I can’t say enough good things about this gym. From the moment you walk in, Mike and the entire staff make you feel welcome — no judgment, no ego, just real people who love what they do and want to help you get better. The atmosphere is friendly, supportive, and motivating, whether you’re brand new or have years of experience. What stands out most is how patient and knowledgeable the coaches are. They don’t just run you through drills — they actually teach you. They take the time to explain technique, help you improve, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way. You can tell they care about every person who walks through the door. If you’re looking for a place where you can train hard, learn real skills, and feel like part of a community, this is it. I’m grateful to be here and proud to call this my boxing gym.

I have two children attending FITBJJ and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. Michael the owner is an amazing coach as well as his assistant coaches Micah and Blake. It is a welcoming, friendly and very clean gym. Not to mention the extremely reasonable pricing and open schedule. Whether you’re looking to train for personal growth or to test your skills against other fighters in organized events, they have everything you need to help you succeed. My kids absolutely love everything about it, and so do I!

This place is awesome and super beginner friendly! I walked into my first class at FITBJJ with zero previous experience in any martial arts and everyone was very helpful and welcoming. All of the coaches always go out of their way to say hi when you walk in, which is huge for someone new to a gym who doesn’t know anyone! I don’t really like starting new things and being “bad” at anything, but all of the coaches at FITBJJ make learning something new fun and rewarding. I look forward to my boxing class every week. If you’re thinking about trying something new, or picking up a practice where you left off, definitely give FITBJJ a go!

We have had nothing short of an amazing experience with FITBJJ. The little kid classes are great and the instructors are very patient, but thorough. My teens love the adult/teen classes. The atmosphere really encouraged them and helped them gain some confidence. The owner never walks by without greeting you and asking how you’re doing. 1000% recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Maryville Jiu Jitsu. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Maryville Jiu Jitsu welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Maryville Jiu Jitsu train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
