From the reviews

I was in town for work and dropped in for a noon class and had a great BJJ session. Professor Ryne was very instructive during drilling and I was able to get some good rolls in. I will definitely be dropping in again when back in Augusta. Osss

★★★★★ — Adam, Jun 2019

AJJA is a phenomenal Lovato-affiliated BJJ school with a structured curriculum, clean and disinfected mats, and talented, knowledgeable instructors who are passionate about what they do. Professor Ryne, black belt under Lovato Jr.

★★★★★ — Louzee, Jul 2023

If you are looking to get into Jiu-Jitsu or Muay Thai/Kickboxing then look no further. A great gym with top notch instruction and a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. Wether you’re looking to compete, fitness/self defense, or just pick up a new hobby then AJJA if the place for you.

★★★★★ — Nvrb, Feb 2023

Walked into this gym as someone who has never trained BJJ. From the first handshake with coach Ryne I felt very welcomed and comfortable. The hardest thing to do to start something new like BJJ is walking into the gym. 5 out 5 recommend you to walk in and train with us.

New to muay thai? Start at Augusta Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Augusta Jiu-Jitsu Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at Augusta Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
