What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Dom Manzella
"This is a very nice place to take your kids to learn jiu jitsu. The staff is really courteous and genuine with the kids. Parents can watch in the waiting room behind some glass and it has a very familial feel. You can feel a sense of community there. If your kids are looking for some exercise and to learn a valuable skill you should give these guys a try."
Ryan Orange
"I personally enjoy striking, but I’ve mainly focused on Jiu-Jitsu (though I’ve also attended striking sessions). For Jiu-Jitsu, I primarily attended the morning classes, where everyone was passionate and taught high-level techniques. They were always kind and welcoming. (The afternoon classes are great too!) Highly recommend!"
Joshua Ely
"Tennessee BJJ Academy is amazing! I’ve been in and out of martial arts for 25 years and the experience here is second to none. The coaches and students are welcoming. The training is first class and safe. The facility is clean and huge. And so many black belts! I’ve been to multiple gyms where even the main instructor is not a black belt and here your every day lunch class will have three! Such an honor to roll with people with so much experience and humility."
William Kropach
"TBJJA is filled with friendly competitors -- they have been good to me while I was in town visiting my brother and his family -- they let me train with them while preparing for a tournament -- they gave good advice and had great drills and I did well in my tournament -- I appreciate their hospitality, competitiveness and friendliness -- they have top competitors at all belt levels and many of them compete and win in tournaments but best of all they are kind and friendly. My brother and nephew go to this gym regularly and they love it and they have both improved so much, they both competed and did well in tournaments -- its always a fun but competitive atmosphere here and I love visiting. Many thanks to the TBJJA community, I'd recommend anyone to train there."
