SPARTAK Atlanta - Judo, Bjj, and Fitness - Johns Creek, Georgia

Come here if you have 0 experience. Come here if you have 100 years experience. Come here if you’re new. Come here if you’re a titan. I saw all ages, all belts and experience levels welcome here, so just come.

This is gym still demonstrates the heart of jiu jitsu, where training is about learning and bettering yourself and where your training partners are not out to make every roll an ADCC competition.

Professor Pawel and his team of black belts are friendly, provide solid technique and keep a careful eye on students. No rogue white belts here.

Let me tell you my story. I was visiting from out of town, looking for a place for my kid to practice before his big competition. Most other schools would’ve scoffed at the idea of allowing us to attend a class, but not Professor Pawel. He welcomed us, and treated my kid as if he’s always been one of his students. The black belts went around the room and greeted all the students. The students bowed and also showed great respect. We had an excellent class.

The gym is bright, and the mats are nice and clean. The facility is kept in excellent condition.

This school trains jiu jitsu as well as judo. For those who are new to the concept, this is a powerful combination that you can’t easily find. If you attend, it’s like getting a 2-for-1 deal.

My advice as someone who has been to a lot of schools, especially out of state, stop by and try Spartak first.

They are really good with kids. Very safe and trustable people. I take both my kids. We are very happy with the changes on kids. ?
Thanks Pawel and his precious wife.

Had a drop in visit while in town for work. They were so welcoming and accommodating. Quality training and instruction, a must stop if you are ever looking to train in the Alpharetta area!

This is an amazing Jiu-Jitsu and Judo gym. All the instructors are top-notch and the culture is supportive and encouraging. My whole family attends classes and I love watching my kids develop their skills and self-confidence. I love the adult classes as well. Spartak has my highest recommendation.

The instructors are the best! Like the other reiewers said: they are patient and positive and well-qualified. My child is learning a lot, working on fitness as well and having an awesome time. We have been to other martial arts studios. This one stands apart for the quality of instruction. You can tell when you come and watch a class, the kids are having fun and learning more. It's worth driving over here even though we're not near this neighborhood.

As a beginner in Judo at 24 with no prior experience in martial arts, the environment was very welcoming and the teachers very patient, knowledgeable, and straightforward. I could tell Carl (the Monday night Judo teacher) was very passionate and if I asked a question he would would be excited to answer even if it was adjacent to the lesson. Judo was less populated than some of the other arts which seemed very popular, but there was still a good mix of different experience levels in Judo anyway. I highly recommend from the viewpoint of a beginner but I know that my more experienced classmates love SPARTAK as well. Thank you Iskra!

My family and I were looking for a martial arts school where we could train in a positive and patient environment. Not only did we find this in Spartak, but we found a family-oriented school with great experienced instructors in Coach Pawel and Coach Iskra. They are a highly skilled and talented family who are passionate about their students. The instructions are so detailed, and Coach Iskra and Coach Pawel are so focused on improving their students that it has not only made it easy for us to adapt to the art of Brazilian Ju Jitsu and Judo, but it has also made it exciting to learn everything they share with us. We not only joined a school, but became a part of a family. I would highly recommend this school to anyone desiring to learn Judo and Brazilian Ju Jitsu!

This is an exceptional school with highly qualified instructors. After moving to Atlanta from Europe and being in the International Judo community for more than 15 years, I was very impressed. This is a school where the interest is for members to learn and to grow. The school is for all levels ranging from beginner through advanced. I am thankful they are in the area. Simple fact, just good people.
