Whether you're looking for some hard rounds to compete and prepare or just get a good workout, the schedule has classes perfect for you. Tony was very mature and respectful and welcoming to myself and everybody else and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to train here.

He's built up a squad of very technical guys, and the culture he's developed in his gym is one of the best I've seen. Everyone went out of their way to make me feel welcome, and I never felt like I had a target on my back during rolls. Tony trained for years with both Matt Serra (Renzo Gracie) and Alliance when legends like Lucas Lepri were teaching, and it gives him the unique perspective from having seen how two of the top teams in the sport teach and train. Alpharetta is very lucky to have him, and I'd easily tell anyone looking for a quality place to visit or train to stop by.

You will not find a better self defense system than Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and you will not find a better instructor in Forsyth County and Cumming, GA than Omar Lira. Professor Omar Lira is a wealth of knowledge and the best instructor I have ever had the privilege to learn from. He is incredibly technical and his teaching style is unmatched. Omar is invested in each and every student by being involved and helping them reach their goals. You won't find this type of attention anywhere else. The students are also a huge part of any school, and the students here do not disappoint. This is not a school that promotes or tolerates injuring other students. It's an incredibly healthy learning environment with more of a "second family" group of people. I really can't say enough about how good this school is. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!!!!

After 2 weeks of classes 3-4x a week, I cannot express how humbling, welcoming and rewarding this experience has been. From Instructors to students of all levels, I was welcomed with open arms. There are no bad attitudes here - everyone helps everyone progress with patience and enthusiasm. The availability of evening and afternoon classes is a huge bonus as well. If you're considering learning BJJ, this is THE place. It's hard work but each class is rewarding and addictive. Do it!!

Spartak ATL has become my extended family. I began training here a couple of years back. The level…read moreof instruction in both Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and the Fitness Bag classes is excellent. Spartak means Sports Society and Spartak ATL is certainly a family atmosphere which has scope for kids, teens, adults, fitness fanatics, serious martial artists, or beginners who just want fun. There are classes 5 days per week for both kids and adults. Adult classes are early morning and/or evenings. Spartak is not however a 'Mcdojo', so you or your kids won't be an expert in a few years like at most other styles of martial art e.g. karate, wtf taekwondo. What you do get is a very cost effective place to train, functional martial arts and fitness, camaraderie, and a far cheaper (than anywhere I know) place to spend your hard earned money. When belt promotions take place you should know that they have been earned and that you or your child are worthy of it. My kids have trained here as long as I have, both have entered competitions a couple of times and placed in medals. This is a very eclectic group of people, we have people who train from at least four continents. Our instructors are originally European and/or Brazilian but certainly promote American values. Try out Spartak, I'm sure you'll appreciate the warm friendly atmosphere and if you're an adult we even socialize regularly. Hope to see you soon.
