Augusta’s Jujitsu has been a great experience for my daughter. The instructors were kind, patient, and very helpful, and they made her feel comfortable from day one. The environment is welcoming and supportive, and they really take the time to help each student learn and grow. We were very happy with the training and would absolutely recommend Augusta’s Jujitsu to other families.
Augusta Jiu Jitsu Academy has changed my life. It has brought a hobby and a second family into my life. I began in September 2025 and I have absolutely had a blast. I started off with no grappling experience whatsoever, but the people at AJJ have been patient and helpful throughout the year. I got my first stripe in December and understand I have a lot to work on. So proud to be a part of this community and the life lessons it brings!
Great instructor, great gym and great training partners. I was traveling and dropped to a random gym and was absolutely blown away by their level of knowledge, skill, and hospitality. If you’re in the area and not training here, your missing out!
If you are looking to get into Jiu-Jitsu or Muay Thai/Kickboxing then look no further. A great gym with top notch instruction and a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. Wether you’re looking to compete, fitness/self defense, or just pick up a new hobby then AJJA if the place for you. Having no experience prior to joining this gym , I am glad i chose AJJA.
Visiting Black Belt dropped in from out of town and Ryne and his guys were awesome. Super friendly, Solid rolls, just a great group of people. Great place to train if you live in Augusta and a great place to drop in and get some scraps.
