I've been a Guest, Patron, and a friend of this Fine Jiu-jitsu Academy for over 10 years (since being a white belt). From the 1st experience I was welcomed with open arms, mentored, and nourished with Jiu-jitsu knowledge and kindness from Professor Kenny. This gym is one of my favorites in this part of the country and I would recommend it Highly to anyone looking to take a journey of Self Improvement and Lifestyle development. You will gain so much in this Academy and community. They deserve 6 stars !!
Kenny Kim Academy creates an atmosphere for anyone looking to evolve to their next level in this human experience. This community welcomes you with open arms, no matter your size, athletic level, or age. If you think you can’t do it, they’ll show you that you can. More so, Kenny Kim is a man that stands by his values and integrity so you know that translates into his academy. I had a bit of a life event over the holidays and came headstrong at Kenny with feedback and instead of meeting me with combativeness, he met me with empathy and understanding and was receptive to everything I said. That’s hard to find these days, whether BJJ or real life. Integrity means the world these days so go somewhere you know that will have that established in their fundamental core values. If you read this far, just try the free class. You’ll know if you fit in immediately.
Kenny is an amazing professor and runs a truly special gym. The atmosphere is so welcoming and upbeat that you almost forget you're practicing killing each other!
Made my first drop in today at Kenny Kim Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and thr experience was awesome. I'm currently traveling for work and finding a spot to get mat time in is never easy. Luckily for me, this establishment not only welcomed me with an awesome environment but also a very lax and comfortable vibe and culture! A super friendly shop with awesome ammenuties, that tenders to both families and competitors. It's a must-visit location for sure for anyone traveling in the Atlanta area in Georgia!!! 👍👍👍
Kenny’s is truly the place to be! Prior to joining, I trained at another gym, but transitioning to Kenny’s has been a decision I don’t regret. The atmosphere is exceptional, and the community is both supportive and welcoming. From my first visit, any initial anxiety I had quickly disappeared thanks to the friendly and inclusive environment. Having explored other gyms before finding Kenny’s, it became clear that this was the right place for me to train and grow.
If you are looking for BJJ coaches and community members that supports you and your families journey, this is it. Coaches know your name, they greet you with smile, and then they push you to be the best version of yourself on the mat.
Both of my kids and I train at Kenny Kim... we LOVE it. I cannot sing enough praises for Professor Gazzy with the kids, as well as the other coaches and professors who assist. My son and my daughter have not only grown in skill, but their confidence has skyrocketed! As a female, and a bit of a light-weight, I also cannot sing enough praises for how welcoming and comfortable the environment is for me. There are many women to train with who are wonderful partners for me, but the guys are also so helpful and wonderful partners too! As a white belt, I appreciate the higher belts who truly take the time and care to help me in my journey. And as a plus, now in my mid-40's, I have not had this flexibility and mobility since I was in my 20's!
Kenny Kim Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy fosters an atmosphere for anyone looking to grow physically, mentally, and emotionally. The instructors are not just skilled in teaching excellent techniques but also instill discipline and focus on character development. They emphasize building a strong foundation in both martial arts and life, which has been incredibly impactful for me and I’m grateful for finding this community. This isn’t just a place to train—it’s a community that motivates you to create a more positive, well-rounded lifestyle. You’ll feel welcomed and supported here regardless of background or experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to better themselves through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!
I wish I could fit all the great things I have to say about this gym into one review. Excellent instructors, wonderful training partners, absolutely love this place! Whether you are interested in beginning your Jiu Jitsu journey or you’re a practitioner with plenty of experience, I highly recommend!
I went in for my free introductory class in March and loved it! Everyone was kind, welcoming, and there to train. I got the feeling of joining a team that is there to make everyone better. The professor teaching the class explained the moves very clearly. He encouraged me since I’m a total newbie and he coached the higher belts to make their techniques more effective. I felt very safe learning. I definitely recommend Kenny Kim Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for beginners and for anyone looking to train with people who care!
