Tennessee BJJ Academy Murfreesboro

"My 4 year old is loving these classes and is learning so much... but having a lot of fun too."

"We love this gym! Our kids have been attending Jiu Jitsu kids classes for two years. This is not an after-school program, it’s a dedicated class that actually teaches your kids the discipline and art of Jiu Jitsu. Coach Earl keeps the class size small so each child gets the attention they need. I highly recommend this gym for anyone who wants their kids to learn to defend themselves and build confidence."

"I chose TN BJJ Academy over several other schools I visited for three primary reasons: 1. The facility is clean with all the bags, mats, and training aids to learn both BJJ and stand up arts like boxing or Muay Thai. 2. The head instructor and owner explained that he emphasized real self defense BJJ over sport Jiu Jitsu, even though the school students are successful in competitions 3. The school has separate and outstanding instructors in Tae Kwon Do, boxing, wrestling, and BJJ. Now that I have been attending classes for around 6 months, I have even more reasons for being glad I chose this school. The most important thing is the classes are fun! All the students have a good time laughing while we learn techniques because Coach Earl (the head of the school) makes the moves and the ways we might get them wrong funny. This leads to a light hearted atmosphere while we add skills. Also, the coach makes sure no one rolls or works to aggressively. This is critical because BJJ is challenging enough without worrying if the experienced students are trying to crush beginners. In this school, that has never happened to me because the school will not allow it. Most importantly, the way the classes are taught emphasizes character development including learning to focus while under stress, learning to relax while working hard, being mentally tough when in bad positions, and the warrior spirit. From children to adults, everyone can benefit from these character traits, and you definitely learn them at TN BJJ Academy. Joining the school and regularly going to classes has been by far the best investment I have made in myself. I only wish I had started training when I was a child! At least I am doing BJJ now and enjoying the benefits."

"I was looking for a place to train and when i found Nemesis MMA i knew i was at the right place. I found coaches that were mentors and a family that i needed. My whole family including my children train at Nemesis. Coach Danny Jones took me in and made me family. I can never repay him for the things he has taught me and my children. From world class fighters to teaching children to be leaders, Nemesis is the best!"

"You will never find a better MMA gym anywhere. This place makes you feel welcome from day one. This is the place you go into and a month later you more friends and family than you had when you went in. Everyone in here is willing to teach and to train anytime you want. They all hang out together. they all go to watch UFC together. They all go to eachothers kids birthday parties. If you are here you are family. If a parent has a kid with problems in school or attitude problems send them here. The coaches will mentor along with everyone else. In addition to the best atmopsphere that I can personally imagine a gym and making life long friends you can get all the training you could want here. They have every style and top notch coaches. Goto a fight, boxing match, or jiu jitsu tournament and you will quickly see the caliber of training at Nemesis MMA when all of thier students are holding up gold medals. If you dont beleive me then go in there for yourself. they always have a free try before you buy period. The prices are great as well. The coaches are all good people. Bad people (like students that are bullies) dont last long in this enviroment (like I said, everyone is family). This gym has no egos and everyone is very humble. I really just cannot say enough good things about this gym. For everything from losing weight to not being picked on this is the place to be. Hopefully I will see you there on the mat!"
