“My 5 year old son cannot get enough of The Ridge BJJ! He not only learns the technique, but some discipline and respect along the way too. I see this being a forever thing! I am able to use the gym while my son is in class which is a bonus. The atmosphere feels like home after the first meet. Can’t wait to see how far we go at the ridge! Instructor Kathy makes sure all the littles learn while having fun, and I don’t think it gets any better than that!”

“The Ridge BJJ is a great environment for training. The instructors are some the best. They will give you their best. My son has trained BJJ for 10 years and a lot of these folks have been beside most of those years. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.”

“The Ridge is a fantastic jiu jitsu and fitness gym hybrid! Strength training and jiu-jitsu in one place compliment each other wonderfully. There is a nice selection of gym equipment, and the mats for BJJ are great to train on. Professor Kathy and Coach Sarah are exceptional!! They create a fun, positive and safe environment for men and women to train together, and they're both extremely knowledgeable about BJJ. I go out of my way to drive 45min to Ellijay and train at The Ridge, and I always have the best time and the best work out 🤘”

“The Ridge has such a welcoming environment! Whether it is your first time on the mat or your 100th you can't go wrong with The Ridge. Professor Kathy is very knowledgeable and dedicated to helping her students not only learn but to thrive on the mats! I started doing jiu-jitsu because of my daughter. While they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, Professor Kathy has done a great job of teaching this middle aged, two left feet dog some new tricks! Months ago I would have never imagined I could throw a person over my shoulder, yet here we are! Learning is fun at The Ridge!”

“The Ridge is a super welcoming and fun environment. Professor Kathy is super knowledgeable on how to apply jiu jitsu not only to competition but real life situations too. I've trained for 4 years but never would have stuck with it if it wasn't for Profesor Kathy and The Ridge”
