Canton BJJ/Fight Sports Cherokee is a certified affiliate school under world renowned Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and grappling competitor Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu. Brazilain jiu-jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling. BJJ teaches a smaller person how to defend him/herself against a larger stronger adversary by using leverage and proper technique.
Taking the fight to the ground then allows you to apply joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. Our youth BJJ program is the best in the area. All classes are conducted in a fun and safe environment. Bullying is escalating more and more in schools around the country. BJJ can help your child handle these types of situations through ongoing training that will simulate situations they may encounter with bullies.

I was visiting from out of town and dropped in to train throughout the week. They welcomed me in like a long time friend that they haven't seen in awhile. Top notch instructor who takes his time pointing out minor details in a technique and then observers every student drilling to ensure that they each have a firm grasp of it. They are also fantastic with the kids class. 6 out of 5 stars!

I attended a funeral this morning in Macedonia, and @fightsports.cherokee is right around the corner. They have a midday Saturday open mat, so I dropped in after leaving the cemetery. I almost always have a gi in the car anyway:) I can’t say enough great things about this academy! Professor Layton Wilcox and his whole crew were extremely hospitable and absolute technicians on the mat. Thank y’all so much for making me feel welcome … it was an honor to train with you guys this morning!

Professor Layton is a down to earth, mature and professional. I've joined this team a year ago and I'm amazed at the talent that keeps joining us.
This gym is for everyone, competitive or not. Professor Layton will learn your rolling style and introduce you to multiple techniques that will benefit your style.
If you are in the area you need to get over here. If you are unsure or if you've never done any martial arts, you need to get over here. Take advantage of the trial and I'm guaranteeing you that you'll become part of our team.

Excellent atmosphere and coaching. Professor Layton is a true professional and teacher. I’ve had plenty of instruction in different fields throughout my life, however, Layton is the best coach I’ve ever had. Not only do I train here, my children do as well. I highly recommend anyone to try out this gym, you won’t regret it!!!!

This gym is one of the most welcoming gyms I have been to. As a BJJ practitioner for 5+ years, I would recommend this place especially for newer students because of the strong mentorship I have seen from the higher belts.
I also have seen several kids classes from the sidelines and I must say, they are some of the most technically sound kids I have… ever seen! Layton has done a great job in his kids classes and I would recommend this gym to any parent.
I did end up leaving because of a billing issue, but I don’t believe it to be malicious, just a misunderstanding. I know there are
