At the risk of being hyperbolic, Professor Henrique Carepa, his wife Coach Fernanda, and Professor
At the risk of being hyperbolic, Professor Henrique Carepa, his wife Coach Fernanda, and Professor Vandi Souza changed my life. I was new to Jiu Jitsu. 45 years old. Out of shape. Dumpy. Mildly depressed. Over-worked. My wife and I thought BJJ would be great for our children (6 and 10 at the time). After a couple of months of practicing, my son came home and asked if he could try something on me. I agreed and immediately regretted it. My 6 year old son legitimately made me choke. The next day I went with him to class at Gracie Barra Charleston and spoke with Professor Carepa. I told him the story and he laughed. He encouraged me to try the class. Reluctantly, I agreed. What happened next was unexpected. Professors Carepa and Souza are incredibly good at their craft. They are patient. Invested. Engaging. Funny. In addition to elite instruction, Professor Carepa has created an amazing culture. Since joining, I have developed some of the best friendships I have ever had. This is a family gym. Kids. Adults. Men. Women. BJJ is hard. It’s grueling. It’s exhausting. It’s frustrating. And it’s the best mental health exercise I have ever done. It’s also the most rewarding activity I have done. I would highly recommend this gym. Even if you are not interested in BJJ, come by and talk to Professor Henrique. He will make you laugh. Hope to see you on the mat.
