Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the fastest growing martial art in the world, It is a sport, self-defense system, and a fitness program. It has proven to be the most practical and effective self-defense system in the world. It relies on leverage and technique, rather than strength and size so you can defend yourself against much bigger, stronger attackers.
Our jiu jitsu program is designed for all levels and ages 13 - 99. It includes classes in the gi (the uniform) and classes without it - called 'nogi' or submission grappling. Beginners start with our "Intro to Jiu Jitsu" classes and quickly add our Drilling, regular Jiu Jitsu, and Submission Grappling classes.
Character development and personal growth that will impact every area of your child's life - for the rest of their life. Our kids program is a fun way for kids to get into fantastic shape, build self-confidence, learn respect, improve discipline, prevent bullying, and meet new friends. Improving focus and concentration helps you ignore distractions and fully engage in lessons at school, in sport, and at home.

Outstanding coaching and community! I started training at Buckhead Jiu Jitsu in my early 40s with zero prior experience wrestling or other martial arts. Sam's infectious enthusiasm, encouragement, and respect for everyone (no matter their skill level) sets the tone for entire gym. All of the coaches are super-knowledgeable and willing to answer questions, give advise, and are all around friendly and helpful. Same goes for all of the upper belts. My introduction to some of the best people I've met in Atlanta came through Buckhead Jiu Jitsu. Honestly, the community is so great, I would probably still

So far, I have enjoyed my experience at BJJ. You do not need to be a fan of the sport to practice. Contrary to popular belief, Jiu-Jitsu transcends simply being a sport. Sure, It is great exercise, but it also teaches a new discipline that has the potential to impact your life on multiple levels: physical, social, intellectual, and emotional. The せんせい and his fellow students make you feel welcome and are very willing to help you improve your technique. Overall, I would recommend giving BJJ a try. Take a chance, you might like it, and eventually come to love it.

Buckhead Jiu Jitsu is a great place to train. Sam welcomes all people and fosters a supportive environment where team members look out for each other’s development and safety. Your goals are the instructor’s goals. Some team members are highly ranked competitors. Others don’t compete, but enjoy the exercise in a positive environment. Anyone can benefit!

I have been a member at Buckhead JJ for over two years. Sam Joseph is a phenomenal coach and leader. This is great gym for all types of BJJ students, whether you are brand new or a more serious competitor. The academy is small but has an impressive record in competition. Great community, fun, focused; most importantly, legitimate instruction.

Family-oriented gym that you would not hesitate to bring your kids or guests to visit. Welcoming from the minute you enter the building. No egos, just people trying to improve themselves and get better at the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Home away from home.

If you are seeking a family friendly atmosphere that fosters friendships, fitness, and outstanding BJJ skills at all levels, then this is the place for you. Sam has a great personality, explains everything in detail, and cares about his students. The students look out for each other and support each other in their jiu-jitsu journey. The skills and pedigrees of the black belts are amazing. Iron sharpens iron here.
