I wish I could give more than 5 stars for Josh's customer service! Even though I wasn't able to sign up in the end, he was unbelievably understanding and spent so much time answering all my questions. His passion is contagious, and it's genuinely hard to walk away from such a positive environment. Highly recommend this place just for him! :)
My girlfriend and I came in under a current promotion and after our first 4 classes we are beyond satisfied with the way we are treated, taught, and taken care of. Josh has been tremendously helpful throughout our fitness journey and we can’t wait for the months to come!
This was my first time at the gym training BJJ as I was attending a conference in Memphis and wanted to check it out. Josh made the logistics of training here for the first time easy and simple. The waiver was online and he was quick to respond to questions about parking and fees. Conor lead the 6am class, which began with a dedicated warm-up, followed by a light live drill before getting into the new material. From there, we had plenty of time for rounds at the end. Both Josh, the owner, and Conor participated in the live rounds. Despite being a 6am class on Tuesday morning, there were at least 6 of us training. The facilities were clean and made sense as a gym. Anytime I come back to Memphis, I'll be training here!
Highly recommend this place for BJJ in Memphis! Josh is very welcoming and has a team of very talented and warm professors and coaches for both the kids class as well as the adults! My son trained and made friends and was able to play in the kids room while we finished up class. Randy and Amanda are highly trained and very hospitable, making the adult class have a fun and learning environment.
So many great things about this place, I don’t even know where to start. The coaches are outstanding, and the family-friendly environment makes it feel like home. I would 100% recommend this gym to anyone — especially parents! My 9-year-old son started his BJJ journey here in December 2024, and it’s been amazing to watch his growth. He’s not only learning self-defense but also applying discipline and confidence both on and off the mat. So far, he’s competed twice and earned 4 medals. More importantly, he’s gained knowledge, friendships, and unforgettable experiences at every tournament. Big thank you to Coach Josh and the entire team for creating such a positive and supportive atmosphere. When I asked my son what he thinks about the gym, his exact words were: “Best gym in the world — I wouldn’t change it for anything, from the coaches to the classmates.”
