Coach Corey and Coach Rudy are very helpful
Whenever I travel, I always visit a BJJ gym. The best time is when I visit a gym, and the vibe is like my home gym. 10P Oakland! This week, while in the Atlanta area, I had the privilege to train at this gem of a gym. From the initial text message to the check-in, it was smooth and straightforward. The noon nogi class taught by Jake Jo was world-class, with the lesson of the day focusing on tripod and butterfly guard passing. I got a new tool in my toolbox, lol. The rolls were respectful and controlled as everyone matched my pace and energy. Bonus was rolling with Coach Mike G. Thanks again for the southern hospitality and a fantastic workout! I will return.
I’ve been training here for about 8 months. Amazing intro to the world of mixed martial arts. The coaches here are real, honest and respectful. They will teach you how to be dangerous and protect yourself out there.
Best community for real fighters! People who want to up their game come here! Very welcoming and great instruction.
