Parents are Concerned...

It can be tough to raise a child these days. Between the internet, social media, gaming and all the extracurricular activities, kids are more distracted and have more social pressure than ever before.

With all those distractions and stress, how do you beat the odds to raise a young man or woman who is confident, strong, and excited to succeed and take on the day?

It’s never been more important to raise children that have the courage and strength to stand up for themselves and the confidence to lead others.

Jiu Jitsu Builds Character in Kids

In addition to self-defense and protection, jiu jitsu focuses on building discipline, respect, and teamwork in kids. Together, these traits build, develop, and strengthen your child’s character.

Our classes are kept small so your child will receive individualized attention while working to improve their techniques. Classes are taught in a high energy, fun environment with an emphasis on physical fitness and discipline.

What Our Students & Parents Say

I have trained with Grandmaster Ricardo Murgel in the past and I was very happy to hear of the opening of his school in Alpharetta. Jiu jitsu has been a great way to get in shape, to train my body and mind, but what I have enjoyed the most of all is to learn from Grandmaster Murgel, an 8th degree Jiu Jitsu Black Belt. Grandmaster teaches jiu jitsu in a way that is welcoming to all, from a beginner to advanced. As a woman, I was interested in also learning self defense for myself and my son. It's been helpful to know what to do in real life situations, which is also taught in class. I would recommend Union Team BJJ for anyone who is interested in learning from a teacher who is one of the very best in the world of jiu jitsu. We are so lucky to have him here in Alpharetta!

Grandmaster Murgel is astonishingly knowledgeable. I've been training since August 2018 and in spite of my frequent travels out of town for work, I'm making progress. One thing you quickly recognize about his lessons - absolutely nothing he does is random, yet all of it is fluid and adaptable to changing situations and the ability of the student. I'm seeing my health improve as well, down 30 pounds since I started training. Who knew working this hard could be this much fun?

Grandmaster Murgel is an inspiration to all. He shows self protection is possible for anyone. At any age. He embodies the warrior spirit and and like a true warrior, he passes his knowledge down. Literally one of the very few handful of people in the whole world with his back ground. His knowledge. His credentials. His skills. And most importantly- his ability and willfulness to pass all that down to us. Search, do your homework. You will not find anyone with Grandmaster Murgel's credentials that is actively teaching in Atlanta. Or anywhere else for that matter.

Is Jiu Jitsu Right for Your Child?

Our Young Warriors classes are fun and interactive and designed specifically for kids ages 8 and up!

The focus of our program is to teach students how to protect themselves from bullying through the power of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! At Union Team BJJ, children learn the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu directly from the source, Grandmaster Ricardo Murgel, in a friendly and supporting environment.

During the class, students learn takedowns, takedown defense, and even submissions. At the end of class, students participate in a sparring session where they will grapple with each other and get the ability to apply the techniques they’ve learned.

By consistently practicing and implementing what is learned, we help kids build muscle memory. Through muscle memory, students will be able to defend themselves from bullies in real life situations without having to remember what they learned.

Students are taught to use what they learn in each class for SELF DEFENSE PURPOSES ONLY and are taught to treat their peers with respect. Classes also focus on building integrity, character, and good morals in every student.
