We drove through from Timaru for the lunchtime class, Fabio the instructor recognized this and made sure to spend some extra time with us after the class had finished going over some finer details, we really appreciated this! Always a fantastic club to train at and all the coaches & members have been very friendly and inviting. Thanks guys! Nick Scott

Absolutely fantastic humble place. We travelled from Melbourne to Queenstown for a holiday and after a week our kids wanted to practice Bjj. I looked up the Carlson Gracie Bjj and asked if our kids could join a class, however no children's classes were scheduled over the school holidays. Emi and Brian asked for our contact details and within 1 hour they had organized an open mat for our kids to join the next day, with the blessing of the head Coach's Today we turned up to the class and everyone was so welcoming. The kids had a brilliant time - lots of laughter and then some serious work. Our kids are competent kids in the sport and they were tested. Special thanks to Jose', Fabio, Emi and Brian and the kids that participated in the class. You were all very generous and we have fond memories of our NZ BJJ experience! Thank you !! Hopefully we can return the favors. Ossssss

I just completed the fundamentals course and couldn't recommend it more. I thoroughly enjoyed each session and really looked forward to the next. We were welcomed with open arms from the very beginning and the vibe in the gym remained fun and relaxed throughout the 6 week course. Jose and his team are all fantastic coaches, the whole group made some great progress. It is clear to see the passion they all have for the sport, their knowledge and enthusiasm to teach is awesome. If you have every thought about starting Jiu Jitsu but haven't yet, just sign up and turn up to the first session. You won't regret it.

I've been training with these guys for 3 years now and looking forward to many more. Accessible, friendly environment, safe and supportive. Their black belts' lineage goes back all the way to the source of BJJ and you can trust the advice and coaching you get is driven by professional knowledge and experience, not by the depth of your wallet. If you're looking into learning a skill set for that will be good for self defence, general fitness, social environment and just plain fun, check Carlson Gracie Queenstown out!

BEWARE: super addictive!! Jose, Fabio and the team are the most friendly, kind and supportive instructors you can ask for. BJJ has become a ritual and the best part of my day. Professional, but never pretentious, this the academy to go to if you want to learn, challenge yourself and always have fun doing it!

An amazing gym with a top quality instructors and training partners. I would recommend open mat on Sunday to anyone passing through the area. Everyone is super welcoming and happy to meet new people. I will miss training with Jose, Fabio, and the rest of the team there and will be back there to train the next time I am in the area. Thank you!!!

Friendly people and awesome values ! All the members are helpful in the training environment, great bjj community! Instructors as Fabio go above and beyond to support the learning process. Definitely the best place to learn bjj in Queenstown

A.

Dropped by a few times while on holiday and im glad I did! Jose and Fabio are very welcoming and made me feel right at home. This school is filled with great training partners! For the ladies - lots of other women to train with including quite a few higher belts :)

I have been training at Carlson Gracie New Zealand Queenstown for almost two years now, and I couldn't have felt more welcomed into the community of Jiu Jitsu. Although my partner has been training there for the past 10 years, I had to find my own grounds and feel comfortable in an environment I was unfamiliar with. I started with the Fundamentals Course learning to get the hang of the simple and basic movements in the sport and eventually graduating out of that program and into the beginners classes. This transition was extremely important to my development and I would highly recommend taking the course if this is the first time starting BJJ. Jose with his good spirit, kindness, and patience helped to advance my Jiu Jitsu from the very beginning. Whenever I had a question to be asked he is always willing to answer, and if he can't answer during the class he will make sure to speak with you after the session is over to explain. All the staff are friendly and have their own specialties within the sport which makes this academy a very special second home. From those who are there to train daily, to those who are just passing through Queenstown, the academy is a welcoming place to everyone. Respect the dojo, be humble on the mats, and always keep learning. OSS. Thank you Jose, Renan, Fabio, Caique, Ash, Jordan, Gil, Lloyd, & Emi. We see you.

Dropped in here for the week while on a snowboarding holiday. Super welcoming gym full of great drilling and rolling partners. Classes led by Jose and Fabio were great, really attentive and engaging. Definitely bring your gi if you’re planning a Queenstown trip

T.

Absolutely love coming here. The set up is professional and very clean. Every person I've interacted at this club is always welcoming with a smile on their face, and keen to share their knowledge. The trainers are amazing and you walk away feeling like you never want to leave. Can't wait to come back and train again soon.

H.

Great value memberships, super friendly coaching team, really welcoming & knowledgeable members - it's the perfect place to build your skills & BJJ community. Regular competition & team events make this club really feel like a family, not just a gym.

M.

Fantastic place to learn and practice BJJ, very friendly instructors and training environment. Great kids classes, our son is loving it. Come down and give it a go, you will not regret it, OSS!

L.

This gym was my home for a year. Jose, the black belt / owner, is an amazing leader and practitioner. The community at this gym is very welcoming and conducive to learning. All levels are welcomed and there is a variety of classes and a growing student body. If you want to challenge yourself there is a host of high level competitors who frequent. Everyone is willing to put in some extra time with you and rarely are you pushed into payment. Ossssss.

D.

Visited from Eastside Grapplers for a week. Was welcomed throughout by everyone with the black belts Jose, Fabio and Renan being very hospitable. Any beginners thinking of starting or visitors like myself I would highly recommend popping in.

C.

If you looking for one of the best Martial art schhols in Queenstown look no further than the Carlson Gracie BJJ just past remarkables park in Frankton. Its an extremley friendly enviroment with very experienced black belt instructors. I have been a member of around 10 martial arts schools around the world and this one ranks as one of the best! Go check it out, highly recommended.

I started my Bjj journey just over three months ago at Carlson Gracie Invercargill. Since then I have been lucky enough to travel to Queenstown to train with other members of the CGNZ team, Jose always welcomes people to his gym with open arms and I walk out of a class feeling amazing! I would recommend going in and trying a class if your looking for new ways to get fit, learn some self defence and be a part of an awesome community!

B.

I had been wanting to learn Jiu Jitsu for a long time and I am so happy I joined the Carlson Gracie Gym. The team here are amazing with beginners and everyone's ego is left at the door. A big family vibe!

Hi Everyone if you’re looking for a good and safe environment to train BJJ&MMA in South Island of NZ, you should definitely contact my friend and former student Jose Gomes. He has been dedicating his lives to the study of martial arts and Brazilian jiu-jitsu and have a lot to add to your BJJ Journey. Felipe Cavalcante. Black Belt 3rd degree.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, regular classes for any level and any age from primary school students to as old as can handle a roll. If you're already training, go there. You'll feel welcome and find a training partner right away. If you're just interested in having a look and learning a bit more about bjj, go there. You'll get answers, motivation and all the information you need to get started.

Great gym for a roll or/and to enhance your knowledge of the gentle art! A great mix of styles with the different coaches, all there to transmit their experience.

Amazing friendly environment. Went there for a drop-in class and the instructor for the day, Stephen, was super hospitable and even welcomed me to the entire class. Great rolls and you can tell the people that go there are passionate and have great camaraderie. Professor gomes dropped by and was very warm and engaging, chatted for a few. Overall great experience and fun rolls. Thank you guys so much! Oss!!

Got off the plane in Queenstown 11/28 and discovered this gem of a gym 5 min from the airport. Arrived just in time for a class, borrowed a Gi and felt very welcome and right at home. Special thanks to Paula and Brent for allowing me to join. My apologies if I spelled your names wrong. OSS!
