This is a great gym to go to if you’ve considered training martial arts. If you ever have any questions, you’ll be able to find thorough answers that you can implement. It’s a great place for all skill levels too. The couches will push you, but it’s because everyone wants to help each other be better. 10/10, I recommend this gym to anyone that I can.

Memphis Judo & Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic gym for learning and training in several martial arts disciplines. The gym is very family oriented and presents a professional learning environment that is suitable for children, while still being able to attract competitive and recreational adults to train there. If you are a novice, the coaches and staff will welcome you and introduce you to very simple and effective techniques. If you are experienced, you will find a weekly schedule of classes that is full of opportunities to train with like-minded individuals at times that will be able to accommodate a busy work or family schedule.

Fantastic place to train BJJ! Lots of mat space, everybody is very friendly and helpful! Jeff Presley is a phenomenal instructor. My wrestling skills were greatly improved after just 3 classes with him! His experience in submission wrestling and teaching methods are next level. I highly recommend this gym!

The bjj program is top-notch -- I have actively improved since joining about a year ago. I receive individualized feedback, and there is a great womens program. The kickboxing classes are challenging, and definitely provide a great calorie burn and build strength. Cant recommend this gym enough.

Love every single instructor and their different styles. Been going for almost a year and have noticed a big difference in my body tone! The only complaint is how hot it gets in the building in the hot weather.... Nice staff & great workouts! Highly recommend. 🤩

Review №22

I was looking for a place to learn the basics of boxing and after the first session I knew this was for me. This place has such a welcoming and motivating atmosphere that honestly half the time I don’t even realize how hard I’m working out. I’m so focused on learning a new skill that I blink and time is up yet I’m exhausted! Even after a few classes I can tell both physically and mentally I’m already being pushed more than ever before! No matter your skill level you’re always receiving feedback to improve from either teachers or fellow boxers around you. I can’t wait to continue going here, and who knows, maybe one day I will be the one giving feedback to a novice boxer instead of receiving it. Overall, great place and an even better community—they are truly a family! I will 110% recommend this gym to anyone who asks.

Talking all ages!!! Hands down one of the best facilities I have been to!!! If you are serious about learning or just trying to shed a couple pounds for the summer or overall health and fitness this place is for you!!! Trust me when I say...You will get pushed by the instructors and if you have a competitive spirit the other people working beside you will push you as well. Glad this place opened back up due to the COVID pandemic!!! Only negative thing I can say is that it should be 24hours!!! Great job you guys keep servicing Memphis well!!

After a spinal injury and nerve damage I was terrified of working out again. The instructors are so sweet and worked with me to bring my strength back. Im stronger now than I was pre-injury! I learned to focus on what I CAN do versus what I CANT do. I highly recommend taking classes here!

Memphis judo and jiujitsu is THE BEST training facility that is in the city. No other place treats every member with so much respect and makes learning martial arts so fun. It is an amazing family environment and just by watching. Everyone is a family. Everytime I walk in, it feels like home. The best people and facility in all of the Memphis area. I’ve been too countless martial arts gyms and nothing even compares to MBJJ. All instructors are incredibly talented and teach so well. Owner, Dave Ferguson, is so welcoming, kind, understanding, and motivational. Manager, Blake Smythe, is also very welcoming, understanding, and helpful. Best staff and team I’ve ever experienced.

Review №57

I signed up my son for Jiu-Jitsu and he enjoyed it for three months. The instructors were good. He just had a lot on his plate with sports and school and something had to give. That’s when things went downhill.I notified the owner that my son would not continue with the classes. I told him I would pay out the month. I signed a contract and completed the required three months of the six month agreement. The owner says I owe three months after the date my son stopped going. He is charging my credit card monthly. So under his logic if my son stopped going in the sixth month I would owe him three more months? Stay away. I made a mistake and don’t want others to follow in my footsteps.

Needed some last minute training on Friday and hoped for the best. Mr. Blake was prompt and professional on messenger. We were able to drop into the 5:00 kids class and it didn’t disappoint! Thank you for the solid drills and rolls, it really helped us in the Saturday tournament! Highly recommend this place for beginners and advance students of all ages.

