From the reviews
Temporal BJJ is a phenomenal place to learn the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, get in shape, and make friends. I’ve known and trained under the head coach, Daniel Hunt for many years and he is one of the most passionate and attentive martial arts instructors I’ve trained with in the 15 years I’ve been involved in martial…
This gym and especially the coach there is AWESOME. I started training there after i wrestled in high school and im now a blue belt, my skills in all types of grappling, judo, wrestling and especially in jiu jitsu have improved greatly because of Dan.
An amazing BJJ academy located inside of Village Fitness. They offer morning and evening classes, as well as classes for kids. I’ve worked with Dan before at the Lithonia location and it has been amazing.
Dan’s been teaching for years at his own location, very excited that he’s now offering classes in East Atlanta!
New to BJJ? Start at Temporal Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
Temporal Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy 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 Temporal Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
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.
