Excellent class as always. The instructors know how to “read the room”, deliver an applicable lesson, and ensure all levels attending the class are able to practice and apply lesson with various opponents. All while making the gym feel like your second home.

I stoped into Athens BJJ while on a work trip. Can't say enough good things about Athens Jiu Jitsu. Ben, Jamie, and all the staff were very welcoming and the people I rolled with couldn't have been nicer.
