What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Cameron Poole
"I dropped into Digg City while passing through Athens recently and had a blast training with everyone in the gym. Michele was teaching the night I was there. She was very welcoming and a ton of fun to roll with. The guys in class that evening happened to be all white belts, but all everyone was super friendly, respectful and had solid jiujitsu. I’ll definitely be stopping again in the future."
Steve Flis
"As a blackbelt who travels for work, Digg City is like a home away from home. The culture Mike and Michelle are building here is something special. If you're brand new or a serious martial artist do yourself a favor and stop by. Absolutely the best choice in Athens."
Tanner Onesko
"Digg city is such an amazing gym. Any level from 1st day to black belt can enter the room and feel welcomed. Our entire family belongs to the gym!"
Joe Harmon
"Awesome gym, awesome people. The mat space is really nice, big and clean. Was there for the grand opening and met the owners Michael and Michelle, and they were really great. Can tell they are really great teachers. Excited for the future of Digg City!"
