    Amazing Jiu-Jitsu Academy! My son has been there for over 3 yeas. He's 11 now. His…read moretransformation has been awesome. Confidence, discipline, manners, respect and dedication are taught and fostered in this program in addition to self-defense and anti-bullying. Even his grades in school have improved. I can't say enough about the Coach and this program. They also teach adult classes as well as special workshops for basic women's self defense. This art and the Gracie syllabus are perfect for anyone interested in learning the best self defense in the world. We are lucky to have this Academy located here in Peachtree City GA!

    I began training in BJJ in 2002, my freshman year in college. After 2 years I moved to Valdosta to…read morefinish school, but had trouble finding quality BJJ at that time (it has since grown down there). I ended up teaching at a local gym as a Blue Belt (mostly no-gi with basic gi) and later got my purple belt from Glenn Hamby, who was a brown belt under Marcio Feitosa at the time. After a few years I had to give up teaching to pursue a career. I have since moved to Fayetteville, GA and was referred to Gracie Balance in Sharpsburg. There are a few schools closer to where I live. I have nothing bad to say about them, since I haven't trained with them, however, since the first day I trained with Jorge (3rd degree under Pedro Sauer) I never regret driving past them to train with Jorge and the rest of the BJJ family there! Keep in mind I have shopped plenty before I moved here, so I'm familiar with how other schools are run (Franco De Camargo--LA, Kron Gracie--LA, Renato Luca--Carazinho, R.S. [Brazil], Hamby Freestyle Jiu Jitsu--Albany, GA, etc.) In short, it's a great, quality school with quality instruction, and a great family to roll with. NEWCOMERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME!! NO INTIMIDATION FACTOR TO WORRY ABOUT!! If you are coming to learn, you won't be disappointed!! Whether man, woman, or child, Gracie Jiu Jitsu is by far the best, most practical system I've seen for self-defense.

This place gives kids confidence while showing them their true potential physically and emotionally. I highly recommend XLVCB to anyone of any age.

Classes are just the right size, he stresses techniques over strength, and the studio is always clean. Sundays mornings are womens only jj, we go over really life self defense scenarios, and if you're not comfortable yet rolling with guys there's girls with enough experience to help better your game. Nothing is sugar coated, he teaches you what you need to know and how to protect yourself. As a victim of abuse, sitting in a room and talking to someone over and over can only go so far. I knew I had to heal and over come the physical part. Xingu's been so helpful and understanding and more importantly patient with me while I go through this journey of just be able to cope with it. My youngest daughter was being bullied at school and had it not been for this school and xingu, she wouldn't have had the confidence to stand up to her bully. I'm so so blessed to have him and the school in our lives.

    We had a good few years, but Rhett Husband is not good at Management...whether that involves…read moreconflict management, financial management, or client/customer service. I'm not sure if maybe there is a mental health crisis coming to the surface here, but something, as of late, is definitely "off" about this KA Southside Regional Developer and his decision- making. There seems to be some deterioration in mental ability to assess situations, and there seems to be an overwhelming need for control, that transcends respect and authority, and lends itself more to being a garden- variety bully. After several great years, we have had a jolting experience, directly because of this person. I no longer can recommend this school, after years of both service and patronage, because of this toxic, angry, seemingly unwell person. He has an obsession with control, of both his students and instructors, that is disturbing, and ends in strange, inappropriate threats made in private about your child. It feels gross...shocking, horrific, and maddening. As a parent, it's really difficult to navigate bizarre ultimatums, threats, and demands from someone who's supposed to be in leadership, and an adult. No one likes threats and ultimatums, to demonstrate your allegiance. Corporate really needs to investigate exactly what is going on in the daily operations of his two locations, in Peachtree City and Newnan, as well as look into the reasons why there's so many people suddenly leaving the school (mass exodus of both instructors and students), as well as why they're not growing, or seeing new students being added. Sometimes you have to consider that multiple people feeling, experiencing, and acting in the same way, are not wrong... But the one person causing these situations, is wrong. For legal reasons, I'm not going to go into exact specifics, except to send out a warning to other parents that this is NOT a school, in its current condition, that you want your children to attend, to learn martial arts. This school, due to leadership, no longer embodies the spirit of Taekwondo... it is instead inhabited by the dark, malignant shadow of incompetent, cruel tyranny. This school feels more like dealing with an organized crime cartel, than a family-oriented martial arts studio, in its present state. Avoid.