I've been to a lot of gyms but none like this one. The level of training is top notch, the staff is approachable and accommodating, the community is welcoming and supportive. The coaches take what they do seriously and take their students progress just as seriously. I look forward to every class. I always come away with a new technique, idea, or outlook I've never considered before. I can't say enough good things about the kid's program. My son has learned valuable life skills and gained incredible confidence in himself since starting. And I'm beyond happy to have a constant reason to spend time with him on something we both enjoy. It's a privilege to be able to test and improve myself in a safe, fun, and family friendly environment. I don't want to gush too hard but it's been an inspiring journey here. I can't wait to see what's next.
I’ve had the opportunity to drop in and train at several gyms across the southeast and can honestly say that the professors, students and facility are second to none. Kenny and his crew have truly created an environment where anyone can flourish and enjoy the sport. I plan on training here until they close the doors or kick me out! 10/10 Would recommend.
Always a blast when I can drop in and train here when I’m working in the area! Phenomenal instruction, really fun high level rolls and extremely welcoming, friendly, and clean environment. Can’t say enough good things about the gym and I’ve been blessed to be able to train all over the US the last 20 years.
Fantastic experience! Whether you're looking to switch gyms, just getting started, or you wanna dust your belt off and get back into it, you won't find a better jiu jitsu community!
I absolutely love this gym! I am so sad I had to move states because nothing compares to the environment Kenny has created here. Great place to train whether you’re competing or simply looking for a hobby. My favourite part about the gym is how you will feel like family. This gym will always have a special place in my heart. - Caitlynn Abusaid (Had to use my sister’s google account because mine was acting funny.)
Great place, friendly staff
Great place to train. I like to pop in whenever I’m feeling n town. Fantastic room, very accommodating.
Our kids have been training at Kenny Kim for almost 2 years. The coaches and professors are excellent and are incredible with the kids. They have instilled in them so much confidence and work ethic. Stoked to have them be part of the Marietta community.
Kenny Kim’s open mat on Thursdays are INSANELY BENEFICIAL! This was my first open mat experience and I will happily return for further learning & growth. Community building is a vibe, all the belts no matter rank, are super helpful and you can guarantee a healthy tool to leave with! My greatest advice given thus far is to simply “SHOW UP”. This is wants BJJ is about!
Very friendly, chill environment.
Great school. Stopped in for an open mat roll on the 4th and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. The rolls were great and technical. I even got to roll with prof Kim and I can tell his skill and teachings are transferred to his students. Will definitely be coming to train here whenever I’m in Atlanta.
Kenny Kim BJJ was great. Great techniques and great rolls. Thank you for having me.
I have been training Jiu-Jitsu for 7 years now. I travel around the country competing and going into different gyms and I can confidently say that this is the best place I have ever trained at.
Extremely hospitable gym had a great time here everyone was letting me work and not rolling with ego can’t recommend this place enough!!!
Had a chance to train at Kenny’s while I was visiting from Florida. Awesome environment with great people.
Had a great time at this school! 6am class was great with a good showing of guys, around 20-25 showed up. All very respectful. Very clean and I’m back for more, even as an out of towner!
I was visiting from out of town and decided to stop in. Everyone was very welcoming and nice. I will come here every time I am in town. Thanks for the hospitality.
Great environment. Welcoming and no egos. Professor Kim was very professional and provided clear detailed instructions. I highly recommend this gym for all levels.
I trained there what seems a lifetime ago now, Professor Kenny Kim is an excellent Sensei and I wish I was still living In Georgia so I can train under him. Unfortunately, I moved away from Georgia a long time ago. If you are looking for a great Sensei to train under, I would definitely recommend training under Professor Kenny Kim. This picture is how I remember him, strength and power.
Anytime I'm in town I always come to Kenny's gym. Everyone is always super welcoming and makes me feel at home!
Started training here May 2022 with no grappling or wrestling experience. Very welcoming and clean environment. Top notch instruction from Professor Kenny and all the coaches, something to take away from each of their style. There is a variety of training partners to meet any of your goals whether competition, self defense, or hobbyist. Definitely friends that turned into family on and off the mat. 10/10 would recommend. 🤙🏽
Staff is phenomenal and really great with the kids. My son has been going for a few years at this point. They really take an approach that teaches, cares, respects and pushes the kids to be their best. It’s done wonders for my son. Gazzy is the bees knees!
