Atlas Jiu Jitsu

"Atlas Jiu-Jitsu is like a sanctuary for me, a place where I can unleash all my energy and relieve my stress while learning from the best of the best. It's an incredible academy with an amazing community, embodying the principle that "iron sharpens iron." The atmosphere is overwhelmingly positive, a testament to the environment cultivated by Professor Anthony. I cannot recommend this place enough – it comes highly recommended!"

"If you have ever been interested in trying Jiu Jitsu, This is the place! Atlas is truly a community of people who will welcome you with open arms, make you feel comfortable and help you to progress through your personal bjj journey. I highly recommend trying a class and seeing for yourself."

"Several months ago, my job temporarily assigned me to the Albany area. I was looking for a place to continue training when I found Atlas. Although they knew I was only passing through for a couple of months, they treated me like family. Edward Anthony is a wonderful BJJ instructor who truly cares about the development of his students. I learned more at Atlas than I ever thought possible in such a short amount of time. The class schedules are convenient. The classes are structured and organized. In each class, there are various skill levels, making it both challenging and educational in practice. So, regardless of your skill level, you will have a place. Atlas perfectly blends a culture of friendliness with no non-sense training. If you are looking to seriously improve your BJJ/ physical fitness etc. in a welcoming setting, with some motivated people, under a motivated Professor, this is your place. I’m glad I had the chance to train there for several months, and if I was ever in the Albany area again for an extended period of time, I’d go back in a heartbeat."

"Two years ago I came to atlas, with an interest in learning about Jiu Jitsu. Even though I had no history of grappling or combat sports before my first class, professor Ed Anthony along with coach Aidan explained and demonstrated each technique with concise detail, also answering any questions that I had. Upon rolling for the first time, other students were welcoming, and very informative if I had a question. 2 years after that first class I now train Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing, and wrestling here. Competed in grappling competitions and now training to be an MMA fighter. This gym has become my 2nd home, like for many other students that attend here, children and adults alike. It’s a great environment, everyone has the goal of helping each other get better whether that be the competitor or the hobbyist. Atlas Jiu Jitsu has not only improved my life physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. If you’re looking to learn an amazing skill with a great team, Atlas is it!"

"Atlas Jiu Jitsu has become my second home, I am currently training to become a professional mixed martial artist. Atlas has helped me chase this dream of mine and welcomed me in like family from my first day. I have been training at Atlas for about a year now and have grown tremendously physically and spiritually. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity they have provided me with and for everyone I train with on a daily basis. I’ve already experienced so many lasting memories in the short time i’ve been here. If you’re interested in any kind of martial arts, want to get in better shape, want to compete, or simply want to have fun definitely stop by Atlas for a class!"
