Simply the best experience visiting this gym and completely worth the drive from LA or San Diego. Gene, aka BJJ Moses, is the most gracious host. We connected on Instagram after I spotted his outstanding videos for gray haired grapplers. He invited me to drop in after answering some questions on technique if I was ever in town. As fate would have it, I was just last week. On his night off, he stayed after the kids class and pretty much gave me a private lesson, inviting me afterwards to stay to join the rest of Oscar's nogi class. The gym is by far the brightest, cleanest training facility I've visited. Good location, easy to find and plenty of parking. Lots of sore spectating space. The kids class looked legit with emphasis on technique, even at the end where most gyms spiral into a game. The kids were focused and engaged to the end. The adults class covered the nogi baseball choke and everyone was kind and safe... Never felt at risk.
Our son began training here about 3 years ago. Then, our daughter joined, and soon after my husband and I decided to give it a try! Sure, there are gyms in Temecula with caring coaches but I personally feel this place is truly special. This is a safe space for your kids to learn and grow in their training. It's a place where they can be encouraged and expand their skills whether they are beginners or experienced. I've observed Professor Sal and Professor Asa teaching for years now and can confidently say that their greatest joy seems to come from playing a part (even if it's small) in building confidence in the kids they teach. As an adult student, I've had the pleasure of learning from them and the other coaches on staff. They have provided extremely helpful guidance and so much support based on my capabilities and have been in my corner for competitions- something I never dreamt of trying as a 42 year-old-lady. That speaks to the spec
We’re in town for work and brought the family on this trip. My son signed up for a FREE Week at Carlson Gracie in Wine Country. I was able to meet one of the instructors Asa; He introduced himself to us and made us feel at home. Our son has taken part in the classes for 3 nights & he’s had the greatest experience! The staff, instructors, and classmates made him feel welcomed and they didn’t take it easy on him, They put him right into the mix with the other students! Our family has learned some moves & techniques based off of what he learned in just a few days. Tonight he was instructed by Co-owner Sal Spinelli, he said Sal was awesome! We are thankful our son had something enjoyable to do, thank you for making him feel welcomed & unbreakable! 💪🏽 We highly recommend Carlson Gracie for all ages, looking for self defense taught by true professionals in all aspects!
My wife and I decided to bring our son to Carlson, Gracie Wine Country jiu-jitsu. We didn’t know what to expect, but our goal was to build more strength in our son along with more confidence. We have been training now for just over one year and the change in our son have been remarkable. We couldn’t be more happy with the results. The professors and coaches at Carlson Gracie Wine Country jiu-jitsu are top-notch and amazing with children. I would definitely recommend everyone to take advantage of the one week, free training and experience what could possibly be a life changing moment for you and your kids.
I feel like a broken record. I started by bringing my son here back in 2021 when he was 6. I sat on the bench and watched (doing my best not to interfere from the sidelines) the professors, Asa Russell and Sal Spinelli, always do a great job of teaching the kids, being mindful of their attention spans, and making sure they have fun while learning. A year later, in 2022 my 4 year old daughter, myself, and my wife all signed up too. What we thought would just be a great way for us all to learn self defense, and get some physical exercise has turned into so much more. We have been blown away by the BJJ community, the friendships, we’ve made, the physical and mental therapy Jiu Jitsu provides. Carlson Gracie Wine Country has become a part of our extended family.
