I started training here after attending a buddy class with my friend. As a small female who has been assaulted in the past I was looking for self defense that would work in real life situations and this is it. I feel that all girls should be taught Gracie Jiu-jitsu as soon as possible to be able to protect themselves. I have already built so much more confidence and my skills grow with each class! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and really work with you. It is a family environment where all types of people come together to encourage one another and learn important skills and also have fun doing it. My husband and son train as well and it has brought us closer as a family. I highly recommend that you stop by and talk to Mr Randy, Mr Ryan or Miss Hannah about what jiu-jitsu can do for you, I promise it is worth it!!

I felt led to leave another review for Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Athens at the American Black Belt Academy, and I cannot emphasize enough how fortunate I feel to have found such an incredible place for my journey in jiu-jitsu. Over the past (close to) three years, I've had the privilege of being taught by Ryan and Randy McElwee, who are truly exceptional people. What sets this academy apart is not just their commitment to teaching jiu-jitsu, but their ability to foster a sense of community. From the moment you step foot in the academy, you can sense the spirit of respect that permeates every interaction. Ryan and Randy have built a place where everyone feels welcome and supported, regardless of their skill level or background. Their dedication to each student's growth is remarkable, and they go above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels encouraged.

The camaraderie and support I've experienced at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Athens have been unparalleled. It's a testament to the incredible community they have cultivated. When it comes to jiu-jitsu training, Ryan's expertise is second to none. I have learned as much, if not more, from him than from some of the special guest instructors we've had. His knowledge, communication skills, and ability to convey complex techniques are truly remarkable. Ryan is not just an instructor; he is a prodigy in his craft.
