Very welcoming. I will be going to my first class next week

MGA is an awesome place! Mr. Bo (Knows) Hardy does an outstanding job with the 0530 and 0700 classes of teaching technique nuances and relating to every belt level! I was also fortunate to get to spend some time talking with Prof Alex who is a terrific individual and very welcoming!The members here are terrific also. We are in town for a brief time and within the first month I feel I have a dozen new friends in Memphis that would help with any need my family may have. Really an outstanding group of people to spend the first hours of the day with.The training is intense, lots of rolling after instruction and drill, then open mat time where you can continue rolling or get additional instruction on sticking points. There are abilities of all levels on the morning, so don’t be intimidated if you’re considering your first class or lack experience. You’ll learn fast and have tons of support.I’d recommend Midtown Grappling Academy to anyone who is considering BJJ in the Memphis area. A quick list(not all encompassing however) of things you’ll gain from your experience: strength, conditioning, a functional skill, confidence, problem solving, calmness under pressure, camaraderie with great people.Be sure to volunteer in the first couple weeks to be the test dummy... ;) enjoy!

Best Brazilian Jiujitsu instruction youll find in the Memphis Area hands down!

When I first got there which was back in February I saw Alex for the first time and he’s a great guy he pushes me at my best to work hard and keep going

Best murder yoga in the city

It’a hard to beat training with a Marcelo Garcia blackbelt. Very calming, friendly atmosphere. Alex is a good dude and I’ll train here every time I’m in Memphis. Great place for beginners and advanced.

This is a great place to find good quality people and instruction. Serves all levels well, the staff is friendly welcoming and will push you to be better than you ever were!

I have been training with Alex Meadows for 6 years, and have had the privilege of training BJJ around the USA. Memphis Grappling Academy is not only at the top of my list of gyms I have ever trained at, it is also a family. When you join this gym you are welcomed by everyone as a brother/sister. If you are looking for a wonderful environment to get into shape and learn self defense this is the gym for you!!!

Normally, I don’t give 5 star reviews, but Alex and his staff went above and beyond. They let me borrow a gi and Alex personally drove me back to my hotel so I could save on taxi money.I came to Memphis on a business trip for a week and wanted to train. Alex’s staff answered the phone promptly and answered all of my questions.I showed up and Alex was super cool and nice. We did a 10 minute warm up, a half guard pass, drilled that half guard pass, and then rolled in 6 min intervals for a half hour. Alex’s instruction was clear and detailed. Everyone at the academy was nice.

I’ve visited all the jiu-jitsu academies in the area. This is the best place to train! Everyone is very welcoming and the training is world class.

I did one bjj class, the head instructor was kinda rude and intense. The people there were cool and friendly but the head instructor spoken to me in such a way that the guy I was rolling with had to tell me dont take it personal, thats just how he is.

Best jiu jitsu gym in Memphis. Alex Meadows is a great instructor and the whole vibe is great. Everyone is friendly and welcoming.

By far the best gym anywhere around.

Alex is a world class BJJ instructor and a really cool guy ive been training with them for almost a year and a half now and im getting into better shape while also learning self defense everyone here is friendly and will help you if you need it you will feel very welcomed from the moment you get there. if your looking for the best BJJ gym around come visit MGA you will not be disappointed!!
