What Our Students Say

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

Christos Konnaris

"Dropping in from out of state. I own my own gym in Louisiana. These guys treated me like family the moment I walked in. Tough group of students and their Professors are top notch. Very clean facility, dressing rooms clean and plenty of space. I came a little early and was able to watch the end of the kids class. I was impressed by the coaching they received and how well the class was ran. Definitely will drop back by while in town."

Melinda Deakins

"Sometimes your kids stay with family or friends after school. Sometimes they go to an after care program. I'm so thankful that we found all of those at One Nation Jiu Jitsu. Over the past few years I've seen my son not only learn self defense & find a passion in Jiu Jitsu, but gain focus, respect & confidence. That's all due to the knowledge and care that Professor's Cliff, Tyler & Jeo pour into the kids on a daily basis. They've been great role models & I cant thank them enough for taking such good care of my son after school & all summer long! You wont find a better group of men to help your kids grow."

Otto Petersen

"Celebrating 6 Months of Growth and Grit at One Nation BJJ It’s been an incredible six months watching our daughter grow through her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey at One Nation BJJ. Under the phenomenal guidance of Coach Tyler, she has gained so much more than physical strength—her confidence, focus, and mental resilience have flourished beyond what we could have imagined. Coach Tyler’s dedication, patience, and ability to teach with both discipline and encouragement have made a lasting impact. We are so grateful for the skills, mindset, and community she’s found on the mats. Here’s to continuing this journey, celebrating progress, and embracing challenges along the way. Thank you, Coach Tyler and the One Nation BJJ family, for creating such an empowering environment!"

Beau Welsh

"We joined One Nation a year ago after we moved to the area. My son (9yr old at the time) was hesitant because he loved his old gym. We were going to try out 3 gyms, but after 1 class at One Nation he was hooked. The coaching has been top notch, his Jiu Jitsu progressed rapidly, but more importantly his understanding of the art has increased. He was doing 2-3 days at the old gym, and quickly increased to 5 days a week because he loved his teammates and coaches. Since then, I have joined and started training. I am 36 years old and was worried I would get hurt rolling with the upper belts. Everyone has been very receptive, pushing me to get better during every roll but also rolling accordingly based on my skill level and goals. There will always be bumps and bruises, but the camaraderie with the coaches and other bobble heads is what I needed in a new part of town. The time spent on the mat with my son are going to be memories we both can reflect on as he gets older. Secretly, I started training so he wouldn’t be able to whoop my butt. Best gym out there. Shout out to Jeo, Cliff, Tyler, Madison, and Austin. They might kick your butt, but it’s well worth it. Wouldn’t trade this place for anything."
