I am a Purple belt visiting from Florida due to Hurricane Melton. Where all gyms were closed this gym here in Georgia was extremely welcoming, the professor there knows what he is talking about. Technical adults and blue belts for practice and overall great atmosphere, I put my children to train under them without hesitation. Teachers have the right amount of compassion, patience and discipline. We all know how kids sometimes misbehave, these instructors at Anchor really care. 10/10 would visit again if I ever get caught by a Hurricane again. Thanks Florida
Anchor is wonderful! I've been taking the BJJ class for a little over 6 months now and I can't seem to find anything negative about the gym, the team, or anything. Professor Mike breaks down techniques for people of all skill levels. The team is friendly and welcoming, the gym and team is top-notch. Joining has been the best choice I've made, it's boosted my confidence and grappling skills a ton.
Great school for Jiu Jitsu. Awesome coaches and professor. Professor Mike makes classes fun and always packed with knowledge.
If you're looking for a phenomenal workout that's also empowering and welcoming, look no further than Anchor! Cleanliness: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First off, the facilities are top-notch. The mats are cleaned every night, which is a huge plus – you know you're training in a clean environment. And let's not forget the bathrooms – sparkling clean! It might sound silly, but those little details make a big difference. Instruction: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ But the real heart of Anchor is the instruction. Our coach/Professor ROCK, is absolutely amazing. He has this incredible ability to break down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps. No matter your experience level, you'll feel challenged but never lost. Plus, Professor ROCK is incredibly humble. He always emphasize the journey of learning, celebrating everyone's progress, big or small. Family-Friendly: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best part, though, is the people. I've met some of the most supportive and encouraging folks at Anchor. We push each other to improve, but there's zero judgement. Everyone is there to learn and grow together. Comfort for Women: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a HUGE factor for me! The classes at Anchor have a mix of men and some women, and everyone is super respectful. There's a strong sense of community, and the instructor is great at creating a safe and comfortable space for women to learn self-defense skills. I never feel intimidated or out of place, and I've actually made some awesome female friends here! So, if you're even remotely curious about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, do yourself a favor and check out Anchor. They offer free intro classes, and trust me, you won't regret it! You'll get a great workout, learn valuable self-defense skills, and meet some amazing people along the way. I can't recommend it enough! (A picture of me and my favorite buddy training together)
Super respectful and amazing with new students. Feels like home when you walk in.
3 of my children have joined the Anchor Jiujitsu team for over a year now and we could not be happier with this gym, the professor, and coaches. As a parent who was heavily involved in sports growing up, you know you’ve found the right place when your kids desire to be and do their best, on or off the mat. Their desire to lead, to be competitive, and have a strong character rooted in integrity is cultivated by Professor Mike’s leadership. The kids love and respect him. You cannot ask for a better environment to watch your kids grow physically and mentally tough.
Our son started jiu jitsu here at Anchor two years ago and I recently started cardio kickboxing. Professor Mike and Coach Darrin are awesome teachers and we are thankful for everything we have learned along the way. We are incredibly thankful to be a part of the Anchor family.
Our family has been a part of the Anchor Jiu Jitsu family for a little over two years and it’s been one of the best decisions we made. Professor Mike, Sharon and all the coaches have truly built something special in the jiu jitsu community and we are so grateful for everything they do. The growth our son has had in these two years has been tremendous and we are so grateful for all he has learned. Coach Darrin and his kicking boxing program is top notch too! I highly recommend Anchor if you are ready to start your jiu jitsu/fitness journey. Come join our Anchor family, you won’t be disappointed!
Amazing place for my son to not only learn Jiu Jitsu but also help develop crucial values such as discipline and respect for others. A+++
Awesome BJJ gym for both youth and adults. Great team members and knowledgeable coaches. Super positive atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone interested in learning jiu jitsu.
Excellent school for Jiu Jitsu. The Coaches are all very knowledgeable and easy to approach/communicate with. Couldn’t recommend enough regardless of your age, health state, etc.
Love Anchor Jiu Jitsu! Professor Mike is super welcoming. The environment is very inviting. Would definitely recommend starting or even picking your Jiu Jitsu journey back up at Anchor!
Very welcoming and friendly environment. Classes are well structured and you always get a great workout. Highly recommended!
I can't say enough good things about this gym. The Professor and Coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly. Kids (8 & 11) are learning something every single class. I would 100% recommend!
Great place! My son loves it and has learned a lot.
I am brand new to jiu-jitsu, but wanted to try it out. A friend recommended Anchor to me and I initially put it off because I have terrible anxiety but I shouldn’t have! Professor Mike is a great instructor and extremely nice guy who makes you feel immediately welcome. The environment is very friendly, you can tell everyone wants each other to succeed. Tonight was my 3rd class and I had a great time, I can’t wait to keep going. Very happy to have found this team!
Anchor Jujitsu is an amazing place! My daughter has been attending classes for over two years and the experience has been transformative. She's made so many friends, and the gym has become like a second family to her and us. Her confidence has skyrocketed, and she's developed into a strong leader who constantly strives to improve herself and others around her. Seeing her love for the gym inspired me to join the kickboxing class myself, and it's been nothing short of incredible. Both kickboxing and jujitsu offer a fantastic workout that challenges you in the best way possible. If you're on the fence, give it a try—you won't regret it. Anchor for life!
3 years ago when I moved back down here, I asked a buddy if they knew a place I could take my kids to train martial arts. He said that Mike Rock at Anchor JiuJiutsu was the best instructor around for kids. What he didn't tell me is that we would fall in love with the gym and make it our home. Now it's a place where my kids and I train to strengthen our mind and body. I also have become a kids coach and love being a part of this team.
One day I was walking by and looked to my left and saw a gentleman diligently cleaning by himself in the gym. I opened the door and he immediately stopped what he was doing and began to talk to my son and myself about the gym. Coach Mike was very enthusiastic and passionate as he told us what is offered on a weekly basis. Since he was alone cleaning, I quickly realized how dedicated and serious he was about this gym. He invited us for a week to try out the classes for FREE to see if this is something we would enjoy participating in before we became a member. It was an instant hit! I joined right away and now am back on my journey to getting back to a healthy lifestyle. Coach Mike and Coach Darrin are lifesavers. If you are looking for a fun way to get in shape, cardio kickboxing is the way to go! Thank you Anchor Jiu Jitsu for getting me off the couch!
Professor Mike has a great youth jui jitsu program with assistant coaches on the mats during class. No matter how big or small the class is your child will get instruction/coaching from someone who knows what they’re doing. My daughter has trained with Mike for a few years and I see a huge difference in her confidence. She’s made an entire army of friends that know jui jitsu so ya know, that’s pretty cool. 11/10 would recommend. Anchor has a cardio kickboxing class the same time as the youth jui jitsu class. If you’re having trouble falling asleep at night give it a try. I promise you’ll go to sleep tired. Coach Darrin has a great schedule every class and you can push yourself at your pace. I really look forward to these classes every week. 11/10 would recommend.
We love Anchor Ju-Jitsu! Our 8 and 10 year olds can't wait to go and the rates are very competitive. I feel like the boys are getting alot from the classes. Thanks Anchor keep it up!
We signed our daughter up for jiu-jitsu and it's been amazing. The coaches were very welcoming and made sure that all the kids got to know her and they do that with all the new kids. It's been a great experience so far!
Professor Mike is a great teacher and the classes here are always productive and enjoyable. Love it.
Family Friendly! - Professor Mike has compassion for all of his students, no matter the age. Jiu jitsu and the cardio kickboxing program are an excellent way to learn self defense while getting in shape. If you’re looking to join a supportive team, look no further!!!
At Anchor you're treated like family. Professor Rock is an outstanding coach. If you are looking to try jujitsu or kick boxing drop in for a class. You'll be happy you did!
An outstanding experience and rigorous workouts, for all levels and ages! From the gym to the coaching staff, thank you! Thank you for all your hard work, passion, and professionalism you pour into my family professor Mike and coach Jared; EVERY.SINGLE.TIME….they hit the mat.

