I became a permanent student of Martial Arts in my early thirties, arriving into Jiu Jitsu midway. If I had a single regret, it’d be that I didn’t find and ignite this fire sooner. You will never push yourself harder in life, than on those mats and the people at Atlas will give you every tool you need. If you want to see the strongest version of you, spiritually, mentally, physically… there’s no better way to start. You won’t find better teachers, leaders or teammates. It’s not just a team, it’s family. It’s not just a gym, it’s HOME. “Through struggle comes greatness”.

I have been attending Atlas for approximately 3 months now (multiple times per week). From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The instructors do a terrific job at partnering each student with somebody who will help or improve their skill level. As a middle aged beginner to martial arts, I felt relieved that I could learn at an appropriate pace while still being challenged.I cannot say enough about the support offered by the fellow students and instructors. Atlas has a wonderful community of individuals that are as kind as they are competitive.Lastly, I’d like to mention that the skills being taught are actual skills that could be used in a self defense situation. I had studied Karate and KungFu as a younger person, and while I enjoyed both of these arts, I found them to often be more of an art than actual self defense skills. The BJJ classes and Striking classes I have attended are clearly more applicable to real life situations than other arts I have studied in my past.My only regret is that I hadn’t made the time to join this gym earlier. In the past 3 months, I have improved my physical fitness, self defense skills, and mental well being more than I had ever anticipated.If you are reading this and debating whether to attend a class, I strongly encourage you to just go. You will not find a nicer group of people to spend your time learning a new skill set.

A great place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and be in the company of other awesome humans. Accurate, clear, simple teaching. Clean mats. A hospitable, friendly, fun environment. Great for the casual Jiu Jitsu player or the serious competitor. There's strength and conditioning classes and striking classes too!

I started bjj a few months ago and I'm super grateful to have found Atlas. I had zero martial arts background but quickly fell in love with this place. It seriously has the best community of people that I've found since living upstate. Professor Joe is like no other and makes classes super fun while also being very precise in his teachings. Coming to Atlas has helped me feel more disciplined and also get into better shape. I'd recommend a trial class to anyone who wants some self defense skills, to pick up a new hobby, to get into shape, and for kids classes as well! Atlas is the best for all things martial arts and fitness!

I feel very thankful to have discovered Atlas Jiu Jitsu Glens Falls in upstate NY. The instruction is excellent! There is a strong emphasis on the fundamentals with innovative linkages to advanced concepts. The team is supportive and hardworking--everyone wants you to be successful on and off the mats. The team members do remarkable things for the community as well. Professor Zakriski individualizes instruction on the fly to make you more successful. Thanks!

I live in Connecticut but visit Atlas regularly and can't say enough good things about this gym, Professor Joe, and everyone that trains here. When it comes to training with welcoming and supportive people, I haven't experienced a better jiujitsu environment than I have at Atlas.

Great place. Joe was very accommodating to me despite me having zero experience and even less athletic ability. I only experienced the BJJ side of the gym but it looks equipped to handle striking/boxing, and strength & conditioning as well. I’m glad I went.

Atlas Jiu Jitsu was the perfect choice for me.The first day I walked in I was greeted by Joe and everyone in the class.Everyone was very friendly and eager to help.The best part is how serious everyone was about training.Coach makes the class alot of fun while maintaining a high level of discipline and safety.For anyone considering taking on an amazing martial art with great people,this is the place.
