What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Connor DeSantis

"I highly recommend Atlas Jiu Jitsu to anyone who currently trains, wants to learn material arts, or desires to get in shape. Atlas has amazing instructors and great facilities. When you start you immediately feel a part of the team. I’m so happy to be a member & student at Atlas."

Creedence Cameron

"Atlas jiu jitsu has been home for me these past two years since graduating college and ending my wrestling career. I have found friends as well as family members i didn't even know i had!! Really (Shoutout Kevin)! This gym is full of hard working people who support each other on our good days, bad days and when we all compete. I have personally found a confidence in myself when i compete that i never knew i had. Come try a class anytime and meet the team!!"

Trevor Jensen

"I’ve trained Jiu Jitsu for about six years now and have trained at several different gyms. Training at Atlas has been an amazing experience. From day one they made me feel a part of the team. All levels of experience are represented in every class, ranging from people in their first week to people with 10 or more years of training. Everyone always has a smile on their face, and the coaches and instructors are always willing to help out and answer questions when asked. The instruction is second to none and I cannot recommend this gym enough for anyone who has been training or has any interest in training."

Joe Zakriski

"I've trained with Professor Edward "Scissorhands" Anthony for the last 14+ years. Through my years of martial arts training, I've never found a more dedicated coach and all around incredible human being. The atmosphere he promotes at Atlas is the proper balance of fun, discipline, and hard work. There's a reason I've been with the team for as long as I have. It's been almost 15 years and I'm excited to spend another 15 years with this team. I wouldn't want to train anywhere else."
