"Gabriel is an amazing instructor. He’s extremely passionate about jiu jitsu. You can tell he really cares about his students and he does a great job at creating an inviting environment. If you’re in the area, beginner or experienced I’d highly recommend you to check him out!"
Tyler Lee
"An excellent place to learn self defense techniques and potentially life saving movements. At my first class, I was able to learn how to escape from positions by rolling out of them. Adults and children are welcomed and the staff are friendly. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn how to protect themselves and others!"
Last Aeoni
"I love the women's kickboxing class. I can work at my own pace as the coach divides the room into experience levels. The training feels very safe and I leave class feeling extra empowered. I love it so much I brought my niece."
David Olson
"Flew in from out of town and found this gym while I was in Cedartown. The Jiu Jitsu training class was great and it was fun to roll with them. I definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area."
