I'm 61 and just earned my Wing Chun purple sash ranking, and am in great health from the motivation the Welch program provides. I also take JKD, Kali, Martial fitness and Tai Chi.

The learning is fun and fellow students are safe and focused upon mutual progress and respect for one another. A GREAT "family" student body. The expert styles taught here are just what Bruce Lee had intended to see with Sifu Sule's shared philosophy. My partner trains with me regularly here.

I am so fortunate to have found Buckhead Jiu-Jitsu. This is by far the best gym for BJJ in Atlanta…read morefor so many reasons. Samuel Joseph, the head instructor, is so warm and welcoming that you feel comfortable immediately. The studio pairs the seriousness of hard work, discipline, and grit required of any martial art such as jiu-jitsu with the lightness and warmth of family and friends. It is an exceptional place to train, with a very special culture. It is rare to come across any business with clients as loyal as Buckhead Jiu-Jitsu, and that is thanks to the tireless efforts of Sam and all those involved. I always leave class energized, inspired, and grateful and hope that if you're reading this review that you will come on Saturday morning to try out the intro BJJ class. I can guarantee that you will not regret it. Buckhead Jiu-Jitsu, almost overnight, transformed my conception of the sport and my involvement in it from a dabbling hobby to a lifelong endeavor to improve, compete, and one day receive my black belt. Thank you Sam and everyone at Buckhead Jiu-Jitsu in Atlanta for being such a positive influence on my life!

I didn't realize how easy it is to just freeze up and do nothing when someone tries to hurt you, so I think this is a great class to learn basic street fighting. I'm a petite lady and I always worry that a bigger person will try to attack me and I won't be able to fight back, but I think if I continue to take krav maga classes I will gain the muscle memory and strength to defend myself. I've taken kick boxing class and it's great for cardio and strength training but you're always punching an inanimate object (sand bag) so it doesn't put you in the mindset of being attacked by someone. When I took my krav maga class I was already learning how to fight one on one with another person and it forced me to think quick on my feet and attack back. Also, I had my first class with Morgan and she is super awesome! Very informative and her demonstrations make it easy to learn when it's your first time. She also makes it very fun. There's a groupon for this class and they also offer a free first time try out!

I am traveling for year, and I needed to learn some useful real life street self defense. I am so glad to have found this place. The classes are fairly small,which lets you get a more personal training. All of the trainers are super awesome (shout out to Morgan!) The best thing about to fit to fight krav maga classes is that it's pretty comprehensive. I heard other classes teaches you techniques, per level. Hence, you will be doing level 1 before you can proceed to getting your hands on to some much more advance self defense ie. Knife defense or gun defense. Hence, you will be doing fighting stances for a while. But here, they teach you the basics, and then also lets you experience various advance techniques. They will ask you "what do you feel like learning today?" And you can tell them, and they can plan for it. Maybe you will get to learn that technique you suggested that day, and if not, they will try to do it the next time. Granted, you will not master these advance techniques right away of course, but at least, they gave you the knowledge to do it. You end up getting better at it, when they go over that same technique on classes later on. So it's a cycle. By doing this, I was able to cover a lot of useful real life self defense skills, and I only had 4-5wks of training before I left. A few examples include: gun defense, knife defense, what to do when you are being hostage (with gun or knife), get someone off of you, etc. Krav maga is awesome. A very useful self defense and a real work out too. If I come back to Atlanta, I am definitely coming here again. I do miss this place!
