Fantastic.
I am a brown belt from all over the East Coast.
We are new to the Woodstock, GA area, and I came across this gym online. After meeting Joanie, I knew this was the place for me. Very professional, very informative, and just plain good. I will be bringing my kids here. I highly recommend.

Top quality BJJ academy. Very professional teaching staff, with great guest instructors brought in for seminars. Both the kids and adults classes are taught with professionalism and attention to detail. Would definitely recommend for both new and experienced students.

Rise Up is a wonderful place for kids and adults. Joanie and her experienced trainers are kind, empathetic, and enthusiastic about teaching Jiu Jitsu on all levels. Almost my whole family is involved: me (39), my son (10), and my daughter (5). I cannot recommend this place enough!

David is so good with the children! He makes the instruction fun and keeps them engaged for the whole class. He was very patient with our special needs child and was always very helpful. Moreover, I trained with him personally when I began my jiu jitsu journey and he was the ideal coach for me as a blank-slate. Myself and my children would still be training with him if we remained in the local area.

Coach JoJo is a great professor. She has helped me (Caylee) learn a new sport and now I am hooked. Rise Up BJJ not only teaches self-defense, but it also teaches you to have self-confidence. I love it there !!

My son has been going since this summer and he loves it! He looks forward to every class. I am happy that he has taken up bjj because he is learning so many life skills. Coach Jojo is very impressive and it is very evident she loves what she does. She is wonderful with the children and my kid adores her.
