Nice place. David introduced me to some Filipinos! Er, arts! Oh, uh, Filipino martial arts! That's the one. He's knowledgeable and patient, even with the chronically uncoordinated (not me, of course! I'm extremely coordinaterble). Iris is very responsive and will help you get started. It's a lot of fun!

I came over from the UK to train at the Atlanta Martial Arts Center, and from the start of my trip Coaches Iris and Dennis made sure I felt really welcome and at home right from when I walked in! They're both incredibly skilled instructors across multiple martial arts - but beyond that, they brought a real friendliness and great inclusive energy to their class sessions together. Couldn't have asked for any better teachers for my first BJJ lessons! If you're looking for quality martial arts training across different systems and styles in a very supportive environment, this will be the place for you. I'm looking forward to coming back!

Atlanta Martial Arts Center is an excellent place to train. The programs they offer and the coaches teaching them are incredible. To say “highly recommended” would be an understatement.

I've been training at the school for about 7 years now and it's absolutely one of the best parts of every week. I've been training in martial arts for most of my life and have personally found BJJ to be one of the most useful in terms of practical application as it focuses on body mechanics instead of brute strength. On top of that everyone who trains here is extreamly respectful as this is a close contact sport and cares about each other. A class doesn't go by where someone doesn't laugh and you can see how much everyone enjoys there time here. It's not just the students either, all the instructors are incredibly skilled and truly care about every one of os getting the best BJJ education we can.

I loved my experience here unfortunately the drive was too much coming from the city but Iris and her team made sure i felt right at home. The place is clean, with a full bathroom with supplies for the ladies. Everyone was nice and willing to stop what they were doing to help you so u wouldnt look lost. If i move closer this is a place I would choose to for jui jitsu. Thanks Iris!! :)

I couldn't imagine a better place to come as a complete beginner, man or woman. I can give no higher compliment than that they know exactly when to be serious and when to have fun. There are facilities closer to my home now, but I wouldn't go anywhere else to train as long as I have a choice
