed and part of a family. The camaraderie among the members is incredible. Everyone, regardless of their skill level, supports each other and fosters an environment of mutual respect and encouragement. This supportive atmosphere makes it a joy to train here, and it’s clear that Jimmy’s leadership plays a crucial role in cultivating this positive culture. In summary, if you're looking for a place to train ji
Well I really don’t know what those last 4 1 star fake reviews are all about, they must be confused about what gym they went to or they’re re just haters from the competition 🤔. It’s a little suspicious that all of those comments were post Ted about the same time🤔..... All I can say is that Checkmat Corona is different from than other gyms. Checkmat Corona has a chill & relax atmosphere, we train hard have fun and create champions in the process. The dedication and respect that the Profesor and coaches show the members is the best. They are all friendly and respectful to everyone from current members to new members and visiting Jiu-Jitsu brothers. My daughter and I have been training At Checkmat Corona for over 5 year under Jimmy Tat and we love it. I can honestly say that Checkmat Corona is my second home and all my fellow BJJ brothers and sisters are my family. I have never seen any of the staff be rude of disrespectful to anyone ever
This is a great place to train. No doubt about it. I have been training here for many years now and all I can honestly say is that Professor Jimmy have tons of experience and knowledge in jujitsu and is also a bemedalled jujitsuka competing in a lot of high level BJJ tournaments. Same is true with all the other black belt professors, all high level, teaching at Checkmat corona. They’re all very friendly and welcoming specially to newcomers. I actually came from a different academy and just transferred here since this is closest to my home. Professor J accepted and welcomed me with open arms. Such a humble and great guy and he rolls with everyone. He always lends a helping hand if you want to improve your technique and he does so by breaking down the technique down to the nitty-gritty details. I have improved my jujitsu game when I came here. All the other guys at the academy are also friendly and humble, willing to help at a moment’s no
I had never trained any martial art before, but I made a New Years resolution this year to learn one. My friend told me about Checkmat BJJ so I decided to check it out. When I called professor Jimmy was really friendly and he invited me to come to class the following week and told me I could try it out for a month for free! I was really nervous but everyone was so nice and willing to help me learn. After attending a week of classes, I decided to sign up. I’ve been going for just over 2 months now and I already feel like I’m part of the Checkmat family. I’ve made so many new friends and I’ve learned so much. Whenever I’m struggling to learn a new technique, there is always a coach there to help guide and encourage me. I’d recommend anyone who is considering jiu jitsu to come to Checkmat Corona!
I love Checkmat in Corona, they are a top notch jiu jitsu school. They run a great kids and adults program. Jimmy Tat and his wife Cindy run a very family oriented and friendly program. I felt very welcomed to their school from day one. They were extremely friendly and embraced me and my family when I first visited them 5 years ago. I felt very safe while I was there and professor Jimmy had so much knowledge and experience in jiu jitsu. You would seriously being making a mistake to train anywhere else than at checkmat in Corona. Pay him a visit and try it out for yourself.
Checkmate Corona is hands down the best gym around. Not only does it train elite athletes, it feels like a family. I have nothing but love and respect for gym that Jimmy Tat has created. I have witnessed people's lives transformed in so many different ways. There have been people that have lost weight. There have been people that have become top notch competitors from just trying the sport out with Jimmy. My personal experience with Jimmy and the gym was nothing but amazing. Whether it comes to the training or people, you can't compare what you get from here. The first time I trained at this gym I fell in love with the sport. I am a pretty big guy and I was tapped out by a 12 year old girl so I immediately saw the potential of Jiu jitsu(as well as being embarrassed 😝). On top of that, Jimmy is so enthusiastic and patient. After training for a while I began to know Jimmy personally and that he has a heart of gold. I was going through a v
