One Nation Jiu Jitsu was founded 10 years ago by Professor Clifford Fonseca, a 3rd degree black belt under Master Luiz Palhares an 8th degree Red/White belt. Professor Cliff was born just outside of Detroit, Michigan, but has lived most of his life in the middle Tennessee area.
Located right here in Smyrna Tennessee, Professor Cliff Fonseca is one of the first two Americans to go from white belt to black belt under the tutelage of Master Luiz Palhares.His students will tell you that when you join Jiu Jitsu Nation you instantly gain family, friends, and confidence. The bonds that are built between the staff and the students separate One Nation Jiu Jitsu from its competitors.

I dropped in for a class recently and had an awesome time. Instructor Jeo was extremely helpful and thorough. He gave me, a white belt, many tips to improve my game. The other students were great to roll with as well. The environment was very friendly and welcoming. I'd highly recommend this school to anyone in the area.

Jiu Jitsu Nation is a wonderful family oriented martial arts studio that we feel very fortunate to have found in Smyrna. The staff takes the time to build a solid relationship with each individual student. Thank you Jiu Jitsu Nation for being a positive influence in the community and making a difference.

We have had our son in JuJitsu Nation for around 2 years now. We found JuJitsu Nation when we were looking for an afterschool program due to some issues at his then current after school program. I went out on a limb because a few years before we tried taekwondo without success. He just wasn't into it and it was a struggle to even complete the free week. However, once he started at JuJitsu Nation he blossomed. I can't say enough kind things about this organization. They have absolutely amazing coachesand professors who you can tell adore the kids. They play and have fun with the kids all while

We have been part of this team for almost 4 years and couldn't be happier with our experience. What started out as an after school program quickly became a critical part of my kids development. The team at One Nation is quick to post updates when there are changes to the school schedule, communicate well with what they are able to offer during planned and unplanned no school days, and have always been both flexible and gracious. We are impressed with the discipline and pride our young kids are learning. All of the professors and coaches are very professional, very polite, and very engaging.

My son (9) has been attending JJN’s after school program for two years now. The level of discipline and skill provided far surpasses any other ASP he’s attended in the past. The staff is extremely professional and Tyler is always communicative when it comes to accommodations for school closures. I’m an active duty military single mom with varying business hours and Professor Cliff, Professor Geo and Coach Tyler are always so understanding of my situation. My son is well cared for and most importantly engaged in a skill that he enjoys and can apply to other areas of his life.

The staff are friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. Their facility is clean, and they offer a firm, but fun environment while teaching the kids self defense. My daughter comes home excited about what she’s learned. Sometimes, she even wants to pin me to the ground and make me tap out! (lol) 5 stars for Jiu Jitsu Nation!

I’ve always had an interest to start martial arts and the first one happened to be Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. When I started it was a very welcoming environment and I’m always eager to learn new techniques and always looking forward to the next class. I’d like to personally thank Reese and Professor Jeovany for coaching me and making me feel like I’m part of the Jiu Jitsu nation team. This place has been the best thing that has happened in 2020 and best thing to have started my new year in 2021. I’d recommend training here 100%!

I can not speak more highly of Jiu Jitsu Nation, its services and the staff who make it all happen. My son began attending their after school program last year in the first grade. He was extremely shy, lacked confidence, and had tremendous difficulty adapting to new situations, new people, or changes to his schedule. Long story short, Jiu Jitsu changed our lives. My son flourished in the gym, and in turn began flourishing in all other aspects of his life. His confidence soared, his ability to adapt to new situations and people was like a whole new kid. The life lessons he has learned and continues

Jiu Jitsu Nation is a family friendly atmosphere. My experience here has been great. I can’t make it as often as I would like but they always make you feel welcome every time you arrive. The coaches and professors are very knowledgeable and do a great job relaying the techniques. I highly recommend.

We signed our son up for summer camp at Jiu Jitsu Nation. Our plan was to send him back to the after school program at his school after the summer was over. However, we found out very quickly that Jiu Jitsu Nation was much more than an after school program or summer camp. Everyone of their Coaches and Professors cares for the kids and really invests in making the kids better people. My son went from being shy and timid kid to a kid with tons of confidence. I saw so much change in him that I joined myself and have found a love for a sport that I knew nothing about 5 months ago. The feeling of family
