"I Jason the owner of Academy through my coach when I moved to Nashville and I train with them some Sundays during open mat. Jason and their entire team made me feel welcomed and a part of the crew. Such a great facility and have an awesome pro shop as well as a recovery facility on site. I truly enjoy getting down with them. If you’re looking for a place in millersville area this is the place you want to go. They offer other classes too. Just go in ready to become a part of something great. I’m thankful to train with them when I can."

Gabe Slone
"I arrived at the Academy in 2016 after I had moved in from out of town. I had been training JiuJitsu for eight years when I arrived and was looking for a place that had exceptional instruction and a family friendly atmosphere. The academy exceeded my expectations in both of those areas. I’ve achieved, and exceeded, what I thought was possible for me in JiuJitsu because of the coaches and training partners at the Academy. More important than that I been accepted into a community that’s produced life long friends that are like family to not only myself, but my entire family. It’s truly a special place full of exceptional people. I can not recommend the Academy high enough to anyone that is looking to better themselves physically or mentally."
