Hannah Forrester
"My husband and two boys (7 and 4) have been training here and they love it. The coaches are great, they know jiu jitsu and how to teach it well. They are awesome with the kids classes, and offer training for competitions when the time is right. If you are interested in classes just stop by and watch sometime!"
Jonathan Salley
"I can't say enough great things about this place. In 9 months I went from a chunky truck driver to an in shape NAGA gold medalist, and an IBJJF Bronze medalist, the results speak for themselves. I'm humbled and very proud to be a part of the family at Temple Underground Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Boxing. The staff is seasoned in many styles of fighting and grappling, also meditation. The kids program is outstanding, my kids are part of it as well. Their confidence has shot through the roof since they have been a part of it, if you are still on the fence just stop by and talk to G."
Michael
"Training with Coach Gee has been a life changing experience for me and a journey I’ll continue for years to come. He is helping me to find myself, and be true to that knowledge. He teaches me that BJJ is not the control of someone else, but the control of oneself. Through breathing, yoga, meditation, and training … I have a new balance in my life. I’m thankful for the opportunity to work with such a dedicated professor of this discipline. There’s no doubt you will have the same results here."
Brian Rodgers
"Best gym in area. Coaches are very knowledgeable and are great teachers. This gym is appropriate for all ages and skill levels. As a beginner Masters Boxer I feel I get the same instruction as the young bulls in the gym. Anyone who has been to any boxing gyms know that this is not the case most places. Thanks to the staff at Temple Underground for reviving the boxing scene in Morristown TN."