Great environment, great academy all around!
Great place to train if you’re a beginner or coming from another Academy. Great atmosphere, everyone is very helpful and upbeat! If you’re looking to start your bjj journey Kenny Kim Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is the place to get it it rolling!
I came by on a recent visit and this place is super awesome and unique! Extremely welcoming and also technical. It's a beautiful mixture of competition and a deep warmth that allows people to challenge themselves on a high level and also do some good self discovery along the way. I'll definitely be back!
Great place to learn and train!
My daughter has been training under professor Kenny and Professor Gazi for two years and not only have I seen her grow in her skill level but her confidence and self esteem have skyrocketed! We are so grateful to have found Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and instructors who care so much about the families who train there!
I started BJJ in 1995 in Brazil and have been on and off all these years. As a part of life and so many moves I was able to experience many different gyms. As a brown belt, I am grateful for all of them and each that got me to where I am. but I can honestly say that I have never had one that was complete in all aspects. If atmosphere was great maybe lacked funds for a beautiful environment, if it was beautiful it maybe lacked higher belts, etc. This gym has it all; high technical level, very clean, structured, professional with regards to the program, and very nice peers making you feel at home the first day. And difficult to find nowadays you will find professor and founder Kenny present. Highly recommend!!! Ossss
I came to KKBJJ with no grappling experience of any kind. All of the instructors talented, encouraging, and patient. It has now been 10 years and I have found the most enjoyable exercise I have ever experienced. Not only is it awesome physically, but it is an amazing mental workout as Jiu Jitsu is a sport of mind as much as it is the body. I have made great friends and I am hooked for life. I intend to train under Professor Kenny for the rest of my days. I can’t recommend this academy enough.
My wife and I had the opportunity to attend a seminar at his school and were very warmly welcomed and received . We had a great time. I was even asked to speak for his vlog series, Mat Made. I was very flattered. I had heard of Kenny's good reputation through mutual friends in the BJJ community, and I was not disappointed. I look forward to visiting his school some time again in the future.
This is a great Facility for beginners all the way up to advance levels. It's very family oriented. Plus it has a competition team if you want to compete. In my opinion? This is one of the best academies in Cobb County, Georgia. There's all size training partners for everyone. Big, small male or female. Don't take my word, you should come by see if this is a good fit for you and yours. We've got lots of showers for men and women for after training. The matter cleaned after every class, and there's always a good turn out of people on the matts
Amazing gym, great coaching, and the people are great. I would strongly recommend this gym to anyone!
The environment was amazing, the gym is incredible and everyone was so kind and welcoming! 10/10 would recommend to a friend!
An amazing facility, great artwork on the walls, high level instruction, and the setup in the bathroom with the showers are a bonus for me. Especially after tough training with the availability to do so goes a long way. 10/10 school for me!
Kenny Kim BJJ is the best academy in metro Atlanta. It’s a clean modern facility with the best culture. Come train with us.
Trained together in Munich/Germany. Exzellent Professor . Nice Person
From the moment I started training here, I was blown away by the quality of instruction and the patience of the coaches. The community that Prof Kenny has built is inviting, friendly, and encourages growth both on and off the mats. The kids' program is second to none, and I'll trust Prof Gazzy to train my own children when they're old enough.
Best academy in the US! Not to mention the quality of training and support at every level, but once you are a part of KKBJJ you feel part of a family on and off the Mat.
KK BJJ is an incredibly welcoming school that is interested in the teaching of high level BJJ to both Adults and Children. Everyone on the mat is there to get better and no matter what class you attend, you will find an incredible depth of knowledge being taught and shared.
