East Athens Jiu Jitsu

"I’ve been training at EAJJ for a while now, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness and personal growth. The environment is welcoming, and the coaching is truly world-class. Coach JR is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also patient and dedicated to helping each student improve, regardless of skill level. He takes the time to break down techniques in a way that is easy to understand and always encourages us to ask questions. His passion for Jiu-Jitsu is contagious, and it shows in how invested he is in our progress. The students at EAJJ are also a huge part of what makes this place so special. Everyone is supportive and respectful, creating a team atmosphere where we push each other to be better. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced grappler, you’ll feel right at home. There’s no ego here, just a group of people who love the sport and want to see each other succeed. If you’re looking for a place to train Jiu-Jitsu, improve your fitness, and be part of an awesome community, I highly recommend EAJJ. It’s more than just a gym – it’s a family!"

"Since joining the gym in January, I’ve met some of the most down-to-earth and genuine people. The environment is incredible, and thanks to JR’s teaching, I’ve already learned so much in such a short time. If you’re thinking about getting into Jiu-Jitsu, I highly recommend this gym!"

"Excellent BJJ gym, there is no better value in Athens. Unlike other gyms in town all instruction, even for beginners, is done by an experienced black belt and new students can begin rolling immediately. There are no big egos to worry about and everyone you roll with is willing to offer you genuine advice on how to get better. The gym is also significantly cheaper than others in Athens, you're not paying extra for branding and marketing, and it doesn't require long-term contracts."

"I have only been attending class at EAJJ for a little over a week now and with no prior BJJ experience, but even in this short amount of time its easy to see the passion and care Coach JR has in seeing his students succeed. I'm excited to continue attending!"
