    My jump into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was an anti-climatic one: I needed a new hobby, saw their "30 Days…read moreFree" sign while driving by one day, then literally made a sharp turn in to register. Jiu-Jitsu ended up literally changing my life. I've always had an interest in martial arts but BJJ evolved me in ways I couldn't have imagined. For about 20 months before I started at 4.0, I was a lazy sack who planted myself in front of Netflix every night. Walking upstairs was a chore. I was *embarrassingly* inactive. After training under the coaches at 4.0 Martial Arts for a year, I *won* the Silver medal in my very first Newbreed Brazilian Jiu-JItsu tournament. I had NEVER, ever played sports in my entire life so this blew my mind. Coach Daren (as well as Coach Charles, Edward, and Aaron) helped me realize and discover my athletic side. I would not have been able to win that tournament without them. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be intense but it is incredibly fun. Not only has it helped me lose weight and become more athletic, I am also much more positive, outgoing, and confident. I was incredibly lucky to have found this gym first. PROS: - Very friendly, chill atmosphere. In most cases, I would have been really intimidated by how athletic everyone was when I started ... but they are a rare combo of passionate and laid-back. If you want a place full of meathead douchebros, 4.0 isn't for you. Everyone is nice and encouraging here. - Coaches with talent AND teaching skills! Up on the top shelf at the gym, you'll see a truckload of trophies and competition belts and awards from Daren. All of the coaches are amazing grapplers but they are also great at solidifying concepts in your head. - Great support network! No matter what your intentions are behind BJJ, they will support and encourage you. They will not dilute their efforts with you even if you choose never to compete. They are always there to answer questions! I'll send off videos of myself during a match asking for feedback and I get a long, detailed critique almost immediately. Now, if you ARE planning to compete, be prepared to get your ass handed to ya .. they will make sure you're well prepped .. LOL CONS: - Bring back Friday classes! :) I also think a no-gi class would be fun too. If you've been playing with the idea of taking up a martial art, I cannot recommend Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 4.0 Martial Arts enough. As one Shia La-Beouf stated, "DOOO ITTT!"

    My kids have been training with Coach Daren for several years. He has such a great rapport with the…read morekids and really keeps them excited about learning and growing; and not just in their jiu jitsu but in their academics and other activities as well. The kids work for their belts, and it's a huge accomplishment to go up a rank which I really appreciate. But it's not just for kids! I started training with the 4.0 crew a couple of years ago and am now taking the fitness classes as well. Between Coach Daren and Coach Charles there is so much expertise and they both have a great teaching style that I really like. In jiu jitsu understanding why things work and all of the details is a very important aspect and they do a great job imparting that knowledge. I love training at 4.0, the guys there aren't just "people at the gym," they are friends. I recently started the fitness classes and I really like them too! At 4.0 there is a huge focus on form and doing things right. You get pushed hard, but not to the point of injury. I know several people who have started crossfit-style workouts only to injure themselves weeks later so I really appreciate the attention to detail.

    I'm a mom of a martial art student at KSMA. Yesterday was the last of a 3 session women's…read moreself-defense (SD) course that was offered, and I'm so glad I did. I've taken one day SD course before and almost immediately forgot everything. Part of it, I think was because it complicated and involved some movements I didn't think I could do in a crisis. Unlike the other experience, the course that I took at KSMA was focused avoiding and getting out of the situation before an altercation could really begin. What Sa Bom Nim Beaty taught was how to feel more comfortable and confident with using our own body as protective and defensive tools. I really enjoyed the training, got a decent workout, met other women wanting to learn and share which was powerful, and by the end of the course, I wanted to learn more. What's also great is that he has equipment that you can use to get a realistic idea on what it feel like to hit a person. One key reason why I am glad I took this course is because of an incident that occurred this evening, which prompted me to write this review. My son and I were leaving an event and I saw something very odd about where we were. It was dark, inbetween a large building and a wooded area. We were about to walk past a car parked near a large dumpster when I saw a light flash. I was talking on the phone while crossing the street, then i notice a man near where we walkig who looked very odd. He was walking in front of us but yet still pacing himself along with us. I ended my call a d told the caller I had to focus. I put my phone away, chambered my keys in one hand and was prepared with the other. My son, to my surprised had turned off his music, was just as alert, and we quickly walked to the car and left. It may have been nothing. I may have over reacted, but once I got home and processed all that had occurred, I realized I used the awareness approached recommended by Sa Bom Nim Beaty in the course, and was prepared to try out the other skills, if need be. For that, alone, I am grateful, and would highly recommend the Women's Self Defense course, as well as any other program offered at KSMA.

    There are so many positive things to say about Kick Start Martial Arts! It's been really tough…read morefinding an extra-curriculum activity that my son enjoys. However, he immediately fell in love with KSMA and so did we. Master Beaty has put together an amazing program. We feel so at home here. The program is very well organized and the studio is always well maintained. Master Beaty truly cares for his students and it shows. There's a perfect balance of instruction and compassion. Thanks so much to Master Beaty and the entire KSMA team for a job well done!!!

    This place is a hidden gem…read more First off all, it really is hidden. If you don't know to look for it, you'll drive right past. Once you turn into the parking lot, the gym is down a hidden stairway on the left. As a member, you have a choice to sign up for boxing, strength & conditioning, Muay Thai, kickboxing, or jiu jitsu classes. The trainers push you hard, in the best way. By and large, they move around the room keeping an eye on everyone...making form corrections and gently encouraging to push yourself further. They are accepting of members of all shapes and sizes, and seem to take in consideration the physical and strength abilities of each individual. There is a great variety of DBs, KBs, BBs, and cardio machines (much bought in the past year) to use on your own and on your own timetable, if you choose. You also have the option to take classes at any of the other five locations, for added variety. The Sandy Springs location has the added bonus of having a dry sauna for post-workout "cooldown". The truth is that I have gym at home with much of the equipment found here, but I will never be able to get the results I get by coming to this gym. Having a trainer (most have been there several years) to push you past your preconceived limits is priceless. Add to that a great group of other participants (all on various journeys of their own) to offer additional encouraging words or fist bumps. I feel that the monthly fee is pricey, but I believe it's still in line with what most other gyms of this type charge. And the fact that they have continued to purchase new equipment (small and large), shows that they are willing to continuously invest in what they have to offer. Ultimately, Team Octopus - Sandy Springs has become a home-away-from-home. I, regularly, look forward to seeing the trainers and my new friends there...and to seeing the physical and mental limits that I'm able to push (or be pushed) past. After some soul-searching, I decided recently that there was no better investment than my physical, mental, and emotional well-being, and purchased a lifetime membership. T.O. may not become as integral part of your life, but it just might. Give it a chance, it might change your life.

    Great concept, very unethical business practices. I wish I could have stayed as it seems it would…read morehave been a great way to get in shape and join a community, but it's not worth it. They'll start you off with $180/month but have a clause in the contract that gives them the right to charge you $1000/month without your consent. That is ridiculous! I called to get this situation rectified and to get this clause out of the contact (that I didn't even know I was signing--they generate a signature to contracts without your consent), but the owner never responded. I guess he was hoping he'd get away with it!! Shameful!!! Also, it's ALL locations that are owned by the same guy. Not just the Sandy Springs location. AVOID THEM ALL!!!
