What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Sarah Penry

"We’ve had an amazing experience with Absolute! Such a fantastic academy with incredible and competent instructors. Coach Dee is awesome! Very clean and well maintained."

McRae

"My son and I moved to TN from Georgia and checked out some Jiu Jitsu schools - once I looked at the photos on the wall of Absolute JJ I knew we were in the right place. My son was 10 and I was ...well, older lol. The history speaks for itself but it gets better. My son and I made Absolute our home for a few years until I had to go back to Ga. But we both have good solid friendships we made at Absolute and we both love Dee and the people on the mats. It really is one of the best schools anywhere. Dee brings in BJJ masters from everywhere. It's an unusual school in that regard. I can't say enough about what Dee and absolute did for my son. My family and I love this place!"

Alan Wallace

"I started my son in Jiu Jitsu here a couple of years ago and was excited to see that day one he was already learning the techniques. They also play lots of games that kids just think are fun, but actually have core concepts built into them. I started training myself after watching my son's quick progression and now attending class is something that I always look forward to as well. Coach Dee is very attentive to his classes in order to make sure that everyone is training safely and learning techniques the right way."

Ulysses Batista

"I've had my daughter in different gyms from Johnson City to Bristol TN. I will tell you if the drive is what's holding you back then continue to stay where you are, by far this is the best place to learn jiujitsu. He is a quality professor and the kids are all very respectful and never have to say or do things out of character which is pretty amazing. Also I live in Johnson City TN and yes it is a drive but for the skill and level of experience Professor Dee has its well worth it. Thank you we truly appreciate you."
