Gracie Barra Murfreesboro 225 North Front Street, Murfreesboro, TN 37130

"I really enjoyed learning from Mike when I was there. He is a laid back teacher and easy to talk to. He takes extra care to make sure no one is left behind and listens when we need help. Learning BJJ with him has been a great experience. I've learned a lot about the sport, learned a lot about myself, and found a community of honorable, dedicated people. I miss them all!"

"Professor Mike is an excellent coach. He is always pushing others to be better and often re-evaluating himself in order to grow and be better. He is also great at creating a friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone in this gym is always incredibly supportive of each other and I always feel welcomed and cared about after coming back on the mats after long absences."

"Professor Mike is an amazing individual. He taught my son how to be a good person and how to think and use his head. All while learning BJJ. His is amazing with all of the kids. My son loved every single class he attended with Professor Mike. Great atmosphere, Great place to learn BJJ and life skills."

"This is one of the best academies and Mike westcott the professor is one of the nicest and best persons I've ever met in life and on the mats. If you're looking for a competition jiu jitsu or you're just looking for self-defense this is the place for you go check it out."

"We recently moved to the area and my son wanted to continue his training. He tried the free class and really liked it. Professor Mike was very welcoming as well as all the other students. All skill levels are welcome and encouraged. There is a diverse group of people and skill levels so everyone has someone on their level to train with. We would recommend Gracie Barra Murfreesboro to everyone interested in the sport."
