About Atlas

Martial arts should be for everyone.

Atlas Jiu-Jitsu was founded on a simple idea: martial arts should be for everyone.

We started with a passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a mission to share its life-changing benefits with our community. From adults finding balance and stress relief to competitors chasing their next medal, Atlas has become a home for growth, friendship, and perseverance.

Every class, every roll, and every challenge on the mats is an opportunity to become a better version of yourself — and we're here to guide you on that journey.

Our values

How we train.

At Atlas, jiu-jitsu is more than a martial art — it's a mindset. Every time we step on the mat, we show up with the same values that shape how we train, how we treat each other, and how we grow.

  1. 01

    Respect over rank

    The white belt on their first day gets the same respect as the black belt. Always.

  2. 02

    Stay humble, train hard

    Leave the ego at the door. Show up, do the work, and get a little better every class.

  3. 03

    Be a good training partner

    Tap early, train with control, and match your partner's intensity. We improve together.

Instructors

Who you'll train with.

Chase Riddick, Head Instructor & Founder

Chase Riddick

Black belt · Head Instructor & Founder

Chase is a black belt under the lineage of the late Keith Owen, a respected Pedro Sauer black belt. After Keith's passing, the journey continued — with black belt promotion awarded by Josh Arentz, one of his most senior students.

Chase created Atlas with a clear vision: to build a non-traditional studio that's free from politics, drama, and ego — a place where people simply train hard and love the art of jiu-jitsu.
