From the reviews
I've been training at Atlas Grappling for a while now, and it's easily one of the best BJJ gyms in town. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and welcoming from day one. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also truly passionate about teaching.
My four boys have been attending classes at Atlas Grappling for a year now, and the transformation has been incredible. Not only have they developed their grappling skills, but their confidence has skyrocketed. The instructors are dedicated and create a supportive environment that encourages growth and teamwork.
Great value and wonderful atmosphere! When you go to Atlas Grappling you go for the quality of training but also come out with killer skills and friendship. The gyms atmosphere is welcoming and competitive all at the same time!
Visited from out of town, Damien and the rest of the team were super welcoming. A good size mat space with people of all ages and levels to train with. BJJ, wrestling judo all under one roof. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.
New to judo? Start at Atlas Grappling
Atlas Grappling comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never stepped on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and sensei scale the intensity to you. Second, you'll start by learning to fall safely (ukemi) — reputable dojos build fundamentals (breakfalls, grips, a first throw and some groundwork) for weeks, live randori eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps everyone safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and remember to bow in and show respect (rei). Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first judo class at Atlas Grappling
Nervous about walking into a judo dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good sensei expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, learning to fall safely (ukemi), then drilling a throw or two and some groundwork with a partner — not hard randori. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a judogi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner judogi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own judogi. Live randori eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
