What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Gabrielle Armour
"I have been going here to train for a little over a year now. I originally started training at the behest of my neurologist as a way to keep my strength up and stay healthy in the face of my recent MS diagnosis. Training here has become so much more than a pursuit for health. The Tennessee BJJ Academy Murfreesboro has provided me with an entire community of people committed to discipline and growth. Jiu Jitsu is a lifestyle and a martial art. When training, you need the right community of people who truly care about you to make you the best that you can be. I found my people, and I believe that you will find your people here too."

"The owners here do such a great job of creating a welcoming, judgement-free environment and also keep me accountable with check-ins if I miss a class. Can't recommend TBJJA enough! When I first started, I really appreciated the Friday evening women's-only class (and still do). Not sure I would have even tried BJJ without that option."
Krysten Jacobs
"Our son loves his little kids BJJ class! He enjoys the coaches, his classmates, and the atmosphere - perfect combination of structure, learning and fun for a 3.5 year old! He enjoys going to class so much that he asks if he can go everyday! Thank you Coach Tierra and the rest of the team for a great first experience for him! We recommend them 100%!"
Rachel P
"This place is the best. If you’re looking for a workout that isn’t boring and will teach you actual skill, this is the place for you. If you want to wow your friends and family with a sick rear naked choke, look no further. This gym will help you reach whatever martial arts goals you may have! I’ve been coming here multiple times a week, every week, for almost 7 years, and I still like these people. They are the absolute best and will make you a total badass."
