From the reviews
Not a typical gym… sure, there is jiu jitsu, striking, women’s kickboxing, and a kids program, but everyone has that… Ascension is unique because it is a family with open arms (Yes, sometimes those arms will choke you but they teach you how to tap in the first class).
Professor Junior and Tommy are extraordinary teachers. They go to extra lengths to ensure everybody is learning and most importantly enjoying Jiu-Jitsu. The culture there is the best, everybody is family, and everyone is respectful.
This place is a hidden gem! The owner, Junior, is a seasoned MMA athlete, having competed in the UFC and other professional organizations. His experience translates into quality real-world training for the members. The assistant coaches are fantastic as well.
Me and my two kids love this place. We train Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing and both classes are amazing. Professor Júnior and his team welcomed us to the family and the level of learning is superb. Kickboxing Classes with Duda are also wonderful, a great workout for the whole body.
Your first BJJ class at Ascension MMA Cumming
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
