Highly recommended. One of the best decisions Ive ever made was to join FTW BJJ. Time-tested, reliable system. Great people. If I was forced to post something critical, I would say that I only wish the facility were bigger, with more parking, more space to roll. It gets really busy, but thats just more proof that its amazing.
I was in town for a week and wanted to train somewhere; found Fight to Win. I wanted to train but when I arrived it was the childrens class, so I just observed. When the adults class begin Frank made me feel the most welcome. With an open hand he invited me to the mats, provided a clean gi for me and sparred with me. It was a great experience. If you can go...GO!Now for children... it depends on what you want... if its just physical activity than get them enrolled...if you want to develop a fighter you may want to weigh other options, but thats just my half-informed opinion; again I was only there once.
I could go on and on about my experience at this place but it’s been beyond a blessing to me AND my three children. The knowledge and camaraderie you receive here is unmatched. And being a part of many different types of athletic communities personally I can say that with confidence. I promote and brag about these guys constantly and having an opportunity to share such a sport with my kids has created a unique blessing of its own that isn’t readily available in most athletic circles. I’m extremely grateful I came across this place!
Was able to drop in and train here for two nights. Very welcoming group, with good turnouts on the nights I was here. I would say very formal but still friendly atmosphere. Coach Steve is super nice. If youre in Charlotte looking to try out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you should definitely try out Fight to Win.
If I could give this place 6 stars.....I WOULD! Great instruction, calls returned in a timely manor, and everyone is incredibly welcoming. Great price too! Steve Hall is a fantastic instructor. I was injured for 6 months and they allowed me to freeze my account and pick back up where I left off when I came back. Wouldnt want to train anywhere else!
I went to this gym having never practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I absolutely fell in love with it thanks to the awesome learning conducive environment created by Steve Hall and the rest of the fight to win team. Ive been training here for a year and a half, and Im still hooked and have made many lasting friendships. The staff and Steve Hall are extremely friendly, professional, easy to work with, and accommodating. They allowed me to try a whole week for free, so I knew exactly what I was getting myself into, and they did not pressure me into any commitments! When I signed up, the membership details were straight forward, spelled out very clearly, and there were no surprises or fine print. The price was also very reasonable for the amount of training time available in the gyms schedule. Fight to win gets my highest recommendation to anyone at any skill level! You will have a great time, learn from the best, and be part of an awesome family!
I started training at Fight to Win in October and I was welcomed with open arms. Everyone is super nice. The training is great and the more experienced guys are always passing down advice. Steve Hall is a very technical instructor. Furthermore, he is a great role model to look up to.
Steve Hall and all of the instructors are amazing. The entire team has always been very welcoming and will spend time to help me better understand the techniques. I highly recommend Fight to Win to anyone wanting to learn Jiu-Jitsu and self defense!
Proud to be part of the fight to win family. Steve is an amazing instructor and has a lot of talent following him. When you join the team you join a family. staff is very welcoming and always willing to help. Highly recommended!!!
I began my journey almost nine years ago, if I’m honest, it really began much earlier in my childhood, when I didn’t have the confidence to approach the things in life I knew I was capable of. I spent almost two of these years looking for an instructor I trusted with an already broken body at the age of 31. After finding Professor Hall and FTW, I not only found a family, I found my calling. I’m now a soon to be graduate of Harvard University, with hopes of Medical School in the near future. Without the support and instruction of Professor Hall and others, I can honestly say I wouldn’t have the courage to have made it to where I currently am. I’ve been all over the globe since becoming a part of the FTW family, and no matter where I find myself, when I think of Jiu Jitsu, I immediately want to come home. ~Joshua David Brunner, Harvard University 23’
Ive had nothing but an amazing experience training with Steve and Fight to Win. Every experience Ive had has been characterized by professionalism and a nurturing community that takes care of those that walk through the doors. Those are two of the many reasons Ive continued to train as part of the team. Id venture to say that maintaining this healthy culture has been emphasized at Fight to Win more than most other businesses/gyms.
Ive been training at Fight to Win for 8 years and everything is top notch. To immediately address the concern of the woman above who seems to have had a communication error, I have never had a problem with my billing or contract. Beyond that, Steve Hall is extremely well respected from a local to international level in the jiu-jitsu community, and all-around a great family man who holds himself to the highest of standards. This an academy for everybody - if youre looking for traditional Gracie Jiu-Jitsu or just looking to get in shape, fundamental classes are taught regularly. And, if you want to compete there are no easy rolls as the saying goes. Come meet us and give it a try for yourself, you will not be disappointed :)
Outstanding school, outstanding instruction. Steve Hall is not only an amazing BJJ practitioner, he is one of those rare instructors that can break down what seems to be the most complex move into simple easy to understand concepts. I highly recommend Fight to Win and Steve Hall.
