What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Clay Mayfield
"I've trained at dozens of Jiu-Jitsu gyms (and own one), and can say Coach Felix and his team run a great gym at Artista! Professional classes, very clean environment, and tough, technical AOJ-style Jiu-Jitsu. The Showers and locker rooms are clean and large - always a nice plus! They also routinely bring in world-class coaches to share knowledge with the students and Nashville Jiu-Jitsu community. If you're in Green Hills area, this is a great option Clay Mayfield - BJJ Black Belt - 3x Pans Medalist"
Ariella Teramzian
"I visited Artista while on vacation and can't wait to come back. The facility was absolutely beautiful. Huge mat spaces and big clean locker rooms and showers. I had a lot of fun and some great rolls in Coach Kevin's class. They have a bunch of classes at all different times. Highly recommend!!"
Victoria Locke
"My daughter has been going to Artista for the past 3 years. We LOVE Artista. A special shout out to Coach Kevin. He is an amazing kids coach. He pushes them, but it’s because he exudes confidence in them. He genuinely cares what they have to say. He is so encouraging and knowledgeable. He’s patient, but does not tolerate anything other than discipline and mutual respect. A class with Coach Kevin is fun, educational, motivational, and inspiring. We are so fortunate to have him as an intrinsic role model in our daughter’s formative years. My daughter has developed such great self-confidence and discipline; we owe a lot of that to Artista, to Coach Kevin, to Professor Felix, Val, and to the other coaches. Thank you!"
Jonah Wolf
"I visited Artista BJJ while in Nashville for the weekend and had a fantastic experience! I joined the nogi class and stayed for some rolling afterward. From the moment I walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The instructor was knowledgeable, professional, and clearly dedicated to helping students improve their skills. The atmosphere was friendly and supportive, with everyone open to rolling and giving tips. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town—Artista BJJ is a great gym for anyone looking to train in Nashville!"
