Experiencia fantástica: Desde hace años tenía un miedo subconsciente al conflicto que me estaba limitando en diferentes áreas de mi vida, esto me hacía sentir muy mal, debido a que siempre evité los conflictos cotidianos que se me presentaban y como resultado, me cargaba de emociones negativas como rabia, impotencia y miedo que me dejaban sin energía para vivir mi vida plenamente. La solución llegó, cuando en abril de este año, tomé la decisión de buscar un arte marcial para solucionar mi problema, ya no quería sentirme más así en mi vida. Quería un arte marcial en donde no hubiese golpes, solo “agarres” y sumisiones, al buscar en internet y aprender un poco sobre Artes Marciales Mixtas, encontré el Jiujitsu como mi elección y luego confiando en mi intuición elegí CheckMat Colombia como la academia en donde quería aprenderlo. El resultado: Al salir de la primera clase con el maestro Alessandro Nagaishi sentí que la seguridad había vuelto a mí, me sentí flotar de alegría de regreso a mi casa al sentir que mi miedo se estaba desvaneciendo, y que había adquirido una herramienta que me permitía tener calma en los momentos difíciles de mi vida, sin perder el control de mis emociones. Para aquellos que estén pasando por una situación similar a la mía, quiero recomendar ampliamente que vivan la experiencia de entrenar Jiujitsu con el maestro y su academia, en dónde encontraran un profesional con más de 25 años de experiencia, apasionado por lo que hace, un ambiente sano, respetuoso y sobre todo un gran crecimiento personal. Gracias Maestro y Gracias CheckMat Colombia.

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente nivel técnico y desempeño deportivo. Gente amable y el profesor Alessandro es mejor maestro.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a great gym in a nice neighborhood. Professor Alessandro is very welcoming, and there are plenty of good training partners. I would recommend to anyone interested in training while traveling to Medellín.

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding training in a clean, welcoming environment. Checkmat Jiujitsu is one of the best Jiujitsu gyms in Medellin. In fact it is one of the best Jiujitsu gyms in Colombia! The coaches and the lineage of the gym are world class competitors, and they have the medals to prove it. My wife and I dropped in for a class and the instruction was outstanding. We picked up some valuable skills that immediately improved our game. If you have the opportunity to stop in to train at Checkmat Jiujitsu, definitely do it; you won’t be disappointed. The neighborhood is full of great restaurants as well. You may want to spend some additional time before or after class. Professor Alessandro went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. He took an interest in our experience, and stayed after class to chat with us, share stories, gave us tips on places to visit in Medellin, and even gave us a little treat after class.

Experiencia fantástica: Estuve de visita en Medellín y andaba buscando un gimnasio para practicar Jiu Jitsu durante mis vacaciones. El profesor Alessandro y su gimnasio me recibieron con manos abiertas. El Jiu Jitsu es de la mas alta calidad, al igual que sus estudiantes. Definitivamente me sentí como en casa. No se vayan sin probar el Acaí de Alessandro . Alto profesionalismo y ambiente amigable.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice neighborhood, very clean and nice gym and bathroom, great instruction in Spanish and English, very welcoming professor and training partners. I had a great time and would definitely recommend this place. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: I dropped in as a tourist, knowing no Spanish, and I was immediately welcomed as if it was my home gym. I'd recommend this club to any local or tourist traveling through. Ossss

Experiencia fantástica: the best martial arts academy in Colombia

Experiencia fantástica: I have been to quite some schools during my travels and this one is among the best. + Coach Alessandro competes at the highest level and teaches just as well. He finds a good balance between fundamentals and more advanced techniques. Rolling with him he challenges you just at the right point so that you can learn. Besides he is always smiling and still enjoying the art after all the years + Classes are taught in spanish mainly, but people try their best to translate as well. I say it is possible to follow even without advanced spanish + The school is well located in a safe, quiet neighbourhood, easy to reach and very clean + Prices are fair + A gi can be borrowed if you come in from somewhere else + Very nice people: friendly, open-minded, respectful when rolling, a good mixture of skill level from serious competitors to relaxed older folks who just want to keep fit +- It is really getting hot in there on some days. I don't expect AirCon but the school could use some extra fans I highly recommend the place!

