Canton Warriors BJJ is a great place to train. The coaches provide individual instruction and they help their students master technique. Technique is vital, especially in knowing ones limitations and how to use it to your advantage. Coach Derrick creates an atmosphere that is friendly and welcoming for all skill levels.

In my opinion this is the best place on earth. I love coming to jujitsu and learning new things,challenging myself, and helping others. Everyone here has a very special connection that you cannot find at any other school. You can find your limits, figure out how to pass them, and become more than you could have imagined. Training here has been the best years of my life. I have learned perseverance, self confidence, how to push myself past my limits, how to make myself better, gained an amazing family and amazing friends. I am proud to be a Warrior.

I started Jiu Jitsu with my son 4 years ago when he was being bullied in middle school. Professor (Coach) Derrick has a genuine interest and really cares for his students (especially the kids). I am very glad to have joined here with my son. He has learned respect and developed his self esteem under Coach Derricks instruction. This is a great school.

I love this school!! I just started taking the self defense class with coach Lindsey and it has been wonderful! Everyone there is always outgoing and friendly. The instructors are willing to stay late with you and go over any techniques you need help with. They really want you to succeed. I also love that it is a family friendly environment.

An excellent place to learn, share, and grow your Jiu jitsu. Excellent staff and instructors in the kids program. Coach Derrick and coach Lindsey are amazing with the kids group. Your young ones will learn confidence, accountability, and respect.The adults class is an excellent group as well. Extremely supportive of one another and always eager to learn.They also have an AMAZING womens class led by coach Lindsey.This place has an amazing atmosphere with some pretty remarkable people. Great vibes at this academy!!!

The instructor is one of the better ones in the ocean of martial arts instructors.

This is an amazing gym to train at, for kids, adults, and even has an amazing ladies self-defense program! Our entire family loves this school. Very good instruction, cardio sessions, and respectful coaches and fellow classmates. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for self-defense, competition Jiu Jitsu; anti-bullying techniques or just a great group of humans to surround yourself with. Best gym, hands down!

Coach Derrick at Canton Warrior BJJ is the BEST! If youre looking for a place to take your kid for Jiu-jitsu you wont be disappointed here!

We love Canton Warriors BJJ! The training is excellent, and it feels like a big family! Professor Derrick does such an amazing job teaching the kids. He believes in them and gives them the skills and confidence to face tough situations in life. Come check it out!

I just recently joined Warriors Academy. Everyone has been friendly and welcoming. Having no prior training I didnt know what to expect. But I found not only a great group of people, but a pretty intense group when on the mats. Perfect!

Coach Derrick is one of the best coaches I have ever met. Amazing with all the kids and a roll model I wish more kids had.

Super cool place, super friendly atmosphere. Definitely felt a family vibe.

Professor Derrick is an awesome dude and has a wealth of knowledge. He clearly has his heart in the right place and takes his role very seriously. He’s there to teach, both kids and adults, how to be a little bit better. At bjj, sure, but in other aspects of life as well. I’m not in Georgia anymore, but if I were in the area, I’d definitely be training at this gym. Great people and superb instruction. You really can’t ask for much more. It was a genuine pleasure getting to work with Professor Derrick. Truly, he’s a really awesome person and a great coach.

Professor Derrick has not just taught my daughter skills to help her feel confident and secure enough to stand up to her bullies, but she has self defense techniques that I know she can use in real life situations that will help her get away from someone otherwise stronger than her. Beyond the sport, he invests in their future, in their relationships, and in their character. He wants them to be compassionate and hard working people. The kids and adults that come out of this school are better and stronger people because of the heart that is Gracie Barra Canton, Professor Derrick and all of the trainers that truly care!

I can not say enough great things about this school and Professor Derrick himself. He has taken a child with lower self esteem who has not found passion in much, and turned him into an excited, energetic child who can’t wait to come back. He doesn’t worry about being the “smallest kid” in class anymore. Thank you so much!

