  • Member Dossier - Kids class interview

    As an instructor I do not get many chances to get direct feedback from students without pulling them off to the side during a class. I decided instead to interview my students to see how well they
    felt they were progressing. Below is a short interview from my student A.S Did you want to try Martial Arts before your parents suggested it? If so why?
    -no, because I did not know about it. I tried gymnastics and soccer because I liked being active. I stopped doing soccer and tried jiu jitsu then decided just to do jiu jitsu. I quit gymnastics because the coaches where bad. What where your first impressions of Jiu Jitsu Class?
    -I thought it was amazing, I thought I would have a lot of ....

I’ve been going for a few months and I am hooked. The facility is top notch but it is the coaches and the energy in each class that keep me coming. Coach Tim and Coach Austin push me everyday to be better and get stronger. So glad I found this place!!!

Leal Legacy

Out of a family of 5 (soon to be 6) 3 of us train at Nashville MMA, and couldn’t be happier or more proud to be a part of the gym’s community. There is no doubt that within a few years, our whole family will be training there.

The coaches are deeply skilled, deeply knowledgeable, deeply passionate, deeply patient, and are engaged with both veterans and beginners alike. We’ll be a Nashville MMA family for years to come.

It is a great environment with different classes all day. From boxing to judo. Great place to turn yourself into an animal! But also learning proper techniques. I have learned so much in just this 1 month that I been here and I look forward to what I can learn and possible opportunities in the future with this gym!
