Carlson Gracie Winter Haven: Empowering Through Discipline and Dedication
In their close-knit community, Carlson Gracie Winter Haven isn’t just a martial arts school—it’s a place where people come to challenge themselves, find their strength, and build something meaningful. This year, the dojo was honored with the 2024 Best of Florida Award, a recognition that speaks volumes about the impact they’ve had on those who walk through their doors.
The award, hosted by GuidetoFlorida.com, is a reflection of the community’s appreciation, with votes cast by students, families, and local supporters. It’s a testament to the dedication of the Carlson Gracie team and their unwavering commitment to their mission: helping individuals of all ages become their best selves through the disciplined practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
At Carlson Gracie Winter Haven, the focus is on more than just teaching techniques. From Kids and Adults BJJ to Judo and MMA, the school offers a range of classes that cater to all ages and skill levels. They also provide free summer self-defense courses, making their training accessible to those who need it most.
“Our goal has always been to create a space where people can grow—not just as martial artists, but as individuals,” says the owner. “We believe in getting a little better every day, and that philosophy extends beyond the mat.”
This approach has resonated deeply with the Winter Haven community, and it’s easy to see why. The school’s atmosphere is one of mutual respect and teamwork, where the mantra "Train as a Team, Fight as a Family" isn’t just something they say; it’s something they live by. Whether it’s through their homeschool classes or their free women’s self-defense sessions, Carlson Gracie Winter Haven is all about empowering people with the confidence and skills they need to navigate life’s challenges.
Winning the Best of Florida Award is a proud moment for the school, but it’s also a reminder of what they stand for. It’s about the connections they’ve made, the lives they’ve touched, and the community they’ve built. At the end of the day, Carlson Gracie Winter Haven is more than just a place to learn martial arts—it’s a place to grow, to connect, and to become a better version of yourself.
