I started doing one on one training with Fred, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From our first session, it was clear that he’s incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about fitness. He took the time to understand my goals, fitness level, and any limitations. The workout plan was tailored specifically for me, which made every session both challenging and achievable.

I enrolled my sons at Union City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA almost two months ago, and I'm really liking what I see. Coach Fred is outstanding with the kids, demonstrating immense patience and skill in his teaching. He provides clear instructions and demonstrations, then allows the kids to practice against each other, correcting and encouraging them as they go. The focus on discipline and resilience is evident in every class. My sons are not only learning valuable self-defense skills but also important life lessons in perseverance and respect. The supportive and structured environment Coach Fred creates is ideal for young learners. I highly recommend Union City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA for anyone looking to enroll their children in a top-notch martial arts program.

Highly recommend Union City Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Professor Fred is decorated black belt and well known amongst the local Jiu-Jitsu community. Gym is clean and highly focused on making all his students better. It's BJJ, dont expect to become world champ overnight, but if you keep showing up and putting in the work this academy has all the tools in place to get you to your goals. Whether its fitness, BJJ, or a place of community. Great gym!

Coach Fred is a great instructor, and keeps the environment safe and friendly, while pushing his students to become the best at the same time. I have been training here for a few months and plan to do it as long as I’m living in GA. My teammates are also friendly and push me to improve constantly. Out of all the Martial Arts gyms I’ve tried, Union City BJJ is the best.

Absolutely Recommend! Coach Fred has been a game-changer for our son. When we noticed our kiddo was getting pushed around by other kids, we knew we had to find someone who could help. Coach Fred has not only taught him discipline but also boosted his confidence tremendously. He ensures the kids are safe while learning new moves and is fantastic with them—patient, fun, and engaging. If you're looking for a great jujitsu instructor for your child, look no further. Check out Coach Fred today!
