What Our Students Say

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

Gina Contel

"Amazing academy with beautiful environment, lead by great athletes, great coaches, and wonderful people! Milton and Alex are passionate about jiu-jitsu and it is what they show daily. Definitely the best place to train in Tennessee 🤩🥋"

Chenxi Zhu

"After being to more than a dozen martial arts gyms, I can say that I will stay here forever. It's not just a great gym to learn technique, but also a heartwarming community. Liberdade is my home in Nashville. Alex and Milton are the best and the most lovable coaches you can ever ask for."

Patrick Chancey

"I dropped into Liberdade Jiu Jitsu while passing through Nashville and it was awesome. First off—Alex was super communicative over email, made booking my first class ridiculously easy. Zack greeted me when I walked in, helped me get checked in for the drop-in and hooked me up with a gi rental—zero hassle. The place? Spotless. Big mat space, strength & conditioning area, clean changing rooms and bathrooms—everything dialed in. But the real highlight? The people. Talented crew, all class acts. Everyone trained smart, rolled hard, and were super open to the instruction I shared. If you’re in Nashville or just passing through, this is a must stop. Liberdade gets it right."