Amazing learning environment filled with world class teachers, welcoming students and a very flexible class schedule. By Far the Best BJJ Academy in GA
From the day I started iv been shown nothing but love from kenny and the bjj family. The classes made me more confident the upper belts have a lot of patience and kenny is an outstanding teacher , he is very detailed in his technique. Iv learned a lot in my first few days and will continue to learn. I will definitely bring my kids here to train .
Love this place, and the people are like my new family !
Kenny Kim is one of the best in the country and there is a reason he is known for that. I asked multiple people where to go and that was the common theme. He takes his time to ensure you fundamentally understand every move and there are no “politics” in his place. All of the professors are on the same page, excellent instructors and highly trained. He also has varying schedules and multiple level classes to fit everyone’s needs. KKBJJ is Best of the best
My son loves Kenny Kim’s Brazilian Ju Jitsu. He learned a lot and it helped him with wrestling. I highly recommend this place if you or your family want to learn martial arts.
Great place to train for all Belt levels. Knowledgeable brown and black belt coaches to help you get better.

Kenny Kim BJJ is a fantastic place for BJJ l, fitness, and community. I drive past another BJJ gym closer to my house specifically to come to Kenny's. It's where I discovered my new favorite hobby and I plan to come for as long as it's still open
Awesome atmosphere, professor KK rocks, and amazing training partners. After training at 2 different gyms I've finally found a forever home where I get the push and direction I've been looking for. Kk's is the place to be!
I started at KK’s about 4 months ago after taking a hiatus due to covid and having a baby and I have been so happy with my choice! Being a woman bjj can be an incredibly intimidating environment and some downright unwelcoming but this is not the case at kk’s. The Instructors are all very knowledgeable and approachable. Everyone has been very welcoming to me. Thanks Professor Kenny!
Love it here.
Best academy around! Top notch instruction and excellent facility!
Trained here while visiting family in the area and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Great coaching, great atmosphere, and CLEAN! Mats are packed but Kenny and his staff do a great job of making sure everyone is getting attention in the room to get better. Can't wait to train here full time.
Nothing but positive experience. The gym is very nice and the training/instruction is first class. The positive experience also come from the other students. It’s a great learning environment!
Just started here today, absolutely love the gym and its energy. the beginners classes are a lot of fun and i look foward to being able to train more!
Professor Kenny Kim and the team at Kenny Kim Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are top notch. My daughter has trained there for years and has learned so much. Special thanks to Professor Gazzy Parman who teaches the younger students. All around amazing place!
Professor Kenny is very professional, knowledgeable and provides a fun environment while teaching. If you have the opportunity to train or attend a clinic I highly recommend it.
Awesome place to train bjj! Love the open mats on Sunday, always very welcoming and good vibes. And a top notch facility!!
I knew as soon as I walked through the door at Kenny Kim BJJ that I wanted to be a part of this academy. Having no experience at all can be quite intimidating when engaging in a sport like BJJ. However, from day 1 there has always been students and teachers willing to coach you through your journey. Professor Kenny keeps a very clean facility that has always made me feel safe. See you on the mat!
I started at Kenny's in September of last year and it has been a truly impact full experience. I have trained at a number of gyms and with some of the top instructors in the world. Kenny's instruction and coaching is top-tier for sure. The school environment is a great balance of welcoming and challenging that allows students on either end of the spectrum to thrive. I would absolutely recommend to a friend and have many times.
My experiences with this gym have been overwhelmingly positive. Professor Kim is an excellent teacher and all the other instructors are top notch. The community is very welcoming and the gym itself is clean, well kept and functional for the class sizes. Highly recommend checking it out if you are interested in Jiu Jitsu!
Guys been doing this stuff since before highschool
Incredible gym, I had some nerves coming in at first. However, those nerves went out the door with the warm welcome and helpfulness by the instructors as well as the students. If anyone is looking for not only a great workout for your body and mind but a great community, you should not hesitate to stop by and be greeted with a warm welcome and fantastic instruction
I tried several BJJ dojos before Kenny Kim's and I found KK much better in terms of the general vibe and the quality of instruction. Professor Kenny's instruction and coaching is very detailed and thorough. The senior belts at the dojo are very helpful to new students and I have learnt a great deal from them. The dojo offers several session options (early mornings, pre lunch, evenings) throughout the week that makes it possible to train no matter what your work/family schedule looks like. I'd say if you are looking to train consistently and for a long time to come, this dojo is well suited for you. There are options to train to compete in tournaments if that is your thing. The dojo meets you where you are in your training journey and helps you get better at it. I wholeheartedly recommend Kenny Kim's BJJ.
