Nemisis School of MMA is extremely empressive. They have everything a MMA Competitor needs to prepare for fight; great training facility, subject matter experts for each martial art style offered and devoted teamates that work with and encourage each other to better themselves in martial arts as well as improve overall moral character. The coaches go out of their way to invest time and energy into students that show devotion and determination. When Nemisis fighters go to competitions they are there to win, the quality of training shows when they step into the cage and dominate their opponents consistantly at many venues. I definitely recommend Nemisis to anyone interested in getting involved in the sport or perfect any skills they already have in martial arts. ~ R K
I’ve been attending this gym since approximately 2017. Since I started my jiu-jitsu journey, I’ve learned a lot of valuable information relative to my career field. Mr. Medley and his wife do a great job with all aspects of running a successful martial arts gym, offering different programs such as Muay Thai, boxing and even other classes for young children and teenagers. I’ve always felt welcomed and had no complaints with the service and quality of the content that is being taught. I have a great amount of respect for Mr. Medley and his establishment and will continue to train there. I encourage anyone who’s interested in learning a new skill set and wants to enhance their mental and physical capabilities to give it a try. I did and I’m pleased with my results. ~ Kyler C
I dropped in for a class at Tennessee BJJ Academy Murfreesboro a couple of months ago, and it was an excellent experience. The staff was extremely welcoming from the moment I arrived, and the facility was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Their approach was different from the gym I normally train at—the use of games to introduce and integrate new skills was a refreshing and effective change. The coaches were very helpful and made sure I understood everything we were working on, and the students I partnered with were incredibly friendly. Next time I’m in Murfreesboro, I’ll definitely be back for more training with these great people! ~ Sydney B
I have been going here to train for a little over a year now. I originally started training at the behest of my neurologist as a way to keep my strength up and stay healthy in the face of my recent MS diagnosis. Training here has become so much more than a pursuit for health. The Tennessee BJJ Academy Murfreesboro has provided me with an entire community of people committed to discipline and growth. Jiu Jitsu is a lifestyle and a martial art. When training, you need the right community of people who truly care about you to make you the best that you can be. I found my people, and I believe that you will find your people here too. ~ Gabrielle A
Expert coaching staff ensure excellent instruction. Clean facility; owners constantly pouring money into upgrades for the academy. Grappling classes integrate techniques from various discplines, e.g., wrestling, judo, and traditional jiu jitsu to form a well-rounded curriculum. The coaches cater to various learning styles to make sure everyone is focused and learning; they genuinely care about each student's progress. Got manhandled by a 13 year old half my size. I guess jiu jitsu works. 10/10 highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their overall lifestyle. ~ Josh H
This place is the best. If you’re looking for a workout that isn’t boring and will teach you actual skill, this is the place for you. If you want to wow your friends and family with a sick rear naked choke, look no further. This gym will help you reach whatever martial arts goals you may have! I’ve been coming here multiple times a week, every week, for almost 7 years, and I still like these people. They are the absolute best and will make you a total badass. ~ Rachel P
Dropped into TN-BJJ Academy tonight as an out of town guest and had a great time. This is a great group of guys that display absolutely no ego or pressure. It's never easy heading into a gym where you don't know anyone but right away Ray and his guys were right there to welcome me into their class. Nakanna is another guy that I ran into who could not have been nicer. If you are considering learning BJJ you should go visit this academy! ~ Grant E
On the recommendation of a friend within the local BJJ community, I gave Coach Earl and this gym a try. That was in 2017 and I've been regular ever since. The learning environment has evolved over the years as well as being responsive to troubleshooting at the individual level to give the best odds for development & advancement (you still have to put in the work, though). Reach out to them for a trial class. ~ J F
Before I started training, I tried a few free trials at different places. And I had come to terms with the fact that BJJ was just not for me. But I had already scheduled a free trial class at TBJJAM, so I decided to try this last place. Everyone was welcoming, kind, and incredibly helpful. Coach Earl has a way of explaining the intricacies of techniques, and WHY you should do them this way that resonates with people’s minds in a different way. I’ve achieved and surpassed physical fitness goals that I had set for myself, and my daily life has improved immeasurably from the lessons I’ve learned here. From staying calm in tense situations, to doing the difficult thing because I know it’s the right thing to do. I cannot begin to describe the impact training here has had on my life outside of the gym. I’ve made friends with teammates that I believe I’ll have for a lifetime, and truly the highlight of my day is getting to class. From someone who believed Jiu Jitsu wasn’t for them, take it from me: Tennessee Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy Murfreesboro is the place to try! I hope to see you in here soon! ~ Andrew M
I was looking for a place to train and when i found Nemesis MMA i knew i was at the right place. I found coaches that were mentors and a family that i needed. My whole family including my children train at Nemesis. Coach Danny Jones took me in and made me family. I can never repay him for the things he has taught me and my children. From world class fighters to teaching children to be leaders, Nemesis is the best! ~ Alec M
We love this gym! Our kids have been attending Jiu Jitsu kids classes for two years. This is not an after-school program, it’s a dedicated class that actually teaches your kids the discipline and art of Jiu Jitsu. Coach Earl keeps the class size small so each child gets the attention they need. I highly recommend this gym for anyone who wants their kids to learn to defend themselves and build confidence. ~ T J
Our son loves his little kids BJJ class! He enjoys the coaches, his classmates, and the atmosphere - perfect combination of structure, learning and fun for a 3.5 year old! He enjoys going to class so much that he asks if he can go everyday! Thank you Coach Tierra and the rest of the team for a great first experience for him! We recommend them 100%! ~ Krysten J
The owners here do such a great job of creating a welcoming, judgement-free environment and also keep me accountable with check-ins if I miss a class. Can't recommend TBJJA enough! When I first started, I really appreciated the Friday evening women's-only class (and still do). Not sure I would have even tried BJJ without that option. ~ chelsea g
The instructors here love what they do.. They are here to push you into being the best you can be.. I found a place where my eleven year old and I both receive the best workout and training... Once we walked in the door and had our first class we knew where we wanted to be.. ~ Zane J
I have attended many martial arts schools over the years and I visited several MMA gyms in the Nashville area. From my visits I felt Nemesis was the best and my time there shows I was right. Very knowledgeable instructors, friendly students and a great atmosphere. ~ Seth
I have been training Muay Thai and BJJ here for about 2 years. This gym has high-quality coaches who demonstrate techniques in detail and cater to each member's learning needs and limitations. The gym is always clean and well-maintained. ~ Tyler W
I've been to a few gyms but this one is definitely the best. The head coach, Medley, is super smart and breaks down every teachable moment down to where anyone can learn and thrive. Anyone interested, please check them out! ~ Jimmy T
This is one of the realest places for you to learn martial arts. The coaches there will work with you no matter what skill level. It's also great for kids to learn not just martial arts but discipline and respect ~ Jj V
