About Us:
Martial arts training at Agazarmy Atascadero builds perseverance and character by teaching athletes to overcome challenges. Our students learn to conquer adversities and even embrace the idea that every obstacle is an opportunity for improvement. Through Jiu-Jitsu, they learn to problem solve, stay calm, and apply those skills to their daily lives. Their determination in class allows them to view the bigger picture and grow into their full potential on and off the mat.
Our History:
Professor AJ Agazarm, owner and Head Professor of Agazarmy Atascadero, began his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey in 2003. What started as a passion for training and competition grew into a lifelong commitment to learning, teaching, and sharing Jiu-Jitsu with others.
AJ began teaching professionally in 2011 and has since dedicated his career to helping students of all ages grow both on and off the mats. A 3rd Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, his background spans high school and collegiate wrestling, professional MMA, international Jiu-Jitsu competition, and coaching athletes at the highest levels of the sport.
Agazarmy represents the culmination of more than two decades of AJ’s experience and a vision to create something of his own alongside his brother, Professor Anthony. Together, they strive to provide high-level, traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in an environment where students and families feel supported, challenged, and part of a genuine community.
For AJ, Jiu-Jitsu has always been about more than learning how to fight. It is a way to build confidence, discipline, resilience, respect, and character. Those values are at the heart of Agazarmy and everything taught on the mats.