Top notch instructors at this school. Steve Hall is an excellent instructor who spends time with every individual in need including traveling to affiliate schools to teach. I cannot recommend this school enough. I have been a part of the Fight to Win family for nearly two years and I cannot speak highly enough of Steve Hall, Jon Plyler, Brad Hannah, Ben Holder and Charles Nunley. They uphold the highest of standards and quality and it resonates throughout each student I have had the pleasure of training with and getting to know.
Top quality instruction from one of the most knowledgeable and experienced Black Belts in North Carolina. Combine that with a large student population of friendly and skilled people and this is a phenomenal place to train.I live 3 hours away in Fayetteville, NC and frequently make the drive because of the quality of training here.
I highly recommend Fight to Win for all of your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu needs. The group is very welcoming. I had no combat arts experience prior to attending FTW and that did not matter. I was accepted into the group and taught many skills that can possibly help save my life one day. I appreciate the dedication that Steve Hall and the rest of the FTW team put into the group, me, and the art.
Terrific instruction. Very friendly atmosphere. The school is managed professionally in every respect. Dont hesitate to give it a try.
World class instruction. Very friendly atmosphere. The school has been a home for me on and off for the past 8 years. My experience has always been a positive one.
I had been looking for a Jiu Jitsu gym in the Charlotte area and heard great things about Steve Hall and Fight to Win. I started going here about 6 months ago and this place and the people have exceeded any and all of my expectations. I would recommend this gym to anyone interested in learning from a coach and individuals who care about your growth and are willing to go out of their way to help you out every single day. I cant think of a single bad thing to say about this gym, anyone looking to begin jiu jitsu or continue to learn - this your your place!!
This place is more than just a team mentality; we are a family. I am honored to be a part of Steve Halls Fight to Win family. If youre not a part of this, its because youve never stepped foot into the building.
Steve Hall is awesome. Fight to Win is awesome. The people there are awesome. They put up with old muscleheads like me and I love them for it.
I highly recommend Fight to Win Charlotte. Ive been training with them and Fight to Win Denver for over a year. From the experienced jiujiteiros to the leadership of Professor Steve Hall, the bjj instruction and training is top-notch. If youre looking to get in shape or sharpen your self-defense skills, you should definitely try out Fight to Win Charlotte.
Phenomenal instruction, great training at all levels, and family-friendly environment. Ive trained at several other academies across the southeast and this is my favorite!
If you want to learn how to protect yourself and your family you need jujitsu your life. If you live in Charlotte NC Right place to train at is Fight To Win Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Steve Hall is amazing coach . The whole atmosfere in this gym is really positive . Good training partners, super nice people. Incredible customer service. I am 3stripe brown belt, I know what I am talking about. Oss.
IF I COULD GIVE A ZERO STAR I WOULD - THIS BUSINESS IS TERRIBLE AND WOULDNT RECOMMEND ANYONE SIGNING UP FOR MONTHLY PROGRAM. YOU CANT CANCEL IF YOU MOVE. NO ONE ANSWERS A PHONE OR EMAIL WHEN YOU CALL TO ASK QUESTIONS, NO ONE RESPONDS AT ALL, THEY JUST KEEP TAKING YOUR MONEY. NUMEROUS EMAILS AND CALLS WERE MADE TO CANCEL AND THEY JUST IGNORE YOU TO KEEP TAKING YOUR MONEY! FRANK DOGGATT AND STEVE HALL ARE DOING A LOUSY JOB IN RESPONSE TO A BUSINESS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD HIRE A PERSON WITH A BUSINESS DEGREE TO HANDLE THE BUSINESS END OF YOUR FACILITY INSTEAD OF A MUSCLE HEAD.
I came into FTW as a purple belt from another gym and the team was very welcoming. I highly recommend Steve and the whole team.
It has been my pleasure to train with Steve Hall and the entire Fight to Win team for the past 9 years. They invest their time with each and every student. I highly recommend this team.
Steve Hall is one of the best around . Great instruction while surrounded by great people . Couldn’t ask for a better place to train . It feels good to be a part of the Fight to Win family !! Life is good !!
Steve Hall is a great teacher, he is as professional as they come and a great mentor to his team, he has always been approachable and more than willing to answer any questions you have and goes out of the way to address any problems or concerns any one has.
If you want an experience TO complain about, this is NOT the place to go. Ive been a part of the FTW family for several years now, and thats exactly what it is...F A M I L Y. These people take you in and make you their own. Ive belonged to several teams, and this is the by far the most unique, incredible experience I have been blessed enough to partake in. I HIGHLY suggest giving FTW a try, no matter what age you are. Time to start an awesome journey!!!
Hands down the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in the area. Great instruction and a very welcoming team.
Amazing place to train where you don’t just become a member of a gym, but part of a family. I have been training with Steve since 2010 and I have always felt like he was personally invested in improving every person who walks into the gym, on and off the mat.
I have very clean gym ( which is hard to find one) also very honest people managment amd teammates . Best BJJ gym in yown
