We have gone to only 4 sessions so far but I am VERY IMPRESSED with them. All of the coach professors are patient and kind. They take the time to make sure each child fully understands what they are doing. They are encouraging and they make sure to tell each student "good job" when they are doing it right. My daughter has had zero experience previously but the coach professors jump right in and show her. They take their time and encourage her to keep trying. I was afraid on the first day with her being the "new kid" but all the kids and the coach professors treated her like she had been there for years. I definitely recommend this location. The people there are amazing and so welcoming. Can't wait to see where this takes my daughter.

Nucleas is an amazing place to train and learn whether you’re new to Jiu Jitsu or have years of experience. I have been training here for a little over a year and everyone is so friendly and ready to help each other. The environment is fun and welcoming yet still healthily competitive. The owner is fantastic and every instructor is there to help you learn and be better. Overall a fantastic place to train and I enjoyed every minute there.

I was visiting the area from Chicago and contacted Chris, the owner, a few days prior to my arrival through the website. He responded quickly with the class schedule and said I could drop in to train for a class. I opted for the 6:30am no gi class and was not disappointed! Early in the morning I pulled up to a nice, clean gym, and everyone there made me feel very welcome. Chris taught the class and is a great teacher. His explanations were clear and he went through the group during drilling to make sure everyone understood. Rolling at the end of class was also a good workout and great fun. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to check out the evening gi class, but I will be sure to make a return visit the next time I'm in the area!

Great teacher, great community, and great facility! I was able to join for one NoGi class while I was in town visiting my family and if I lived in this area, I would certainly love to sign up here. For the class I joined, we practiced light rolls into learning new techniques, practicing with our partner, and then rolling with different partners at 6 minute intervals. Really fun class and positive experience. Highly recommended for all people in this general Atlanta area to come out and join Nucleus BJJ. Special thanks to Chris and Scott, great place with kind and humble coaches. OSS! 🤙

I'm visiting the area for work and have had the pleasure of training at Nuculeas. What sets this academy apart from the many BJJ academies in Atlanta is the gym culture. Chris the owner is a super friendly and welcoming as well as a very technical instructor. You can tell he's deeply committed to his students development. The students are all very friendly. There are plenty of tough training partners for more experienced BJJers and plenty of structure and guidance for beginners. The academy also has a AWESOME strength training gym available to students under the same roof. Definitely give this place a shot.

Our family has had a wonderful experience here! Our 11 year old has played baseball, flag football, basketball, etc. but none of the traditional team sports were anything he’d get excited about. Fortunately we heard great things about this place, and it’s been really awesome! It builds confidence while they are having fun, and there is a wide range of ages/sizes of kids, and there are girls and boys. The Coaches are excellent. Our family could not recommend this place any more-it’s a lot of fun, it’s active, and they form friendships easily in this environment. Highly recommend-you can try out a free class at first, and that’s what we did. Definitely check out the free class, and I bet your kid will be hooked. They have 3 classes per week, and you can attend as many of those as you are able. We try to come all 3, but it’s nice to have that flexibility when things get hectic or someone gets a cold. They have adult classes that I hear great things about as well. Definitely recommend-this is a place of excellence without being intimidating for beginners.

Chris is a very welcoming, skilled, professional, and experienced BJJ practitioner and coach. His students reflected all of those qualities as well. I only attended one class and an open mat, but that was enough to know that if I lived local I would definitely train at Nucleus BJJ. Do yourself a favor and go train here.

Chris is a great instructor who is extremely well known in Atlanta BJJ community. Nucleus at the current moment is a small school, so there is never a shortage of opportunities to ask questions or get extra coaching after rolling. The atmosphere is amazing and everyone is extremely welcoming! The gym space is shared with a personal trainer is also always open to answering and health or dietary questions as well. This place is my home and I look forward to many more years!