Experiencia fantástica: El Maestro Nagaishi es una persona excepcional. He pasado por muchas escuelas de BJJ durante mis viajes. En Checkmat más que cualquiera, siempre me he sentido en casa, y el maestro me ha hecho sentir en familia. Volveré cada vez que este en Medellin y espero que la escuela continúe con éxito durante muchos años mas.

Experiencia fantástica: Questa scuola di jiu jitsu è molto buona, pulita, spaziosa, il maestro ha molta esperienza a livello competitivo e la classe è interessante, incluso un riscaldamento fatto come si deve lo consiglio a tutti.

Experiencia fantástica: Es un muy buen lugar para aprender de un arte marcial colaborativa y disciplinada.

Experiencia fantástica: La mejor academia de BJJ de la ciudad, además de que es la única avalada en Colombia por la IBJJF (International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation). El profesor Nagaishi tiene una excelente metodología de enseñanza, además de que es muy segura e incluyente (hayas tenido o no experiencia antes en esta arte marcial aprenderás mucho en cada clase). 100% recomendado.

Experiencia fantástica: This is an excellent place to begin or continue your jiu-jitsu journey. I was welcomed here with open arms and it turned out to be the biggest highlight of my trip to Medellín. There are training partners of all levels and you can expect to learn a lot and have fun. The head coach, Alessandro Nagaishi is a very high level black belt competitor. He speaks several languages and will make you better at jiu-jitsu. Seriously, this place is the best, don't miss out!

Experiencia fantástica: I trained here for a few months and had a great time. Unfortunately, I had to stop because an old shoulder injury kept coming back. Alessandro is literally one of the top ranked competitors in the world and you can tell he has a passion for sharing his knowledge. Everyone is super inviting, which was a big deal for me since I've never done BJJ before. If you're in town for a month or living here, have trained before or want to train for the first time, I suggest checking this place out.

Experiencia fantástica: La mejor academia de Bjj en Medellín con un profesor excelente, si realmente quieres subir tu nivel esta es la academia, además de que siempre la encontrarán muy limpia y con muy buena vibra

Experiencia fantástica: Gran experiencia compartir con el profesor Alessandro y Margarita, es muy dedicado con cada uno de los estudiantes y en su metodología se palpa la verdadera escencia del BJJ. Los calentamientos en el tatame son muy completos y el tiempo para entrenar técnicas es excelente. Todas las clases al final tienen sparring. Es una academia muy amigable, los compañeros suelen alentarse unos a otros. El profesor durante las clases suele enseñar palabras en japonés lo cual me parece muy enriquecedor. Definitavamente Checkmat Colombia siempre será mi primera opción!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have trained at almost every academy in Medellin so far and I am a really big fan of the head instructor at this gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent gym! Very welcoming people, great technics from one of top ranked IBJJF Black Belt competitors. I love that the classes are 1.5hours, not just 1hour like in other places. Nice and clean gym with great infrastructure, you can borrow a Gi if you need and enjoy great Acai Bowls after training :-)

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente metodologia y muy buen lugar para aprender el arte milenario del jiu jitsu brasileño Osss !!!

Experiencia fantástica: Familia! es lo que sientes al entrenar en esta academia, respeto por los demás compañeros, el mestre enseña las técnicas y esta pendiente de cada uno de sus estudiantes, sabe explotar las capacidades de cada quien en el tatami.

Experiencia fantástica: Excelente!

Experiencia fantástica: I travel the world and love to get some training in wherever I am visiting and Checkmat Colombia is one of my favorite places in the world. If I lived in Medellin, this would be my main school. Alessandro truly cares about your development as a grappler. Alessandro is attentive, welcoming, and dedicated. What I really loved about this school, was the focus on conditioning which I've always believed makes true competitors throughout any discipline. Alessandro is a successful competitor and you can see why...and I am convinced he will develop successful competitors. I would love to have Alessandro as my main instructor and I will be coming back to visit Checkmat Colombia whenever i am in Medellin. Lo recomiendo!
