From the reviews
I can’t say enough good things about Profectus Jiu Jitsu in Lebanon! As a female purple belt, I’ve trained at multiple gyms, and this one stands out in every way. The environment is welcoming, technical, and high-energy—a perfect mix for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
I stopped in for a few classes when I was traveling through Lebanon for work, and I was super impressed. They welcomed me with open arms, and treated me like family. They are a really great bunch of folks, and extremely good instructors. I will definitely be back if I find myself in the Nashville area.
With no grappling experience ever. I started going to Profectus about 6 months ago. With the help of great coaches and great training partners, I competed in a BJJ tournament and ended up taking home the Gold! These coaches know their craft and will help you learn anything you’d like to when it comes to BJJ.
Great gym, great vibe, great people, great instruction. Just all around great. If you are looking to start your journey in Jiu Jitsu or are new to the Wilco area and already train but are looking for a home… search no further, profectus Wilco is where it’s at!

Profectus Jiu-Jitsu Wilco. 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 Profectus Jiu-Jitsu Wilco.
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.
