True lineage , legit professors & FAMILY values. Checkmat Murrieta is the perfect place to start your journey. I walked in not knowing what to expect, but it became a huge part of me and my family’s life. Professor Ricardo Feliciano is a legend in the game and his team of coaches are all highly talented. Great for kids and adults !

My daughter is enrolled in their classes and loves it! The instructors are great with the kids and they all have an amazing time, learn lots, build confidence, and best of all... she is tired and goes to bed super easy on the nights she has BJJ.

Great place to train BJJ, they have the best professors. Pantcho is a 4th degree black belt and professor Phil is a 1st degree black belt. The kids class is awesome and is taught by so many black belts. Great environment and is very clean. If you want to train to lose weight or just to get ready to compete this is the place.

Finding a place that feels like family isn't easy, but Checkmat has become exactly that for me. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel instantly at ease. The atmosphere exudes a sense of belonging, making it more than just a gym – it's a second home.

The people here are what truly make this place special. The camaraderie among fellow practitioners and instructors creates a supportive environment where everyone is invested in each other's growth. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, you'll find yourself welcomed with open arms and treated like part of the family.

As for the jiu jitsu training, it's top-notch. The quality of instruction and attention to detail ensure that you're not just going through the motions, but truly learning and improving. What sets this place apart is that you never feel out of place, regardless of your skill level. There's a sense of inclusivity and encouragement that permeates every class, motivating you to push yourself and reach new heights.

In summary, Checkmat isn't just a jiu jitsu gym – it's a community, a sanctuary, and a second home. If you're looking for a place where you can train with quality, feel welcomed, and become part of something greater, look no further.

This is undoubtedly the best gym in the valley. With a plethora of black belts, who are eager to share their knowledge and the owner and head instructor Patcho Who is a4degree black belt. This is a special place filled with special people who go out of their way to help each other and have created a community. That is second to none.

Owner and staff are great with our kids, who are brand new to the sport of Jujitsu. Definitely recommend to families as an extra curricular activity for their kids. If my schedule permitted, they'd be here every day.

Update year and a half later. Still a great place. Very busy these days. Only my eldest continues to attend as it helps to hone his competitive nature.

From the first day I walked in for a trial class, I finally found a family outside of my home family. It’s been a while since I really felt apart of something that gave me meaning in life. I’m glad I made the decision to start. I found a healthy outlet and reconnected with my love of martial arts

Great gym that is clean and huge. Most places don't even have half the mats as checkmat Murrieta. Excellent layout with plenty of seating for parents. Great instructors that are top notch and patient with kids. Students from this gym do well at competitions which is a testament to the coaches and gym.
