Teen & Adult Jiu Jitsu in East Nashville
Jiu Jitsu teaches you to control and submit a resisting opponent using leverage, timing, and technique instead of size or strength. It is one of the most effective forms of self-defense in the world, and one of the most addictive ways to stay in shape.
At Legion East Nashville, teens (ages 13 and up) and adults train in both the Gi and No Gi. New students start in our fundamentals classes, where our coaches break the basics down step by step, so you never feel thrown into the deep end.
Gi and No Gi
Training in the Gi builds precise grips and a slower, more technical game. No Gi is faster and closer to wrestling. Training both makes you a more complete grappler, and our class schedule makes it easy to do.
Open Mat Throughout the Week
Open mat runs throughout the week, so you can drill new techniques, get extra rounds, or catch up on a missed class whenever it fits your week. Check the schedule for current class and open mat times.
From First Class to First Competition
Some members train for fitness and stress relief, others to compete. Our coaching team includes medal winners at events like the Nashville Grappling Games and the ADCC Nashville Open, and they are happy to help you prepare, whenever you are ready.
Want to round out your game on your feet? Our Judo classes are the perfect complement.
