ABOUT US

Team Octopus is Atlanta’s premier mixed martial arts academy for training in Nova Uniao Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and boxing. Head instructor and UFC veteran Diego Saraiva, black belt in Nova União Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, has made his mark in the 155lb and 145lb divisions in MMA across the country. Saraiva and business partner, Koon Lau, opened the gym to create a family atmosphere that encourages learning, reaching fitness goals, and achieving a healthy lifestyle for all those interested.

Team Octopus offers classes for all fitness levels and ages, with the goals of learning new skills and improving health. Many who attend classes are simply there for good fitness, while others are more serious about a career involving mixed martial arts. Kids’ classes are also offered as an introduction to fitness, fun, and discipline. Families are important to Team Octopus, as moms, dads, and kids can be seen working out together.

Our MMA gym strives to deliver a family friendly facility combined with professional level training. Our mission is to build a community that is open to everyone regardless of skills and fitness levels while providing the best atmosphere available.
