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.
