Welcome to Carlson Gracie Ashford
The Home of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Ashford since 2009
With deep roots in the original Carlson Gracie lineage from Brazil, our academy has proudly been Ashford’s longest-running BJJ gym. Led by Laurie Dodson, a 3rd degree black belt, we’ve built a thriving community where beginners and seasoned competitors train side by side.
