Jiu Jitsu
Gracie Jiu Jitsu was first made famous in the early 1990s when Royce Gracie won the first ever Ultimate Fighting Championships. The general public saw for the first time, here in the United States, what the legendary Helio Gracie had been teaching his family about the ancient art of Jiu Jitsu.
Rather than use strikes (kicks, punches, etc.) to win a real fight, Jiu Jitsu teaches the practitioner to use submission holds, defensive positioning and leverage as the means to defeating even a much larger opponent regardless of one’s size.
Jiu Jitsu has become the most popular martial art on the planet in this past decade. Jiu Jitsu is very popular for all age levels, women and men alike.

Been training BJJ here for 4 months, and couldn't be happier with the staff and the other members. The facility is second to none in the area. Huge BJJ area, boxing ring, octagon, full gym, rows of bags, sauna, showers, towel service, on site massage, etc... its honestly pretty ridiculous. Love 4M.
Timur Dzhafari
One of the biggest places for martial arts in Charlotte area. Definitely a place to check out if you like contact sports.
Great gym, especially for competitive athletes.
Equipment wise it has everything you will need to up your game in the stance on the mat. The workouts are just a tad shorter then I am used to, but coaches pack some really good workouts in the given time-frame + you can go and lift weights to finish up your training session. Because the place is so big, you don't have to leave immediately after you are done with you class which is a great plus if you like to do some extra work.