Review №62

I chose this gym solely for convenience of location. I wish I had read the reviews. When you have a daily routine, you tend to go to kickboxing classes at the same time. This means you usually have the same instructor. The first class was OK, but by the 3rd class it was clear that the instructor didnt deviate from his script. I attended classes for almost 3 months. There was little variety and no attention to - or correction of - technique. There are better kickboxing schools with more challenging and creative workouts that dont obligate you to financial contracts with 3rd party outside/out of state institutions.

Review №64

After joining this gym three years ago, I have never looked back. This gym has something for everyone no matter how young or old you are, no matter if you are just getting into fitness and martial arts, or you’re a professional or competitor. Whether you want to learn martial art techniques, burn calories, practice self defense or prepare to go to the mats with the best team in the area, give this gym a try. The instructors take the time to make sure you are comfortable while having a good time and achieving your goals. The owners and management care about your health and safety. Even during trying times such as COVID, they went above and beyond to protect their members. They invest in safety training for their coaches all to make sure you’re protected while reaching your goals. Hands down, this is the best gym in Memphis.

Mr. David is an awesome instructor and his classes are amazing. My kids have been in his class for over a year and love coming 3-4 days a week. He hosted my son’s 8th birthday party and all his friends had a great time. He also teaches kickboxing classes and I loved every minute of it.

I’ve dropped into Memphis Judo and Jiu Jitsu a few times while traveling for work. Everybody has been very welcoming. Blake, the head instructor, is extremely knowledgeable and breaks down each drill to simple, easy to follow steps. The students roll tough but are respectful. I highly recommend MJJJ!

I’ve been coming to Bot’s boxing portion of Memphis Bjj for almost 2 years now and I’ve loved it from the moment I started. I’ve been a longtime fan of the sport and if you’re anything like me I highly recommend Kevin’s class to anyone! Just be ready to work! Kevin is a great coach!

Great place. I was able to drop in the 11 am No Gi class, Blake Smythe was the instructor. He taught three good guard passes and how to counter them. I liked that we took a good amount of time to drill each pass and counter. At noon we rolled for an hour. Good partners and rolls, felt safe throughout. Just visiting for the day but plan to come back when I am back in the area. I have 10 months Jiu jitsu experience.The owner David was responsive and helpful.

Friendly people. Excellent jiu jitsu classes. Very engaging instructors. Great for people seriously interested in learning effective martial arts. Classes are short but the information you learn is taught efficiently. Very valuable. Most importantly, it is martial arts taught in the context of real life fighting.

If you are looking for a Martial Arts gym that will not baby you, but instead push you to reach your true potential, this is the place for you. The only downside is that you have to choose between a six month package and a one year package. However, they do offer a free week to try the place out.

Review №90

Trust me when I say I understand how a new person can feel when they first walk through the doors at Memphis BJJ. It can seem overwhelming sometimes during a class given the amount of information. It’s gonna be awkward in some positions and for some it comes more natural than others, but I feel if we all continue on we’ll get there too. I did feel some members seemed to be cold shouldered, but the more I opened up and asked questions I realized this to be inaccurate. Everyone has been extremely helpful each step of the way from the instructors to other classmates. Everyone has been patient with me and others as we begin this new journey into BJJ.

BUYER BEWARE: this business sells membership contracts to the slimy Member Solutions in Hatboro, Pennsylvania. Member Solutions is a company littered with dozens of 1-star Yelp reviews for ethically questionable business practices. Look them up yourself to read the claims of 1+ hour call waits, non-recognition of cancellation requests, and bullying. The management at Memphis Judo & Jiu Jitsu has been unwilling to help my family members resolve billing issues with this ethically questionable company. Before signing a contract with any gym or MA school, ask if they use Member Solutions for billing. If they do, dont just walk -- RUN.

I absolutely love this place! My 10 yr old daughter does the boxing in the back and my 6 yr old son does the kids jiu jitsu. Out of other kids his age you can tell a difference in his attitude during team activities and I credit it to this program! Well worth your time and money to go here!
