Great adult MMA program!…read more I was a student of the adult MMA program (only stopped because I moved to mid-town). I love the program Sinsei George runs for adults! Whether you want to get in shape, learn self defense, need a program that reduces stress or all of the above Legacy MMA is a top notch program. It doesn't matter where you are in terms of skill or getting in shape, George knows how to adjust the program to your needs. Make no mistake, however, he also knows how to push you to your absolute limit. If you're just starting out, you'll be impressed with how quickly you progress. If you're fairly confident in the shape you're in, George can challenge/humble you just as quickly! I never knew how long 60 seconds could seem until I took this class. You will get in shape faster than you think, you'll learn practical MMA (whether for self defense or for competition), you will gain confidence and you will have a blast doing it!The fees are among best I've seen in the area. Over the past couple years I've belonged to several gyms... boxing, Krav, circuit, etc... Legacy is the best all-around. George is the real deal. Before joining another martial arts or kickboxing class, you owe it to yourself to meet George and try the program for a few weeks!

We enrolled our son (who was 16 at the time, and has fairly severe Autism) at Legacy about 2 years…read moreago. Sensei George welcomed him in with open arms. He then spent the first several months working with him diligently, while making all sorts of concessions for him during group classes, due to our son's difficulty in understanding conversational speech and his general uncoordination and lack of the overall concept of punching/kicking, etc. We felt so blessed that he was willing to do this for our son! Fast forward to today... our son has progressed to a purple belt and is punching and kicking very effectively and able to do very well in many of the forms and katas that he has learned. We are blown away at what Sensei George has been able to get out of him in such a short time! We love that dojo so much, and think of George as our family. If you're looking for a phenomenal instructor that is highly experienced and has a tremendous passion for the art and a genuine love for the students he teaches, then look no further! You will not be sorry if you choose this dojo!

If you're looking to train boxing, jiu-jitsu, wrestling, kickboxing etc this is the gym to do it. It's a no frills, zero bureaucracy gym. Everyone from the coaches, to the students, to the fighters, come in and leave their all in the gym. It's no wonder the gym's motto is Train Hard, Fight Easy. Excellent coaches and a great gym with lots of one on one time. There's not much more you can ask for from a gym. I found my second family at Rodriguez MMA, come and find yours too.

Having taken a long (10-yr) break from martial arts, I got the itch to jump back in and started…read morelooking at many schools inside the perimeter. I was primarily looking for a school that addressed three things that other Atlanta schools can't provide: 1) a diversified experience with multiple disciplines, 2) an actual curriculum that would provide structure to the various lessons, and a path to future belt tests, and 3) some sort of supplemental training that would reinforce what is taught in the dojo. I joined Evolution X and while I have not been a student for very long, it provides all of these things and more: several different martial arts disciplines; a calendar and curriculum that indicates what will be taught, and when (and when it will be repeated in the future); and a super helpful library of online training resources that covers every lesson as you advance through the belts. From a teaching and training perspective, this is a very well-managed school. On top of this, I've found that the other students are helpful and supportive - and respectful of new students (myself included) - making the experience a positive one. Net net: Josh Moree runs a top-notch school for kids and adults alike, and if you are looking to learn about multiple disciplines for comprehensive martial arts training, Evolution X delivers!

Although I do not train regularly at Atlanta Kyusho and Jujitsu, I have had the pleasure to attend…read morea few seminars there. I would love to train regularly with Sensei Moree but live in Roswell so doing the drive regularly would be difficult. I come from a different background in martial arts (Yoshukai), so most of the things I was exposed to during the seminars were new to me. Sensei Moree and the other students were extremely helpful and patient with me. They made me feel very welcome, which is not always the case when visiting different styles of martial arts schools. He is a great teacher and explains techniques very well. AKJ incorporates different styles/disciplines in the training- which I think is excellent. If you are considering starting training in martial arts, I highly recommend AKJ. I am confident in saying you won't regret the decision. Osu!

The attention to detail, structure, and genuine desire to see their students grow in their martial arts journey is always the Gold Standard. The five years I have been training with these amazing gentlemen has been one of my life's highlights.

The owners are good people. I do like that they have several sets of dumbbells, so you aren't waiting for people to finish their set (most women use 10 to 25 lbs. There are many sets throughout the gym). They keep the gym clean, which is a major plus to me. They take pride in their gym. The only minor issue I had was I was working out in the smaller weight area behind the front desk & the young lady came and fumigated the area w Lysol as I was working out. It's not something I want to deeply inhale as I'm "in the zone". The lockers in the female locker room are hit or miss w the locks working & a lot of people just leave their stuff there on a permanent basis making it hard to find an empty locker sometimes to secure your belongings. It is a smaller gym, so there is no hip abuctor machine or leg curl. There is only one smith machine which is popular. There are a lot of teenagers that work out as a group here and take a good bit of time on the machines doing their sets. Which, it's good to see them engaged in a healthy lifestyle, I just wish there were more machines. They do offertraininh classes and nutrition guidance (for a fee). I have not used these services, but my neighbor does and she looks absolutely amazing. They do have a smaller infared sauna that you can pay extra for. Just be sure to schedule your time to ensure you get to use it. I take my own bath towel & sweat it all out. (They have smaller, hard sized towels to sit on) The area is kept very clean & I have seen the health benefits already. Overall, I enjoy this gym verses the others in town & if you're looking for a lot of weight loss, it appears to me that their coaching programs are worth it and small enough that you get personalized attention.
