Unlock your greatness! We are a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy that believes in working hard, playing hard, and supporting each other through this journey. We practice jiu jitsu for self defense, fitness, and as a lifelong sport.
The owner Sam is one of the most friendly guys I’ve ever met and truly has a heart of gold. He’s always looking out for his students and has been an integral part of my understanding of BJJ. The gym is super inviting and theres very litte ego in the gym if any at all. All levels are welcome in the gym, from newbies like me all the way to advanced belts. The mat is cleaned after every class and the bathrooms seem to be cleaned every night. If you’re looking to get in shape or just try something new this is absolutely the best place to do it.

Posted 1 year agoI have been going to Buckhead Jiu-Jitsu for close to six years. The qualities that brought me to Buckhead Jiu-Jitsu have kept me there: Sam Joseph and the outstanding gym culture. Sam is a great professor. His level of jiu-jitsu knowledge and technical expertise is incredible. I appreciate how Sam is able to break down positions in an easy-to-understand manner. I learn something new every time I go. The gym culture is inviting and inclusive. Any given class on any given day will be full of individuals who are trying to improve themselves and others. You can spar with a high level of intensity or dial it down if you’d like. Sam ensures his students are thinking of the safety of their training partner. I recently took advantage of the lifetime membership option Sam offered existing members. Easiest and best decision I’ve made on my jiu-jitsu journey.

Sam, the owner and head instructor, will make time to make sure you get answers to any questions you may have about techniques, philosophies or strategies. Whether you're a competitive grappler looking to take your ground game to the highest level or a casual hobbyist, Buckhead Jiu Jitsu is a great place to train.
