Rated 5.0/5 across 60 Google reviews.

This is the best BJJ school in the area. Coach Randy and Laura are a husband and wife black belt team. They and their teaching staff are talented and are great at explaining the sport to students. They offer an array of classes with something for all ages or skill levels. Their kids classes are amazing, they really take the time to teach the kids. Randy and Laura are very patient. It’s a legit martial art school so they build discipline as well as technique. The teaching staff is homegrown so they do recognize and develop talent. All the instructors are excellent at what they do. They are very patient, friendly, and welcoming. The facility is very clean, they recently did renovations, so they have new clean mats to train on, cleanliness is something they take very seriously. All in all I can’t recommend this place enough. Whether your new in town, new to the sport, or looking to get back into the sport after a break, you need to give th
I finally got a chance to check out Ataraxis Jiu-Jitsu and I highly reccomend it. The school is clean, organized and the staff (Laura and Randy) are extremely knowledgeable, patient and respectful. Personally, I have known and trained under and along side Randy for nearly a decade. I can say that I have learned a great deal from Randy both on and off the mat. His meticulous attention to detail and knowledge of Jiu-Jitsu is evident in his instruction. I have watched Randy win various tournaments including Naga to IBJJF, as well as coaching students to win gold in those very same tournaments. Randy and Laura's passion for Jiu-Jitsu and knowledge of both, the street and the sport aspects of Jiu-Jitsu, make them excellent ambassadors of the art. I look forward to visiting their school again soon. Edwin Acevedo Jr. Fourth Degree GJJ Brown Belt
Coach Randy and Laura have created a fantastic atmosphere at Atraxis with top notch training in a stress-free environment. Whether you are looking to compete, learn self defense or just get in better shape, there is something for everyone at this school. I especially appreciate the cleanliness of the school/mats. As a father of two young children (5 yo) who also train at Ataraxis, both coaches do a great job of introducing the fundamentals of jiu jitsu/self defense/discipline while always keeping it fun for the kids. I recommend Ataraxis and Coach Randy and Coach Laura without reservation.
I’ve been training with Randy since February of this year. His classes are always fun and challenging. If you’re a beginner he’s excellent at approaching things with a “ beginners mind”. He also has plenty to challenge more advanced students. My 12 year old daughter recently started training at Ataraxis as well. She has taken both the beginner class with Randy and the “women’s only” classes with Laura and has had a lot of fun. One definite positive note is how Randy prides himself in how clean his facility is. Wether your looking to have fun with the sport of ju jitsu, want to get in shape, or learn how to defend yourself they have a lot to offer.
Incredible coaches and members make Ataraxis Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu a great place to train BJJ. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced practitioner, the training environment and wealth of knowledge from the coaches will take your game to the next level. They offer amazing kids classes that teaches them self defense and instills strong self confidence. Walking in to Ataraxis to start jiu jitsu was one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. There's no better time to start then today!
I've been training with Randy and Laura for over 7 years. This is the best BJJ school I've been to and I look forward to every class I attend. They both have a vast knowledge of jiu jitsu and provide great instruction of the techniques. The facility itself is always spotless and well-maintained, which makes training even more enjoyable. The thing I like most about Ataraxis is the culture of respect, kindness, and inclusiveness. It feels like everyone at the gym is friends with each other, and many of them have become friends over the years. I definitely recommend joining if you want to learn to defend yourself, if you want to find a good way to exercise that works out your body and mind, or if you are looking to meet people.
