I decided on One Nation after trying out a couple Jiu Jitsu places in Nashville. Previously I…read moretrained 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!

Find your Tribe, cause it takes a village. One Nation Jui Jitsu turned out to be the best after…read moreschool 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/

I always thought that training BJJ would be intimidating or impossible to start. I'm happy to report that I was wrong! The instructors/teammates at Legion create an awesome learning environment. Professor Sean is an excellent instructor and a world champion. I think one of the best things is that they have something to offer for every different type of attendee. I joined to test myself and to get in shape. There are others who aspire to be at the highest levels of competition. There are others who are aspiring/ or current professional MMA fighters. There are people of all backgrounds and skill levels. The cool thing is that we all end up working together and learning from each other. Being in the presence of dedicated BJJ and MMA professionals is very inspiring. The discipline required for learning BJJ is something I've been able to apply to my personal and professional life.
