Benefits Of

Jiu Jitsu

Self Defense

The first goal of any martial arts training is self-defense. However, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is unique in its real-world application. Most physical confrontations, especially those started by untrained fighters, will end up on the ground, leaving potential victims vulnerable, but this fighting style takes the perceived disadvantage and turns it into a strength through special techniques.

Weight Loss

Making healthy choices when it comes to what you eat can make a significant difference in your weight loss journey. By combining nutritious foods with a well-rounded exercise routine, you will set yourself up for success in reaching your weight loss goals.

Confidence

As a fighting style, Jiu Jitsu is challenging and requires focus and sustained discipline. For those who stick with the practice, confidence is a natural side effect. The push to master movements and think through attacks leads to a boost in self-esteem and awareness. Practice and repetition alone are enough to develop mental clarity in stressful situations, which leads to the development of confidence.

Goal Setting

Whether through the ranking system or competition in the sport of Jiu Jitsu goal setting is built into the building blocks of Jiu Jitsu. Setting goals and achieving goals is an important skill set.

Don’t Just Take Our Word For It

We have been very pleased with One Nation! Our son started coming here when he started Kindergarten in their after school program. They have nice buses for transportation and will pick up your child safely after school. He has noticeably grown and developed new life skills through the training while making many new friends! Our daughter will be joining him next year when she starts kindergarten. She was apprehensive about it at first. So when we pick up her brother at times we will watch and talk to the girls in the class. They’ve inspired her to want to join and learn these skills too and of course, to keep up with her brother. Everyone that works there, coaches and professors, are great people. Happy to have a safe place our kiddos can to after school until we can pick them after work.

My experience at One Nation is one that I’ll cherish for life. I walked into my first class with ZERO experience with jiu jitsu. (Ex. I couldn’t tell you the difference between “Gi” or “Mount”). During my first class, the instructors took the time to make me feel welcomed and answered my questions with respect and kindness. Whether you’re looking to start a BJJ journey (or continue your journey with world class instructors), creating friendships, or simply lose weight… One Nation has my highest recommendation. Your confidence, and thus happiness, will increase- and that is worth the investment. They offer a free week of classes to newcomers so do yourself a favor and swing by. You’ll be happy that you did.

Please parents. This is very important. My son is all boy and full throttle. One Nation Ju Jitsu was the best thing for him. He learned to channel some of his energy and respect his peers. You could see the change at home and at school. We ended up moving to Rockvale. Got him into other programs that haven’t worked. Almost like just a daycare. One Nation Ju Jitsu is completely different. They are huge on respecting their coaches, parents, teachers, and other kids. That’s what you’re getting from this establishment. I’ve already called them to ask to open one in Murfreesboro. Give them a shot. You won’t be disappointed.

Through out my grappling journey i have visited and trained at various gyms. None can compare to the atmosphere, professionalism, camaraderie, or disciplined dedication of the One Nation Jiu Jitsu family. Every single instructor is constantly learning, growing and evolving. Bringing that wisdom to each and every class. This is more than a gym it is a family. Always there for each other, supporting each other, and believing in each other. Building confidence and accountability. Whether you want to compete or learn to defend yourself, this is the place for you.

Our family loves One Nation BJJ! Everyone is super helpful and from day one was so welcoming! Our son gets the best instruction - they’re always learning new things and practicing learned skills. We love it so much, my husband joined, as well! We always feel supported by our coaches, and it truly feels like they care about the kids. Would and do recommend to anyone interested in BJJ! Thank you One Nation!!

I came to One Nation as a blue belt still working out a lot of details of my game. I was looking for a gym where I would be pushed to learn and grow as a martial artist and One Nation was that. On top of that, the culture is great. All the coaches and upper belts are great and super helpful.
