Puerto Rico Grappling Academy

Puerto Rico Grappling Academy has been a true blessing for my daughter and me. She tried several sports before, and while she always gave it her best, nothing ever truly clicked—until jiu-jitsu. From the very first day at Puerto Rico Grappling Academy, something changed. Her excitement to train, the way she talked about class, the confidence she started to build… it really moved me. Seeing her motivated and happy made me want to try it too. At 38 years old, sore all over after every class, I still find myself looking forward to training day. Jiu-jitsu has become my escape, my therapy, a way to release the stress of daily life. And getting to share this with my daughter? That’s priceless. Coach Carlos is a beast—in the best way. More than just a great instructor, he has a real gift for connecting with each student and bringing out their best. You can tell he teaches with passion and purpose. This place isn’t just a gym. It’s a community. It’s a family. And for us, it’s been a gift

Carlos the instructor is very welcoming and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was great. I dropped in on their open mat on Saturday and had a several good rolls. Make sure you stop by!

Before visiting PRGA I visited 2 other schools and found many flaws. Day 1 being here was the best decision so far, 0 flaws. Prof Carlos is very knowledgeable, everything is clean, classmates are really good and welcoming. I will stay here permanently. The response since day one was impressive, great communication. The parking space is really comfortable. Languages are English and Spanish. Aaaaand it has A/C. 10/10 great place to visit. You are not going to find any other out there better than this.

I stopped in at this gym for a week while traveling for work. What a great gym! The gym is in a nice business center with plenty of parking. The facility is clean and air conditioned with good mat space. Professor Carlos is as legit as they come with his BJJ as well as combatives/LEO experience. I had a great time training with a friendly and safe group of regulars. I would absolutely train here if I lived in the area, and look forward to visiting again.

My son’s experience at Puerto Rico Grappling Academy has been nothing short of amazing. Since he started training here, he has gained strength, confidence, and discipline. From day one, we felt truly welcomed, and the supportive environment has allowed him to grow both physically and mentally. Coach Carlos is an incredible instructor—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in his students’ progress. Beyond just a gym, this academy has become like family to us. If you’re looking for a place that fosters both skill and character, this is it! 🤍
