Tennessee Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy has been servicing Spring Hill and Maury County for over a decade. We pride ourselves in being a family friendly facility. With over 4,000 square feet of space, we can accommodate several programs. We have programs for kids and adults. Come in and see why we are Spring Hill's premier Martial arts and fitness facility.
Wrestling involves techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. Hands down the most family friendly gym I've ever joined. Our whole family trains here, and I couldn't ask for a better environment to raise my two children in! Owners Ray and Rachel truly have a family approach to running their gym, and the classes are phenomenal.

Hands down the most family friendly gym I've ever joined. Our whole family trains here, and I couldn't ask for a better environment to raise my two children in! Owners Ray and Rachel truly have a family approach to running their gym, and the classes are phenomenal. They have taught my 13 and almost 7 year old discipline, self respect, and self defense.
A: The first part of the class consists of a quick warm-up which includes stretching, core work, and movement drills. In the "beginner's only" class, the warm-up is limited to quick movement and basic technique drills. After the warm-up, the instructor(s) will show the technique of the day, typically covering a specific topic of the week.
The Judo program ad Tennessee Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is the home to the Tennessee Judo club lead by Jim Irvine. Judo is offered 3 days a week at our academy and is very fun and demanding. Jim is one of the best Judo coaches in Tennessee and strives on giving his students the best instruction possible.

There are few true martial arts schools. I've seen many whose instructors are... Less than stellar, let's say. Not the case here. Best school I've seen in 30+ years of practice all across the states. I've seen one other as good, in Hawaii many years ago. You'll get knowledgeable instructors great coaches and true knowledge. Plus one of the best atmospheres I've ever seen. Can't be beat.

Trained here four years....
What I loved:
1) Still mostly cool folks and a family-oriented, close-knit vibe (but see below).
2) Ray (head coach) is a good dude.
3) A couple of top competitors here, so you can test yourself.
4) All class types at a price most local gyms only give one. No “nickel and dime” stuff.
5) You learn actual fighting (unlike your local McDojo…needs saying).
Now the “tough love” lol:
1) Attentiveness/Professionalism from (some) coaches when money was paid (fundraiser, private lessons… still – way later – waiting on delivery), even after reminders.

I had the good fortune of training at TNBJJ for a week while housesitting for a friend of mine in Spring Hill. I am extremely pleased with the experience and pray I have the opportunity to return and train here more. On two occasions, 10+ legit black belts were present for the evening BJJ class. The instruction was clear and easily translatable to practical application. The culture is extremely friendly and inviting, while not compromising quality. The facilities are top notch and even host a children's play room so that parent's can train while their little ones are entertained.

Can’t speak highly enough of this place. The people are so positive, talented, and welcoming of everyone. Whether you have years of marital arts experience or have never worked out a day in your life, you’ll be welcomed with open arms! They’re fantastic with kids and have plenty of programs for kids of all ages. And the adult classes are top notch. You won’t find a better, more family-friendly martial arts gym anywhere. Definitely check this place out.

This place is awesome! Best coaches in the area. Family friendly gym. We have been members for 2+ years and every day we are greeted when we walk in! Couldn’t ask for better people to be around our children and to train under! I recommend the gym to anyone and everyone that wants great competition, with great teammates and awesome coaching!

This gym is amazing! There is a such a positive and affirming family atmosphere. Ray is affirming and funny. The kids work hard, persevere through challenges, and overcome their self doubts to see how effort leads to growth. This is truly one of the best experiences my son has ever had. I highly recommend this gym to any family interested in enrolling their children in a martial arts program.

This is the premier Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu location in Spring Hill. I have been training at this gym since 2009, and I can tell you there’s no other gym like it. The quality of teachers and knowledge at all levels and age groups is unmatched. We are just like a huge family, no egotistical individuals in the gym. I highly recommend coming in and trying it out to see for yourself.

I can’t recommend this gym enough. What Ray and his family of coaches bring to our family is a blessing.
Our children have grown up there. I have seen them apply the life lessons learned from Ray and co. These kids are better for being here and learning from these great instructors.
They even have Us parents going now. Good workout. My wife and I started classes just a few months ago, and have met and rolled with some great students and instructors. We’ll be back when this quarantine is over. One team, one family, one Army.

A wonderful gym. I count finding TBJJA as the luckiest thing to happen to my family after moving to Spring Hill. The kids program is amazing and you can see the dedication & heart that Coach Ray & the other coaches have for that program. The adult class are amazing and anyone that feels hesitant to try it out should just get on the mats and try it out. It took me a while to get out there and now I can't imagine not having Jiu Jitsu in my life.
Thanks to Ray, Rachel and the entire team at TBJJA for building a true community.
