Reviews
Six years ago I walked in as part of the first group of members, and it ended up becoming one of the most consistent, grounding parts of my life. The team here has grown into a real family the kind of place where people genuinely want to see each other improve on and off the mats. I’ve traveled around the country and trained at a lot of different BJJ gyms, and I can honestly say Atlas stands at the top. The cleanliness, the professionalism, and especially the way visitors are welcomed really set it apart. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, you’re treated with respect from day one. Grateful for the coaches, the teammates, the lessons, and the friendships built here. Proud to call this place home. Damien and Beth have been incredible in my bjj journey.
I have been training at this gym since its inception, and it has remained one of the best-kept secrets in Las Vegas for anyone seeking a true family-style environment. The culture here is defined by a membership of well-rounded, professional family men who understand that Jiu-Jitsu is a lifelong journey, not a reckless sprint. It is a rare space where you can sharpen your skills without the constant threat of an ego-driven training partner looking to make a name for themselves at the expense of your safety. While the gym offers high-intensity rounds for those who want to test their limits, the prevailing atmosphere is one of mutual respect and technical growth. What truly distinguishes this academy is the sheer variety of training partners; the depth of the room is so significant that you can train five to seven days a week and encounter a new body type and a fresh perspective every time you step on the mat. It is more than just a place to work out; it is a community where high-level training and real-world responsibilities coexist perfectly.
Did a Free two day Trial for our kid this week for Judo. I have never felt more welcomed in a gym, everyone went above and beyond to greet us and get to know us. Ash got hands on coaching and so much guidance from the instructors as well. Amazing Facility, Amazing people. 10/10
I train in Judo with Coach Chris and Coach Lukas. Thank you very much for your Judo instruction and for all the guidance and support you’ve given me at Atlas Grappling. While I travel a lot, I consider Atlas Grappling my second home gym and I'll always come by for a session whenever I can. I’ll be sure to continue my training with a focus on my positioning and grip fighting while rehabbing my knee. For anyone looking to join Judo, I highly recommend stopping by to get some training in. I’d love to see your program continue to grow!
Atlas Grappling has all the components that make a gym great: clean mats, fully equipped weight training room, safe space for all to train, motivated instructors and members who help one another get better at their craft. What makes Atlas so special is the level of dedication and care the co-owners Beth and Damien put into every single one of their members. It takes an incredible amount of selflessness and love for the sport to build the community that is Atlas Grappling - something that's difficult to find anywhere else.
Frequently Asked Questions
IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?
Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Atlas Grappling. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.
DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?
No experience necessary! Atlas Grappling welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?
For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?
Most students at Atlas Grappling train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.
DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?
Yes! We offer dedicated programs for children and teens at Atlas Grappling. Our youth classes focus on discipline, respect, confidence-building, and the fundamentals of BJJ in a safe, fun environment.
