What Our Students Say

Alfredo Morales
"Fantastic place! Coach Cody really takes his time to teach the kids about the fundamentals of jujitsu while having fun. I am honestly flabbergasted to have a place like this in northern MS. Great atmosphere, great training and great experience. My daughter love it and I can definitely see some improvement in her technique in such a short period of time."
Brendan Dillard
"I’ve had the opportunity to train at this gym and have been really impressed by the wide variety of training available, backed by a wealth of experience. Everyone I’ve rolled with has been incredibly helpful, with many taking the time to teach me new techniques and provide valuable feedback. The gym also has a fantastic community atmosphere, making it a great place to grow both as an athlete and as part of a supportive team."
Steven
"I joined tupelo jui jitsu looking for a fun way to get back into shape, while also hoping to find something my wife and I could enjoy doing together. It's been an amazing experience to say the least, I've lost 17lbs since I started and have thoroughly enjoyed doing it. Cody is a great coach and the entire place has a supportive atmosphere, everyone belongs here. I'd recommend it to anyone. My 6 year old son also takes the children's class, and absolutely loves it."
Chris Cirone
"I think this is the best you’re going to get in north Mississippi for martial arts. If you’re looking for good guidance, a sense of community, and all around hospitality! Go here it is worth every cent."
