Marcelo Mattos BJJ / Carlson Gracie Team PA - Martial arts school in Carlisle - 229 Petersburg Rd, USA

Great BJJ gym just outside Carlisle Barracks. Professor Mattos is an outstanding instructor of Brazilian jiujitsu who cares deeply about his students. He and his team made me feel like part of the family during my short 3 month stay in the area. The gym also has a large number of skilled students who can help push advanced practitioners to the next level. I learned a lot in that limited amount of time. Given the welcoming environment and the emphasis on safe (but effective) learning, this would be a great place to start BJJ for those who have never tried it before. I highly recommend.

This is a wonderful place to train and feel like part of a family. My niece and nephew love it and it has helped them so much. The best part about this place though is that you are welcomed and treated as family. I would recommend this place for jui jitsu over any other.

I have been attending this BJJ gym for just under a year and absolutely love it! I have attended BJJ gyms all over the country and this place does everything they can to meet the individual needs of each athlete! My son also attended here and developed increased skill and overall discipline! Strongly recommend!

Love the kickboxing class it's challenging rewarding and Marcelo makes sure each of his students is trained in proper techniques. He is professional, dedicated and wants only the best for and from each of his students. The kickboxing class is a great way to build endurance, strength and the ability to defend yourself So glad I found this great gym !

Professor Marcelo Mattos is probably one the highest jiu-jitsu rank we had a pleasure to have as customer. BJJFinder, we are the biggest jiu-jitsu database present in many different social media platforms today. If you want to advertise with us, we need to find out who you are first, like your business goals and legitimacy thru organization bodies who oversees the sport Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and professor Marcelo has ALL. I can say for sure that, if my friends and/or family are visiting the area, around Shark BJJ, I will definitely recommend them stop by to train. Nice facility, flexible class schedules and sizes to accommodate everyone (just check Shark BJJ Instagram, there are always class happening). Thank you professor Marcelo Mattos to trust our business as well. We will be ready to work with you again anytime you want. Best wishes.

Marcelo Mattos BJJ is an awesome jiu-jitsu gym! They run a large family program for kids of all ages, and they are very accommodating for people at all levels. From high level competitors to beginners, everyone here is improving their skill and fitness.

I joined this gym in January of 2020. As a college student, it gives me something to look forward to get my mind off school work. I only went 2-3 times a week when I first started. Almost after a year in, I now go 7-9 times a week. I have met some great friends here. Everyone pushes you to be the best you can. Professor Marcelo is an amazing instructor with an incredible amount of experience and knowledge in this discipline. I am thankful to have found this gym with an amazing team and instructor. I highly recommend

I started BJJ here with no prior grappling experience. After only 2 months of training, I have made significant growth in this sport and have increased my confidence and have made significant progress in my mental health. There are multiple training sessions each day, which allows for flexibility in schedules. The coaches and professors here are AWESOME!! They remain very patient with their students, which helps to stay encouraged and excited to learn! Most importantly, they are professionals and have mastered the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and they want to help you learn it, too! Professor Marcelo is great with kids and offers children’s classes in a variety of age groups! The kids love it. This gym is welcoming and the people who train here truly become family. The gym is very clean, so there is no need to fear unsanitary mats! I am a 20 year old college student and plan to stay close to the area just to continue training under Professor Marcelo. I can’t recommend this BJJ gym enough. Sign up for BJJ at this gym and watch yourself grow physically and mentally!
