In town a couple days for a wedding from England which broke up my training schedule. Found Vision as the most local gym to try and get some rolls in, and wowee am I pleased! Charlie welcomed me into class as a visitor, showed concise technique and allowed newer students to ask questions to fill holes in their game. Rolled at the end, everyone was inquisitive- kind- and radiating excitement for jiu jitsu. Lots of technical flowy and fun rolls and not a single meathead detected trying to rip my jet lagged head off my shoulders driven by ego.However people trully show you who they are by way of action; and Charlie is a class act. Gave me a T-shirt, and offered to drive me where im staying in a cold snap when my ride was in question.Im sure the wedding will be great, but just getting to do the thing I love with people who love it too in another country has absolutley made my trip.Highly advise any newcomers to get stuck in with Vision- I've been on mats in one way or another for 17 years. I promise, he will help facilitate any goals you seek.If I'm ever back on this side of the pond... I'll be stopping in. Oss.

Awesome place! My son had been training at Vision BJJ Farmington Hills for two years, and it’s been an incredible experience! Coach Charlie is highly skilled and genuinely cares about helping students improve. The atmosphere is welcoming, and my son has learned so much. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, this gym offers top-notch training and a great community. Highly recommend!

We are loving our homeschool class that Coach Charlie offers our kids. We are impressed watching the kids progress week after week. Coach Charlie is patient, encouraging and works hard to ensure the kids are successful.

Very welcoming environment/people and great jiu jitsu training. I would recommend to anyone, whether they’ve been training for years or if it’s their first class ever.

Absolutely love the gym and the atmosphere. The instructor is very informative and understanding, and you will no doubt find a love for BJJ here. I’m only a month or two in and it’s the highlight of my week!

Charlie was very polite, friendly, and professional. He never tried to pressure me into joining, and was helpful when asked for help!

There is a lot I could say about Coach Charley and his gym because it is the place to be. I have been practicing BJJ for around 16 years. I have been in and out of great gyms and poor gyms. But I have never seen the dedication from a coach that coach Charley shows. The classes, the techniques, the way he teaches adults and kids has a very meticulous attention to detail. You can tell he is always studying outside of the gym to make his own teachings and skills better. He will never stop learning. He will never stop growing and it is reflected in the gym. The gym is great to! A friendly place to call home. Like I said I have walked out of alot of gyms. This is because of poor environment and ego filled training partners. This does not exist here. This is a safe place to train, grow and have fun. Also you can find a home away from home here. Everyone is so nice. If I still lived in Farmingtion, I would be training here regularly.

Charlie Markowitz leads Vision BJJ Farmington Hills with exceptional skill and dedication. His extensive experience and commitment to teaching shine through in every class. The gym fosters a supportive and collaborative environment, with a strong emphasis on technique and practical application. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or new to Jiu-Jitsu, you’ll find excellent guidance and a community-focused atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking to advance their skills or start their journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.​

A very friendly and inviting gym that was filled with very helpful people that were excited to help a new beginner. Highly recommend!

I loved taking my first BJJ class with Charlie at Vision. Very professional and supportive for newcomers of all levels. Awesome environment , highly recommend!

I’d like to highly recommend Vision Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Farmington Hills. As a Paramedic/Firefighter, this class has already done great things to keep me in fighting shape for the job as well as in life. Charlie is a phenomenal instructor and makes things fun during class. Everyone has been more than welcoming. For example, no one has to go out of their way to give me tips or show me stuff as the new guy. However, I am constantly getting good feedback which is helping me grow in the sport. If you are looking for a good workout and to learn something new pop on in. -Drew

Giving this review as a person with no prior experience in Brazilian JIU-JITSU or wrestling. I signed up for my first class and was welcomed by Charlie the Instructor who was very knowledgeable and friendly. Everyone in the class were friendly and were welcoming. The first hour of the class consisted of learning various submission techniques followed by an open mat at the end of the class. Will definitely come back and recommend anyone that wants to learn.

After trying a couple locations near me, Vision BJJ has proven to be the best! Coach Charlie is an elite teacher with in depth knowledge of the sport that can only come from years of competitive experience, along with the patience to teach people of all skill levels. The classmates at Vision are also exceptional, providing a fun yet competitive group that can both guide new comers as well as prepare people for competition. On top of it all, I’m blind and both Charlie and the group have welcomed me with open arms, assist me when needed while holding nothing back once we’re on the mats. I couldn’t recommend Vision BJJ enough and will be training here for years to come.

Great school! Good people. Great learning environment. Charlie is a helpful instructor! Looking forward to lots of learning and growing in his classes.

I have nothing but good things to say about Vision Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Farmington Hills and Charlie the instructor. Three of my children (11, 9, & 6) attend classes twice a week. They started close to a year ago and really enjoy it. I recently started training with Charlie as well and it has been a great experience. He is a great instructor and has provided me with a lot of motivation.
