Sam shackleton — Carlson gracie black belt

Every coach can claim to be 'elite' or 'world class'.

But, Sam earned his black belt through the Carlson Gracie lineage — one of the most respected names in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

As the only Carlson Gracie gym in Dartford, you're learning from a proven system built on decades of success.

That means structured coaching, safe training, and a clear path for complete beginners.

❌ You won't be thrown into chaos or forced to spar on day one.

✅ You'll learn proven techniques at your own pace from a coach who understands what it's like to walk in as a beginner.
