About Us

APEX JIU - JITSU the story so far

Apex Jiu-Jitsu began its journey in 2020 in Finsbury Park, London, founded by head coach David Cartwright Khoza. Under his guidance, the gym quickly became a hub for dedicated martial artists, including Owen Jones, who trained and grew into the accomplished grappler he is today. Now, as Apex expands to Atlanta, Owen Jones takes on the role of head coach, bringing the same level of excellence and commitment that shaped his path. At Apex Atlanta, we aim to build a strong, supportive community where everyone can reach their full potential in Jiu-Jitsu.

Testimonials

What Apex Jiu-Jitsu students say

Had my first session at Apex this week and the experience was absolutely amazing. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful and I learned a lot. Can't wait to be a part of it. 100% recommend.

Tomison Apex Jiu-Jitsu

I tried a few gyms when I moved to London and Apex was far and away the best one I tried. The facility is large and clean, the timetable is excellent with early morning and weekend options, but the quality of coaching is what sets the gym apart. Whether you want to be an elite competitor or a 1-2 time a week hobbyist (which I am) - then these guys will look after you every step of the way. Give it a try!

James Harris Apex Jiu-Jitsu

Was nervous about my intro session at BJJ academy, thinking that it might be very male dominated. As soon as I arrived I was put right at ease. The teachers are so motivating and friendly. The environment was clean and spacious, and most of all I really enjoyed the session, which was a very mixed gender class. I will definitely be signing up for a membership.