Five classes with Nucleus were my first exposure to jiu jitsu. The classes began with group stretching / warmup. Chris would then demonstrate a position or movement with one of the higher ranked attendees. After being assigned a rolling partner we would break to practice the movement. This may repeat a few times. Chris and other upper belts usually observe, making suggestions. After this we would roll for the rest of the class, periodically being assigned new partners. At the end of class some of the attendees tended to stick around to roll more or listen to Chris for further miscellaneous instruction. I felt that Chris had cultivated an unusually positive culture. Everyone is focused on improvement, and often on helping others improve. The atmosphere is friendly. I definitely couldn’t “beat” anybody there, but I was never made to feel ashamed by it. Every roll was a learning opportunity. I recommend Nucleus to everyone. Thanks Chris!

When choosing a new BJJ club there are many factors to consider. Are the mats clean? Does the instructor know what he is talking about? Are your fellow students decent folk? I can say with certainty that Nucleus jiujitsu fits perfectly for the vast majority of those who want to train. There's not really much more to be said about Chris Jones than has already been said repeatedly on the internet, he's an excellent competitor and instructor with credentials and victories to prove it, but what can be said is he's a laid back guy who takes a genuine interest in his students regardless of their athletic ability, skill level, physical fitness, availability, or competition aspirations. Nucleus itself is a smaller facility, but its well laid out to maximize the space available and is well maintained and cleaned regularly. I highly recommend starting or continuing your training in BJJ and getting in on the ground floor of what will be an excellent training team.

The atmosphere is always supportive, but with healthy and fun competition from others. Nucleus is a fantastic club in the area.

ve known Chris Jones now going on three years now. As a now Blue belt I remember the first time I meet him. White belt standing there, with no real clue of Jiu Jitsu, talking to an ex military brown belt is very intimidating but he made it easy. He has great patience and a very easy, humble, way about himself that makes learning Jiu JItsu fun. He has an odd sense of humor probably honed over the years of training at Creighton MMA where practical jokes are an everyday occurrence. His new place Nucleus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is him branching out on his own and I know he will do great. If your looking for a great place to train from a down to earth great guy check out Nucleus. You will not be disappointed. Lastly, as a 53 year old guy who is in pretty good shape I can safely tell you that Jiu jitsu and MMA at Creighton MMA and Nucleus has been by far the best thing I have done for myself ever.

Nucleus BJJ is owned and operated by one the best Jiu Jitsu practitioners in the world; much less the Atlanta area. Chris Jones is an outstanding instructor who also happens to be one of the most decorated competitors around. His dearth of knowledge allows him to pass on a tremendous amount of technique.

Chris Jones exemplifies the effectiveness and benefits of training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for both self-defense and competition. He has won numerous championship titles against some of the most elite Jiu-Jitsu competitors nationwide, and his versatility as a grappler is exceeded only by his passion and talent for teaching. Chris’s grappling style thoroughly integrates techniques learned in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, and wrestling, making him one of the most complete grapplers I’ve ever had the good fortune of training with.

This is my second review of Nucleus BJJ. I have been training here since the doors opened in March 2018 and feel blessed to be a part of this incredible academy. In the past year and four months my jiu jitsu has improved tremendously not only due to the detailed instruction I get from the owner and instructor Chris Jones but also from the generosity of the upper belts who have patiently worked with me to help me get better. This really is a great environment for learning jiu jitsu at whatever pace or level you are comfortable with. If you have never grappled but might be interested in jiu jitsu, I encourage you to call Chris and start exploring the art. Whether you are great athlete or not, you have nothing to fear and will definitely be happy here. I have seen Chris take people with absolutely no experience whatsoever in grappling and in the space of a year turn them into competent jiu jitsu players who are on their way to excellence in the sport. On a personal note, I have lost almost 50 lbs and frankly am a much happier person since I started training jiu jitsu (also don't restrict yourself because you might think you are too old - I am in my late 50s :) ). On the other hand, if you aspire to be a world champion, you will find people here who can push you as hard as you want and will help you go as far as you can go. Chris himself is a multiple time world champion who knows what it takes to reach that pinnacle. Either way, do yourself a favor and come train with us.
