The classes they run
“They take the time to teach proper technique while still keeping the class fun and engaging, which is not easy to do.”
“It has been a great addition to my son’s extracurriculars and is having such a positive impact on his life already.”
“But as I got a job that has me more and more on the road, as a woman, I wanted to know I have the best chance at protecting myself if, lord forbid, something ever happened.”
“It’s a big treat for her, especially because she gets to run and play and work one on one with other kiddos and very fun and kind coaches.”
“I've been going to Atomic Jiu Jitsu for BJJ and their Muay Thai Kickboxing classes, and I love the comradery, the exercise, and learning valuable self-defense skills.”
“As a beginner (me) it can be intimidating to go but I’ve never felt judged or criticized for being the new guy and not having any experience.”

From the reviews
I've been going here 8-9 months, its sincerely like a second family! Everyone is so helpful, encouraging, and supportive. My daughter goes with me and all the coaches always take her side when she’s twisting me up! Professor Adrian always keeps a close eye on everything during class.
Great atmosphere, attitudes, and great coaching staff. They actually take the time to break everything down and answer questions in a judgement-free zone. As a beginner (me) it can be intimidating to go but I’ve never felt judged or criticized for being the new guy and not having any experience.
I have trained in many different martial arts schools for the last 3 decades. The thing I like the most about this academy that really stands out is the structured learning. You are not thrown to the wolves. There is a clear path on which to learn.
My 7-year-old son loves attending Jiu-Jitsu at Atomic! The coaches are amazing with the kids! They’re patient, kind, and full of positive energy. They strike the perfect balance between discipline and fun, and they make every child feel confident and included.
New to BJJ? Start at Atomic Jiu-Jitsu
Atomic Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Atomic Jiu-Jitsu
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.
