Parent testimonials describe children attending for many months, enjoying Jiu-Jitsu, and receiving one-on-one instruction from the instructors. One parent notes that their child trains at a Charles Gracie academy and mentions the Gracie legacy. Another parent mentions that their child attends twice a week and describes the instructor Cristiano as an instructor who is attentive to the kids and maintains class focus. A third testimonial compares the training favorably to another Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school the parent previously tried.

The academy offers a free introductory Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. For this introductory lesson, the academy provides a uniform, and families are advised to bring a bottle of water and flip-flops to wear outside the mat area. Only Charles Gracie Gis are allowed on the mat, and visitors dropping in are asked to use a visitor gi provided by the academy.
