After doing a Seminar with Adam, AG's founder and owner, I decided this was the place that could change my outlook, and I wasn't disappointed. Adam has curated an incredible energy in his school. His excellent vibes can't help but reverberate through the room, easing your anxiety about trying something new while simultaneously helping new information become incredibly digestible. An excellent teacher, and more specifically a very strong communicator. If you're someone intimidated by this martial art, know that this will be the place for you. Also he has a sick mustache that you can't help but respect. Hope to see you there

The instructor, Jake, is super welcoming and makes training on the mat very fun. He shouted out instructions and motivating calls during live rolls. There were about 6-7 black belts on the mats. All the students were courteous to me, a guest. On the days I was there, it was 10% warm-up, 20% instruction, 25% drilling, and 45% open rolling. Both days were focused on leg locks. There were about 30 people on the mats. And on one day, they invited some guest teachers in for a knee bar seminar. It was an amazing seminar, and I've been incorporating what I learned at Superfly into my game at home. Come check out Superfly!

They offer classes throughout the entire day (GI&No Gi) to fit everyone's schedule/experience level.

He excels in breaking down complicated techniques to new students like myself and is great at providing individualized attention even though the gym is growing. Definitely check out Odyssey if you are looking to start training BJJ or are looking for other gym!

At the moment it's just bjj but I can see myself taking a few others just to try them out. 3) They have a number of different bjj classes for varying skill levels. 4) The place is small enough to feel like a local gym but large enough to attract a diverse group of folks. Most importantly, the bjj classes aren't huge but there are still quite a few folks in every one. 5) The support staff was welcoming and friendly from the time I walked up til now. There are quite a few folks that I've talked with who are much more experienced and skilled (in bjj) than I am and they give the place a thumbs up.

Having trained at multiple gyms in New York and now in San Francisco over the last 5 years, I wasn't sure what to expect walking into Tsunami, but I was pleasantly surprised! First, the gym/mats/locker rooms are all clean and in great shape (just to get that out of the way). The class size was around 12-15 students and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Mohammad is an active and accomplished competitive grappler, and as such, he is the exact type of instructor that you would want to learn from if you're trying to progress rapidly in this sport. He observes all his students and takes time to give everyone something they can adjust or work on to improve their game. It's a testament to his character and the kind of instructor he is that he would take the time to watch me roll and give me personalized advice while knowing that there was no chance of me becoming a regular student in his class. You can tell he enjoys what he's doing 100% and genuinely wants to help you improve. I rolled with a few of the other students and after chatting with them afterwards, I was consistently surprised by how little they said they've trained because they were honestly some of the most well-rounded 'beginners' I've come across. Solid students, solid class, solid instructor, and everyone trained safely. If I lived in the area this would definitely be my home gym.

Currently, there is no contract to sign and people interested can get started with a beginners package (which is a pretty good deal).

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.

Ive only taken one class of Krav Maga and I LOVE IT. What's great about it is that it teaches you…read morebasic self defense when you're put under extreme stress - say walking home from the bars and a person tries to mug you. 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!

Five stars, need I say more? Of course, I will. I stumbled…read moreupon this place while looking for reasonably priced Krav Maga classes. I think they have the best price in town. 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!
