Reviews
We had an amazing experience at Odyssey Jiu Jitsu during our spring break visit. I trained with my 14-year-old, and both of us felt welcomed right away. Professor Greg was especially warm and inviting, setting the tone for a positive, supportive environment. The coaching was high-level, and the culture was respectful and encouraging! Great group of folks there. Highly recommend, we’ll definitely be back!
Was recently traveling through Atlanta and fortunate to stop by Odyssey. Great instructors and friendly staff. Tough rolls with a bunch of experienced grapplers. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a gym!
Visited from Buffalo, NY. Everyone was very welcoming and we enjoyed the instruction from Professor Mike.
Odyssey is a beautiful gym with excellent instructors and tech. I had an amazingly challenging experience. A perfect combination of high level instruction and great vibes. Highly recommend!
Dropped in to a nogi class from out of town. Friendly crew, excellent instruction, and high-level rolls - thanks for having me!
