The academy and association describe a one-team philosophy that focuses on working together to improve the lives of families, students, and communities, and note that everyone is always welcome, whether a world champion or taking a first class.
Parent and visitor testimonials describe the academy as welcoming, with top quality instruction and attention from competitors and coaches, and mention noticeable progress for kids in a short period of time, attention to detail, and high standards. One testimonial states that CTA has been a positive and motivating force and describes the instructors as dedicated and respectful of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
