I've waited almost a year to write this review because I wanted it to be based on real world experiences. I'm a BJJ Blackbelt under Rafael "Gordinho" Lima with 20+ years of training. While I'm entirely a hobbyist, due to life and work relocations I've trained at quite a few gyms throughout the years with some very big names in the sport. In early 2024 I signed up at Unit 2 Jiu Jitsu because it's very close to my new home in Atlanta.

I'm glad I did.

Unit 2 Fitness is a hidden gem in the Atlanta Jiu Jitsu scene and Jeffery Boudreaux is without a doubt one of the best Jiu Jitsu coaches I have ever trained with. His personalized and passionate approach reminds me very much of my own professor. He is an absolute wealth of Jiu Jitsu knowledge and is on the mats with his students every day. The latter is a trait that is becoming exceedingly rare for Jiu Jitsu school owners as the demands of scaling a business often outpace their ability to train.

Not so at Unit 2. Training always comes first with the understanding that the training experience on the mat _IS_ the product. In this day and age of social media saturation and "content creation" it can be exceedingly hard to find a school that simply lets its jiu jitsu do the talking. Unit 2 is that school in Atlanta.

The coaches care and are passionate about each student's individual game and development. The focus is entirely on no-nonsense competition proven Jiu Jitsu. It is an environment where it is easy to belong. You show up, you train, you're part of the team.

I highly recommend Unit 2 to anyone in the Atlanta area that is looking for a school offering world class Jiu Jitsu instruction where you don't have to worry about tripping over selfie sticks, or being bombarded with non-stop e-mail campaigns trying to upsell you on random nonsense.

Come train, you'll be glad you did!

This is absolutely the BEST gym! The boxing and jujitsu classes are amazing! Not only do you get a FABULOUS workout, but you will meet a ton of GREAT people. Jeff, the owner, hosts a lot of community events for the members, such as cook outs and pot lucks-with fun for the whole family (including the kids)! Ryan works alongside Jeff, and is nothing short of AWESOME! They are both great teachers (encouraging, patient, and helpful) and make you feel right at home! The gym itself is huge and it consists of a matted boxing area, a matted jujitsu area, and even a small gym with weights and work out equipment. If you are looking for some great workouts, making some new friends, or even an extra-curricular activity for yourself and/or your kids after school, I would definitely check out this place! 10/10!

I was in town for few days and attending the BJJ class was an incredible experience, thanks to Coach Jeff. His expertise, patience, and passion for teaching made every session both challenging and enjoyable. Jeff's ability to break down complex techniques and his dedication to each student's progress truly sets him apart as a great instructor. His positive energy and encouragement create a welcoming environment that inspires everyone to do their best.

This isn't some run of the mill fitness joint. Unit 2 Fitness is a treasure. It enhances the city and community of Decatur.

My family has been participating in youth BJJ and kickboxing for well over a year, and it's made such a difference in our lives. Discipline, physical strength, mental clarity, skill mastery, social interaction, improved sleep, and motivation are just some of the benefits that come to mind.

The instruction is excellent. Coaches are more than qualified and have different styles which complement each other well. They're great with kids! The kids who compete can and do win medals with what they learn. You don't have to have prior experience to start any of the classes. Warm-ups are thoughtful so that injuries are effectively prevented. Your goal could be getting into better shape generally or getting into the ring. Either way, the amount and degree of technique you choose to level up is really up to you, as the mastery of the coaches is so insanely high that you will always have something new to learn.

Shout out to Coach Jeff, Coach Ryne, and all of the amazing coaches for the awesome BJJ & kickboxing instruction over the years! Thanks, guys!

I have been training at Unit 2 Fitness for nearly 6 years now, and I can't recommend this place enough. Small business level attention-to-detail and customer service, with expert level instruction. Most importantly a focus on a family-friendly environment and member relationships, rather than the churn & burn model that a lot of new gyms offer. Come try a class and see for yourself!

I have been training at Unit2Fitness since 2016 with its striking program (Muay Thai, kickboxing). I have learned a lot since then and greatly improved my martial art technique, and physique. It has been a great experience and healthy routine for me to come to Unit2 several times a week. Jeff and Ryne are great people, passionate and professional. Jeff has been paying great attention to the experience at the gym and constantly striving to let people make the most of the gym. Especially during the COVID, he has implemented several social-distancing and cleaning routines that helps keeping the gym safe. Ryne has awesome personalities and his kickboxing classes are super enjoyable and rewarding. It is going to be even better with the gym relocating to Decatur, which has natural sunlight and bigger space. I wound recommend it to my friends and in fact I have already done so with two of my friends.

I really love the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kickboxing classes at Unit 2! I was searching for a new gym after moving up to Atlanta and was nervous about getting back into BJJ after 3 years off. I was immediately welcomed in and quickly realized I had nothing to be nervous about! The coaches are fun & motivating - Joining has been the best decision I’ve made all year! I highly recommend coming in and trying a class!