Iv been going to Kenny Kim BJJ for 9 1/2 months now and can't recommend it enough. This school is highly reputable with great instructors, a wide array of class times, open to age groups varying from young kids to teenagers to the adult classes which is the largest group and comprises students from young adults to over 55. Whether you are looking to get in shape and lose weight, learn self defense, and/or compete, this school is an excellent choice.
I have been learning BJJ under the instruction of Kenny Kim for almost 6 months now. It has been a life changing experience. Kenny’s teaching and understanding of Jiu Jitsu is second to none. Nothing but great vibes from all the teachers and students. If your looking for a BJJ academy that is built on a foundation of honour and respect, look no further!
Great coaches and super clean gym!!
World class training and instruction. Family friendly atmosphere. Professor Kenny Kim offers the best BJJ in Atlanta.
Fantastic teachers
My instructor and Professor, Rafael Formiga Barbosa, advised I train with Professor Kenny Kim while I was in Georgia. My first day in, Professor Kenny took the time to check me in and show me around his school. ImEverything about Professor Kenny‘s facility was superb. I didn’t miss a beat in my training. One thing I will draw attention to in Professor Kenny’s teaching process is his attention to detail. His Jiu-Jitsu wisdom is one of the best I’ve had the opportunity to learn from. Also, he takes the time to explain how to be a champion on the mat and in life. I look forward to coming back when next I’m in Georgia. Thanks Kenny, your Jiu Jitsu is beautiful. All the best, see you soon.
Very thorough lessons from friendly staff.
Started bringing my kids last November and have seen a tremendous impact on not just what they can do on the mat but outside of the gym most importantly. The staff are super friendly and always make you feel welcome. Great instructors as well.
Great children’s program with incredible instructors
Great place to train, ,super clean, excellent facilities, and a lot of hospitality. On Sundays, they have an Open Mat that really brings the BJJ community together. BJJ practitioners come from all over Atlanta and GA, for that matter, to participate at all levels. Highly recommended.
You can only expect the best from this place. Both the professors and students are beyond awesome and only want the best for each other. I came in about a year ago not knowing what to expect. Fast forward one year later, I can’t imagine my life without the professors and teammates I’ve met here. They’re family and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Try it out! You won’t regret it!
I began training at Kenny Kim’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in December of 2018, and it has easily been one of the best decisions that I have made not only in the past year, but in my entire life. Since day one Kenny and all of the instructors and students have made me feel as if I’m part of a family and closely knit team. There are a wide variety of class times and class structures that will work with everyone’s schedules and goals they are trying to achieve. The mats and facilities are state of the art and kept incredibly clean at all times. Everything about this academy is truly welcoming. Bottom line, if you want to fall in love with the sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or take your game to the next level, this is quite simply the best place in Georgia to do that.
I am not a student of Professor Kim but I have been to several of his open mats. He has always be friendly and welcoming. And I have had a great experience every time I walked through the door
Great place to train and get in better shape!
Awesome gym. One of the nicest and cleanest gyms I have ever trained at. Multiple showers and high ceilings for great air circulation. The professors and students are all very respectful, no malicious training between training partners. The professionalism is grade A. The content and black belts are world class. Sunday open mats at 10am are filled with many black belts from all gyms. I recommend this gym to any wanted to start/continue their journey in Jiujitsu Great exercise Learn self defense Hobbiest or competition all welcomed with open arms
honestly can't think of anything that needs improvement or could be done better. The classes are many and at various times for all students, everyone is dedicated and skilled which makes everyone a great training partner, and there's a strong sense of family and sportsmanship. It's by far the largest jiu-jitsu school I've ever been to but also the nicest and most well run. I really can't think of an area that needs improvement. A spa next door to get a good rub down after Saturday classes would be nice for all of the aches and pains from the week! Haha But thank you sir, I'm elated to have martial arts back in my life and especially BJJ. I've made excuses for far to long and it feels great to be back and be at a school I admire and respect very much. KKBJJ!
