Atlanta Martial Arts Center

“On December 2nd I flew into Atlanta airport for the 3 day event of living mechanics BJJ. I was not happy with the lack of service I got from one of the Instructors and the fact that Sifu Baker defended the actions of his instructor was disappointing to say the least. He told me that in the future I should stick with the same partner I started with. Not a total disappointment I did learn some new things and the even did challenge me. This was my first event there and will be my last. I don’t think you should come to this event by yourself because the support just isn’t there and you may or may not have a training partner. Got a partner on day 1 who was coughing a lot, more on that later. Second day I switched up my partner because he was coughing. I ended up testing positive for Covid after I left. I asked one of the Instructors whom worked there for help I think his name was Dennis and he was busy having his conversation and told me to work in with the others. Some scenarios there were 2 person drills so if you were the 3rd guy you wouldn’t get the training. Not acceptable if you’re flying in out of town and paying thousands of dollars just to be there. I certainly hope in the future they treat Brazilians, veterans, firefighters and police officers better in the future I did all 3 in the military and in the civilian world.”

“I’ve been attending Jiu Jitsu classes at AMAC since February and absolutely love it. The coaches and students are very welcoming, supportive and go out of their way to give individual attention and coaching to students. It can be very intimidating to try a new sport like Jiu Jitsu but AMAC makes it a comfortable and easy process.”

“Awesome academy! A very knowledgeable staff that is extremely welcoming to everyone. Alan Baker is very talented and an excellent teacher with great passion for martial arts. His knowledge and passion is something that has clearly passed and been spread to all the instructors and students. The academy is always super clean and well maintained. I would give it 6 stars if possible.”

“Taking jiu-jitsu has been a fantastic experience! I've been going twice a week for almost ten months now, and I look forward to it every week! I'd never done anything more athletic than dance and gymnastics as a kid, so this was a big leap for me as I'm now a 35 year old mother of two with absolutely no background in any martial arts. Iris, along with all of the other coaches, fosters an amazing (and fun) environment where they make you feel comfortable asking questions. I love the emphasis on not just learning how to perform well in class, but how to be a great training partner as well. My oldest son (7 years old), just started in the new kids kickboxing class and he really enjoyed it! There's something for everyone, no matter if you're an energetic 7 year old, or if you're his 35 year old mother who wishes she had half his energy.”

“A fantastic place to train. They offer a large variety of different martial arts to suit your need. Alan Baker has been training martial arts pretty much his whole life and has a wealth of knowledge and experience to pass on to you. All of AMAC’s coaches/staff are super friendly and knowledgeable as well. They are always ready to help you out anyway they can. The facility is very clean and located right off of 575. AMAC is the best around and I invite anyone that is even slightly interested in self defense or martial arts to stop by and try it out, you will not be disappointed.”