If you are looking for a gym where you will ALWAYS have an amazing work-out, please look no further. I cannot say enough positive things about Anchor. Professor Mike and the team are there for you at all times, and they will make you feel at home from day one. When I decided to visit the gym the first time, I had no experience at all with Jiu Jitsu and only a bit with kickboxing. In only a couple of months my progress has been so great , which keeps me wanting to come back every day. This gym will help you reach your fitness goals (whatever it is) and bring out the best in you in many different aspects. Please go and try your free class, I promise you will not regret it !!
I absolutely love Anchor jiu-jitsu & fitness! Professor Mike Rock is an excellent jiu-jitsu instructor. Also, the team is a great group of people! Everyone is friendly and helpful! The cardio kickboxing classes are a blast! It’s a really fun way to get in shape!
Me and my daughter started at anchor about 8 months ago. We both love it here and can’t say enough good things. Professor Mike and everyone else are so welcoming that you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in the door. So if your in the area and have been thinking about jiu jitsu or kickboxing please come and hangout with us.

Awesome gym and staff. My wife, daughter, and I train here. It's a very family oriented place. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
From the moment I stepped in the door I felt like I truly belonged and had a place at Anchor. The teaching is skillful and the other practitioners are knowledgeable and so willing to help teach. I feel honored to be a member of the Anchor team.

I cannot say enough positive things about this gym and Mike Rock. If you are thinking of enrolling you or your child somewhere, this is the place!! I have been so amazed at the kindness and support my child has received from the coaches, the parents, and her team mates. My daughter has learned so much.
Absolutely the best kids coach you’ll find! Plus, a tough and growing adult class. A great place to learn and grow in jiu jitsu. Coach Mike is an excellent leader on and off the mats! Family friendly atmosphere, full of great people 👍🏻
I'm in awe at my son's zeal for this class. Mike Rock is dedicated and this is more than Jiu jitsu.... This is family!!!! I may be joining my son in class soon!!!!

Anchor Jiu Jitsu is great place for kids and adults to learn jiu jitsu. Kids learn respect and discipline while getting exercise. Coach Mike is easy going but firm with our kids. The kids love and respect coach Mike. Adults learn proper technique at your own pace. Anchor Jiu Jitsu will push you to become a better human.
being personally training at this place is probably the best decision ive made in my life. -gage
Anchor Jui-Jitsu is where I started my journey and I have had nothing but positive reinforcement, constructive criticism, and a team of supportive individuals coached by the best in the business!
I love going and watching all of the kids and adults roll. The coaches are amazing. Very good experience and you get a family friendly vibe as soon as you walk through the door. I would highly recommend training here.
The coaches are amazing and so good with all the children. They have helped my boys so much.
Coach Mike Rock is amazing! He is kids program is one of the best around.
Mike Rock is literally the best kids coach in the state. I say that without flinching. I’ve known him for 6 years now and have trained with him at 3 different schools and he has the most charisma I’ve ever seen. He has a dynamic BJJ style and incorporates life lessons into his classes. This school is extremely competitive and does well in competition. I would personally recommend this gym to anyone I know
Love anchor! And love coach Mike! My 5 yr old attends the kids bjj classes and loves it! Coach Mike does great at keeping him focused and helping him learn more skills.
