I decided on One Nation after trying out a couple Jiu Jitsu places in Nashville. Previously I trained at an Ohio gym so I had a good idea of what I was looking for. Some things I love about the place -Main Instructor Jeo's attentiveness to his students. Knows the names and constantly goes around helping during drills -Knowledgeable instruction -Clean and spacious gym -Tough and friendly group of people -Big shelf of medals and belts from different competitions Would highly recommend whether you're a newbie to the sport or looking to compete! read more

Find your Tribe, cause it takes a village. One Nation Jui Jitsu turned out to be the best after school solution for our ASD son ever. Irony: He never took one class, and has been attending for years. We needed an "After School" program to pick up our son, and keep him for a short window of time while my wife and I finish our work days during the week. Finding a place that works with kids with a variety of needs like Autism is daunting to say the least. Trusting anyone with your child is scary, but finding someone that will: Listen, care, learn their personality, and actually want to make a personal connection is PRICELESS. Everyone one at One Nation embodies these principals. As I said, our son never took a single class. We even purchased him a "Gee" or outfit in hopes he would participate in the Jui Jitsu classes after school. Not all of the students at Jui Jitsu Nation do the classes. The family (I do mean family) here are genuine people that establish respectful and caring boundaries. Everything you could ever hope for, and likely do not see at a conventional "Child Care" environment, is standard practice at One Nation Jui Jitsu like: Respect, Accountability, Compasion, and Leadership. You can also learn Jui Jitsu if interested. Bryce is growing up, and no longer needs the after school support, so sadly we will be parting ways. Special thanks to Tyler, Master (Owner) Cliff, "Professor Cheetos" (Bryce called him that...actual its Geo), and the entire One Nation Jiu Jitsu Family for making our son welcomed to be him self. Martial arts are not for everyone, but I highly recommend keeping an open mind. Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, and Judo were foundation built as a youth that still serve me to this day. It is MORE than self defense. It is Self Esteem, and life skills we all need. I hope that you are fortunate enough to find in your own towns, the same attributes and character we were so fortunate to experiece at One Nation Jui Jitsu. Thank you, AJ. https://youtu.be/f8sCErrBPeg https://onenationjiujitsu.com/ read more

I was in town from Greensboro, NC on business and wanted to roll while off work. Jiu Jitsu Nation welcomed me to their facility, let me work in with them and participate in their classes at no cost. Tremendous people, with exceptional skill and a warm heart for visitors. I learned a lot in my short visit and highly encourage anyone interested in the art of Jiu Jitsu to give them a chance. You won't be disappointed and will likely make lifelong friends. From those looking to compete to those who just want to get in shape while learning self defense, there's a place for everyone. read more

One Nation Jiu Jitsu - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Near Me - Smyrna, Tennessee

Jiu jitsu nation is a wonderful place to train. Everyone welcomes you with open arms. Professors Cliff and Tony are always available to answer questions and help better technique. I actually wish I could stay longer and keep training here but I know for sure I will come back and continue the process and learn from The professors and my peers. Everyone is engaged in the program and willing to learn. Different body shapes and sizes strengthen technique and knowledge and they are all about. Thank you for opening your doors to a stranger and making me feel like part of the team. Until next time, I wish everyone at Jiu Jitsu Nation and continued read more

I wish I had done this years ago. You will be sore. You will be tired. You will be frustrated at how a person 50 pounds lighter than you can put you on your back. You will be frustrated at how much technique and skill this takes. And you will regret not doing it sooner. It is full of people who want to teach you in a place where it is safe but definitely challenging. read more

My son started going here nearly a year ago. I was interested, coming from an athletic background when I was younger. I am a type II diabetic, and was looking for some type of exercise, so I decided after the first off the year that I would join. In 8 weeks, I have begun my journey learning Jiu Jitsu. I have lost 20 pounds, and my A1C has dropped from 6.9 to 5.8. I'm gaining flexibility, and the encouragement from my classmates added with the physical benefits keep me going every night. It isn't easy, it isn't painless, but I and my family are worth it! read more

My family and I are so happy to have Jiu Jitsu nation in our life's! I was seriously in panic over what we was going to do with our son during the summer break. I'm one of those moms who is very over protective and has anxiety when it comes to trusting someone else with her son and it's like it just came natural with the people at Jiu Jitsu nation. Like they was family since day one. My son gets in the car every day and tells me all the things he learned and all the fun exciting things they done and just loves going there. read more

I can't say enough about Jiu Jitsu Nation. Our son has been attending a little over a year now. It has been wonderful for him. He has gained so much confidence since he started. He came to us last week and told us he is ready to compete. We are so excited. Not only are the coaches amazing and truly care about the children, but it is also like one big family. The older children help all of the younger children out and it's truly amazing to watch them all grow together. I will have to say, this has been one of the best investments we have made in our son. It builds character, confidence and pushes them beyond their limits. We are hoping to be part of the Jiu Jitsu Nation family for a long time. read more