I no longer live in georgia. But I feel proud and honored to have trained at this academy. You will definitely learn pure jiu jitsu here.
Had the pleasure of meeting Kenny Kim this weekend! Not only a world class martial artist, but a passionate instructor and great person to learn from. Highly recommend him and his academy for instruction!!
Kenny Kim is a fantastic instructor who is incredibly helpful and wants to make sure students learn jiu jitsu to the best of their ability. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Top Notch BJJ Academy. Professor Kenny Kim is an excellent instructor and a very knowledgeable black belt. And a super great guy.. Highly recommend.. A+
I've been in the Jiujitsu game since 98 and trained at alot of places and this is by far the best!! Thank you so much Kenny Kim for welcoming my son and I to the family!!!
I’ve attended several classes over the last week and I am learning more than I thought I would in that timeframe. KKBJJ does a great job explaining techniques and the numerous classes offered make it convenient for a lot of schedules.
A very warm and inviting atmosphere. Kenny takes great pride in providing his students with top notch instruction. It is evident by the way his team performs in competition but also the way they conduct themselves in his classes. He and his students are always respectful and cordial toward visitors from other academies. Kenny provides a great platform for the jiu jitsu community to come together and train during his Sunday open mat sessions.
I've been training at Kenny Kim BJJ for three years now, I started my BJJ journey here and it's been phenomenal. The facility is clean, neat and well kept overall. The staff is welcoming and passionate about Jiu Jitsu both as a form of self defense and sport. From experience, I can say that we have one of the most welcoming teams you could possibly train with!
Great place for any type of person interesting in learning BJJ. This academy has very knowledgeable instructors as well as methods of teaching. The place is clean and the environment is friendly, comfortable, fun and supportive. For someone who is very small and had zero experience in ANY martial arts prior to this, I was hooked the first day. I genuinely look forward to class every day as this has now become my “break”. The students and staff are also a great bunch of people. Highly encourage people to try it out.
I have read and heard great things about Kenny Kim's gym and I thought I was going to have a good experience but unfortunately I was unsatisfied with the experience. You see I called Kenny back in February of this year because I was heading to Georgia in March and I tried to schedule an appointment three weeks ahead of time. I had a few questions I wanted to ask and he told me that I could come and visit his school. When I arrived I had my temperature checked and introduced myself to Kenny and started to observe his class. When I was finished I asked him would it be ok if I ask him some questions but he rudely cut me off and stated that should have scheduled an appointment which I did and he seem like he didn't have the patience to work with me and my goals. I didn't stay long because I felt disrespected and embarrassed but fortunately I managed to find another school. Like what Jake said I'm writing because I'm concerned about future guess going to this school with good intentions but ends bup being pushed away or disrespected and because of this experience I will not be coming to this school ever again. I wish them the best.
Ive been part of the BJJ commnity in the northwest for about 4 years now. The BJJ scene in the area is huge. Im affiliated with impact jiu-jitsu there's schools all over the Portland metro area and spreading. Michael Chapman is the founder of the Impact jiu-jitsu. He has like 23 or more blackbelts at his school. I recived my blue belt from Richard Rangel at Impact Hillsboro. Upon visiting Kenny's school being 2500 miles from home I was expecting to recieve a warm welcome from the BJJ community however that was not the case. I felt like I was treated cold or even an outsider. I was requseting to join their class, I've been on the road. Apparently the BJJ culture is not the same here. However I highly reccomend trying another school this one seems to be more interested in money than things like kindness hospitality or brotherly love. I didn't get a chance to roll with them they appered to be skilled but there's Mcdojo schools and fake black belts all over so I would be careful sending your children here or paying them money to get a sub par education. Just a concerned student.
