About East Athens Jiu Jitsu
East Athens Jiu Jitsu provides an excellent training experience in a welcoming and supportive environment. Coach JR offers top-notch coaching, catering to all levels with personalized attention. The clean and well-maintained facility creates a comfortable atmosphere for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. With expert instruction and a focus on improvement, this gym is highly recommended for anyone interested in learning Jiu Jitsu. JR creates a positive environment which is fundamental for growth. Since joining the gym, people have been down-to-earth and genuine. The environment is incredible, and thanks to JR’s teaching, much has been learned in a short time. This is the best BJJ gym in Athens, with no better value. All instruction, even for beginners, is done by an experienced black belt and new students can begin rolling immediately. There are no big egos to worry about and everyone is willing to offer genuine advice on how to get better. The gym is also significantly cheaper than others in Athens.
East Athens Jiu Jitsu is a hidden gem in Athens and I truly don’t think people realize how fortunate they are to have an instructor like JR. Not only does JR come from one of the most successful lineages in all of Brazilian jiu jitsu, but he also genuinely cares about each of his students and his desire to pass on his knowledge is evident the moment you take your first class. I have trained jiu jitsu for over 16 years and JR’s attention to detail, and ability to deliver and articulate the techniques is second to none. I look forward to stopping by every time I visit Athens for work!
I love training at East Athens Jiu Jitsu. JR is a great teacher and everyone at the gym is super friendly!
