What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Nicholas Blumkin
"A little over a year ago my family and I joined GFT Tennessee after looking at a few other local BJJ schools in and around Memphis. Almost immediately, we felt "at home." Our children, 15 and 11 were a bit apprehensive to start a new school, however their fears and apprehension quickly faded away when they met the kids coach Jason Foucha. The kids program is fantastic, and we've seen both of our kids grow more in a year than we thought possible. My wife and I were welcomed into the adult class and have never looked back. The coaches, David Morris and Jason Foucha are fantastic. The friendships and comradery formed within the walls of GFT Tennessee are true and lasting both on the mats and off. GFT is more than a school, it's a family."

Joshua
"Great atmosphere for adults and kids. Dave and Jason are always super helpful when explaining the techniques and will take time to explain things one on one and with the entire class for questions. Highly recommend"
