I met Mike years before he had his own gym - but was already a formidable Brown belt and highly regarded strength and conditioning coach. He took time out of his busy college level coaching schedule to come teach myself and a group of other kickboxers grappling fundamentals for mma and self-defense - for free. His passion for Jiu Jitsu is contagious - and ultimately meeting him was the only reason I decided to put on a gi. And that decision led to many amazing years on the mats and a lot of beautiful, lasting relationships. Im not someone who competes anymore or even trains all that regularly, but the years I spent learning from and training with Mike, profoundly impacted my life. His teaching style is laid back transference of enthusiasm for the art and his extensive technical knowledge to his students and community. There are a lot of great places to train in Savannah now and the Jiu Jitsu community at large is better for it, but I can’t recommend enough training with Mike and letting his passion and enthusiasm for the art of Jiu Jitsu, his technical knowledge, hard-earned experience, and calm energy be a part of your martial arts journey. if you’re visiting Savannah or live here and are looking for a place to train - beginner or advanced - definitely check his...
Read moreMy wife is a traveling nurse, and I travel along with her. We are originally from Long Island, NY and that's where my home gym is, however her latest nursing contract brought us here to Savannah, GA. One of my training partners in Long Island has colleagues who train out of Alpharetta, and they recommended Serg's as the go-to facility here in Savannah. I walked in one evening to set up a trial class, and was immediately met with open arms and a sincere invitation! Didn't feel like a potential client, or even a customer! The first impression made me feel like I had always been a part of the team! A positive, non judgmental learning environment! Serg is a patient and humble teacher, and his influence carries onto the mats and through to each one of his students! They encourage, they teach, and they listen!
HIGHLY...
Read moreI’m visiting from out of town and decided to do a drop in at this gym. From the very beginning Serg was very accepting and receptive to having me come train at his gym as a guest. I’ve visited many gyms but never been to one this nice and welcoming. The students were extremely nice and I had some amazing rolls while I was there. The professors were absolutely amazing! Class was very straight forward and easy to understand. If I lived in Savannah I would 100% train here full time. If you’re new to BJJ or looking for a new place to train, I would highly recommend SergBJJ. As a side note, this gym has definitely made a name for itself. I live in north Georgia and there are many people that rave about SergBJJ. My coach suggested visiting this gym due to the great reputation of the...
