"A safe and clean place to train. Instructors are focused on teaching at the right pace in a structured fashion."
Indigo Montoya
"The best place in Knoxville to train Jiu-Jitsu the correct & safe way - I am grateful for the skills and friendships I have gained training with Jason at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Knoxville. ✝"
Alex Rudd Fishing
"I chose Gracie Knoxville because of the reputation behind the Gracie name, but what really sealed the deal was a personal call from the owner, Jason. He was incredibly friendly, personable, and inviting right from the start. The atmosphere at the gym reflects that same energy—encouraging, supportive, and welcoming. The instructors, especially Jason, are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about your progress. I’ve felt motivated and respected since day one. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train in a positive environment!"
Autumn Allen