Professor Derrick is amazing and very patient with his students. He is very knowledgeable and is always finding the best ways to teach his students. He cares about all his students, like they are his own. I would recommend this jujitsu school to anyone. I love the fact that the students here earn their stripes and belts. Professor Derrick will not promote anyone unless they have earned that promotion. NO FREEBIES HERE. lol

Coach Derrick is AMAZING! I am so thankful that we went to dinner that night and got to sit in on a class. Immediately our daughter was hooked. The time, energy and commitment that Coach Derrick and the others give to the kids is incredible. We love our entire BJJ family and look forward to many years together.

My son is learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu here. Wow! We are very happy with his experience. Definitely a great place to learn techniques and self defense.

GB Canton is a wonderful school. Coach Derrick and his assistants are amazing. My son has grown so much since he started taking BJJ there (emotionally, mentally and physically.) Highly recommend GB Canton to everyone!

GB Canton is a top notch school run by a genuinely nice man. The school offers a high level of instruction with a very welcoming atmosphere. They have a thriving kids program as well. There is also the benefit of other local GB guys stopping by to roll. All in all, this is the place to learn BJJ in the Canton area.

I have worked out with Derrick for years. He is a great motivator and is able to get me to accomplish more every time. He makes a workout fun and something to look forward to.

Great school with great BLACK BELT instructors, if you are anywhere near here you should be training with these guys.anyone saying anything to discredit Derrick obviously has never trained with him or talked to the guy for more than 5 minutes.

My family has trained at this school for years. When we first started going, I had no idea I would be gaining a family. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and supportive - even for those coming in with no experience.This is by far the best jiu jitsu school in the area. The training is very high level but presented in a way that anyone can understand it (even me! Ha!)The kids’ program is unbelievable. Not only did they finish undefeated in 2018, but Coach Derrick really connects with the children. He makes them want to be better - in jiu jitsu, in school, and in life!I am so thankful for Canton Warrior BJJ and Professor Derrick Clark.

Ive been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about a year now. I come to Derricks school to get in some cross training and he is always extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. I appreciate the atmosphere and work ethic at GB Canton and I look forward to continuing to frequent this business.

Derrick is a class act! He is very personable, easy to talk to and learn from. He answered all my questions about Jiu-Jitsu and training at GB Canton. I highly recommend them!

Professor Derrick is one of the best coaches around. Great school for kids and adults.

Robert Ortman Well thats really funny! My wife and I decided to have dinner at Viva la Mexico tonight because its the first night we had without our kids in a while. When we walked in we saw coach Derrick sitting at the bar with two of his friends and Im not sure if it was Sprite or Coke or sweet tea but whatever coach Derek was drinking was in a Coke cup. Ive known Derrick 10 years. Ive never known him to be anything but a positive encouragement to anyone that spends time with him. As far as kids go... there couldnt be anyone better. All the kids respond very well and he treats them with respect and kindness. Both of our kids love him.MORAL of THE STORYDont. believe. every. crazy. rant you read on the Internet. Heck! Dont believe my crazy rant..., just go to Gracie Barra Canton shake his hand spend time with Derrick. You will find that his personality far surpasses his exemplary skill in Jiu-Jitsu. By the way he saved a childs life on Barrett Pkwy after a hit and run earlier this year.

This is a scam. The owners bounce from place to place and get drunk at the bar next door every night. We have never worked out here or even tried, but the owners act like they know the sport and cant answer simple questions. Frauds. Stay away.

What Robert said is completely fiction. I was with Coach Derrick that night eating and rehydrating after busting our butts in the gym. While it is true we go next door, we do that because not everyone gets to eat before training especially if you come straight from work. So, when i hear that someone who has never been to one bjj class at our school call it a scam because coach didnt know someone, i just want to say to him that ive been at gb canton for a little over 6 months and ive lost over 30 pounds, im gradually gaining the ability to defend myself everyday and ive connected to a community that is nothing but love and respect. If you think thats a scam then all i suggest is come on the mats and see.

Derrick is awesome and always happy to welcome new students.

Im not sure where this guy gets his information from, but Derrick Clark a great motivators I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Both of my son are students as well as myself. We have been with him since he opened his doors to the school. If you think hes a fraud please except this invitation and find out for yourself.
