Renzo Gracie Nashville Jiu Jitsu

"Renzo Gracie Nashville is the best place to train in the state of Tennessee. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and the students are helpful and encouraging. I switched gyms a little over 6 months ago and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you want to dramatically increase your BJJ Skills, train Muay Thai, or be around a myriad of friendly people, this is the place to be. Shawn harbors a culture of hard work and respect. I walk in everyday knowing I'm going to receive fantastic training and be uplifted by everyone!"

"Immersing myself in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Renzo Gracie Nashville has been an eye-opening experience. The school's approach to training is centered around honing technique and mastering the fundamentals. What truly impresses me is the level of detail the coaches delve into during each session. With a variety of classes offered, I've had the opportunity to absorb different techniques from multiple coaches. Whether it's a basic move or an advanced technique, the coaches are meticulous in breaking down each step, offering a deeper understanding that significantly improves execution. Moreover, the environment they've created fosters a genuine sense of camaraderie among practitioners. It's more than a school; it's a community that encourages everyone to excel together, regardless of skill level. The emphasis on refining fundamentals ensures a strong foundation. With a multitude of classes available, the school caters to various skill levels and schedules, creating an inclusive environment for learning and growth. Being part of Renzo Gracie Nashville and learning from their talented coaches has been a blessing. I highly recommend Renzo Gracie Nashville for anyone seeking not only to learn BJJ but to truly master the art with a focus on technique, attention to detail, and supportive coaching."

"Excellent instruction at this gym. Have been to several martial arts studios and this place easily has the most impressive instructors. Johnny and Lance are amazing !! Many other great instructors too!! Shawn Williams is a BJJ genius and Nashville is very lucky to have him. The culture here is extremely positive and helpful and the facility is very clean!!"

"RGN is hands down the best Jiu jitsu gym in Nashville. I’ve been a member for over two years and have loved every second. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, and so friendly. Learning Jiu Jitsu from Shawn Williams is second to none and he’s extremely dedicated to passing on all of his knowledge. I typically go to Johnny’s Tuesday/Thursday classes, he’s the best and most encouraging coach you can ask for! The recently added Muay Thai program (shout out to PJ) added just another facet of what makes this place so great. Between the members’ camaraderie and coaching staff, you’ll feel right at home."

"(Drop in) Best BJJ in Nashville hands down. Shawn has built an academy that has the highest level instruction, friendliest knowledge sharing community, and one of the cleanest gyms around. On top of that if you know anything about BJJ Shawn has been at ground zero for the evolution and revolution of BJJ in the US since the beginning and it shows from the moment you walk in the front door."
