Micah Goulart
"Got to visit Sōzō for an open mat today! Brennan made me feel very welcome and I was able to get in multiple rounds with talented people! If you’re in the area and either don’t train or have trained jiu jitsu before, I recommend checking out Sōzō!"
Kameron Ridley
"Had a great time dropping in at Sozo! Showed up to check the place out and was welcomed by Brennen, and hopped in for some awesome rolls. I've trained at nearly every gym in the north GA/Tennessee area. Brennen is super legit. It was an awesome and safe environment. Very technical high level Jiu-Jitsu. I'm glad we stopped by!"
Zac Beaty
"Received an invite to a Sunday open mat here @ Sozo and it turned out to be a blast! Great way to spend a weekend rolling with some high quality fellows including some familiar faces that were great see again. Brennen was very welcoming and doesn't hesitate to share his knowledge. Definitely check it out, you won't regret it."
