When people think of martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is not often the first thing that comes to mind. But BJJ is one of the fastest growing combat sports in the world today and one of the most respected. And if you want to be part of the BJJ and MMA community, there is no better place to start than at Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Team in Melbourne, FL.  

Founded by BJJ black belt David Sutton, our gym is an amazing training facility with a reputation for producing some of the best competitors and coaches in Central Florida. Here, you can learn everything from fundamentals to advanced technique, while competing in tournaments and working one-on-one with experienced instructors.  

At Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Team Melbourne, we are proud of our family atmosphere. Everyone here is here to learn, and there is no place for judgement. Instead, we emphasize respect and support for one another. This allows us to cultivate a healthy and open environment, where learning is prioritized over everything else. And learning doesn't stop in the gym. Our students have the opportunity and are encouraged to participate in workshops, seminars and competitions to expand their knowledge and skill sets.
