From the reviews
You wont find a better jiu jitsu gym environment nearby. The training is specific, detailed and very functional. If you want to train to compete, or to be safe for your law enforcement job, or to just get in shape and meet new friends, this is the place.
Had a blast at the recent grand opening of Fight Zone TN! Professor Gabriel was very welcoming and I'm so happy for his new gym! It was a packed house and everyone was super kind and trained hard!!! Definitely had a great time and look forward to visiting again.
Profesor Gabriel is awesome! My son has trained under him for 6 years. He cares so much for everyone at his gym. Congrats on your new gym Professor!
I dropped in at Fightzone after a friend invited me to train, and I was blown away. The gym is super clean, with multiple bathrooms, an easy check-in system, and a front desk full of gear. There’s even a family viewing area so parents can watch without crowding the mats.
New to BJJ? Start at Fight Zone Jiu-Jitsu
Fight Zone Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Fight Zone Jiu-Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
