Franklin Jiu Jitsu Club #Grizcave

Cannot recommend this family enough. I use that word because unlike a lot of other gyms, Griz Cave feels like a family. I have been attending boxing classes for 6 months and am absolutely loving it. I was a little nervous to begin with, having heard stories about boxing gyms in general being very cliquey, but experienced nothing but positivity and encouragement from both instructors and fellow members here. For boxing, Keith Palmer is an amazing instructor in both his knowledge and how he communicates to you (the most vital part of a good teacher), he also makes the classes fun! While I don't take part in any of the BJJ classes, my understanding from those that do, along with the boxing classes, is that this atmosphere is present across all classes at Griz Cave. The facilities are also brilliant, and they even have activities like books, board games and more for kids, which is a huge benefit for parents like myself, who can train while kids are entertained. If you are considering taking up BJJ or boxing classes, look no further!

I love this gym!!! Have essentially grown up the last 20 years with these guys, took a decade off and came back home to Professor Jay finally opening his own gym. Few locations to land here, but the current Professors, instructors, and all the team members are just amazing people...no gym rats, we keep em' out!! There is no other gym where you can get so much for the lowest cost around....gi, no-gi, leg locks, grappling, beginner classes, huge kids classes, women's only classes, self-defense, MMA, boxing (5am, lunch time, evening), 24 hour weight lifting and cardio equipment, sauna, cold plunge, and showers!!!! And all this taught by insanely technical and knowledgeable black belts, firefighters, local and federal law enforcement officers, ex-intelligence agents, and golden gloves boxers! Come join us!!

Franklin Jiu Jitsu Club is an excellent place to train. The gym has a great vibe, high-quality training, and an awesome group of people. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid jiu jitsu community.

My kids have had a wonderful experience here - starting from day 1 with no prior BJJ experience. The owner, Jason, is easy to get ahold of with any questions and is quick to respond. The kid’s class coach is also phenomenal and really knows how to work with all ages while keeping the class under control. I would recommend this gym to anyone interested in growing their child’s confidence while getting physical activity!

This is without a doubt a 5 star gym. I did 1 year of mma when I was 12 and I loved the striking but hated the grappling because I was so nervous. So wanting to get over that 2 years ago I started looking at jui jitsu gyms and found one Greenwood that I tried and didn’t feel like it was right for me so I gave it one more try at the GrizCave. I immediately new this was where I belonged. I was welcomed right into the gym by instructor Jason Ramey and felt like part of the family. I wanted to go as much as possible because I was learning so much and this gym makes that very easy with their monthly membership offering so many classes every single day and 24/7 access. I became more confident, motivated, and disciplined. From the instructors to the many friends I’ve made l couldn’t recommend a better gym!
