What Our Students Say

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

Michelle Engebretson

"Absolutely incredible coaching staff! Kids BJJ program is fantastic - they do a really good job of balancing the discipline needed to teach these moves safely while still having a lot of fun. I've also really loved the adult program. Even if you have zero experience in the sport, they do a great job breaking things down and teaching fundamentals. For more experienced people, the coaches will help fine tune your game so it's the best it can be. Clean facilities and great place to train!"

Yulia Dutch

"Checkmat Jiujitsu is fairly new to the area, and it deserves all the local support it can get. My teenage son has been attending for approx. 3 yrs now, and I've been consistently impressed. * For the little ones: They have an amazing kids class! I've seen Coach Caleb in action, and he's fantastic with the children. * Teens: The adult classes are a great option for teenagers. The young adults training there are incredibly dedicated and would make excellent role models. * Young Adults: Looking to get in shape and meet some great people? This is the place to be. * Ladies: Don't miss the kickboxing class! It seems to be ladies-only at the Mt. Juliet location right now. I've witnessed some incredible transformations over the past 3 years. Whether you're looking to get fit yourself or find a great activity for your kids, I highly recommend checking out Checkmat Jiujitsu!"

Keller Brown

"I've been training BJJ here for 2 years now. When I moved to Nashville, I tried multiple gyms in the area to get a feel for the scene. As soon as I stepped foot in Coach Caleb and Professor Sebastian's gym in Mt. Juliet, I knew I'd found the right one. These instructors are intelligent, technical, and effective while being approachable, kind, and intentional. Our curriculum here rotates through defense and offense from all positions (guards/entanglements/standing/etc). It is easy for athletes at any level to learn, and their depth of knowledge will take each student as far as they want to go. I would highly recommend this gym (and it's FREE 1 Week Trial) to any and all that are interested. You won't regret meeting this crew and enjoying the art that is BJJ!"

"I absolutely love the people here. I’ve never felt more part of a team. I have learned so much about kickboxing and myself through my journey here and I couldn’t be more thankful. Even though I am a woman I feel treated the same way as the males. We are all pushed to work hard and I feel more independent than ever. Couldn’t have done it without the amazing Coach Sebastian, we love you!! 👊🔥"
