“I have been training at Checkmat Lynchburg for a little over week, and I have loved every part! The professors, coaches, and teammates provide a safe, enjoyable, and clean environment to train in. Everyone here is extremely humble and makes you feel right at home. The gym is also filled with solid competitors, so this is the perfect place for hobbyists or competitors. I have been to multiple gyms across the nation, and this is definitely one of the best. I am thrilled to be able to call Checkmat Lynchburg my new Jiu Jitsu home.“
“Master David is an awesome instructor, and he has great values for the children. Teaching honesty, loyalty as well as manners and integrity.“
“Been here watching my family for at least 13 years. Perfect place for families or people wanting a family environment. I haven't trained but the services offered don't have me questioning the 20 minute drive several times per week. Seems to be a well rounded education with lessons while standing and on the ground“

“Karate at its finest in America. I take classes with three of my kids at Hanshi Doug Perry's school in NC and we are humbled to learn from him. Most Okinawa stools but especially a shorinryu school is better than the more mainstream Japanese mainland schools because it isn't just for show or developed for teaching to mass amounts of people (as were the forms as they were filtered through Japan after 1920s). If you are starting out or looking to train an authentic form of karate, shorinryu has the heritage and the simplicity to take you all the way. I have never been to this school in particular but I would still highly recommend checking it out even if you're already studying somewhere else!!“
