Beacon Jiu Jitsu

Murfreesboro’s Newest Jiu Jitsu School, Now in Our Beautiful New Location.


A different kind of Brazilian jiu jitsu school. Built on making jiu jitsu accessible to more people. At Beacon, we’re ditching the chaos of tough-guy gyms and replacing it with an amazing culture, and a team that teaches the art in a truly organized way.

For beginners, we have the BEST beginner program in Murfreesboro. A 45- minute private intro class with a two week onboarding program.

Why We’re Different

We’re laying the groundwork of our new academy on three pillars

01

Accessibility

Jiu jitsu shouldn’t only be for people who are at their physical peak. We teach and train in a way that is scalable and sustainable.

02

Structure

We give our students a real roadmap for their progress with a system that is organized, while leaving space for everyone to develop their own personal style of jiu jitsu.

03

Culture

 We’re intentional about creating a great community, where you’ll meet cool people and make real friendships. No cliques, no politics, and no drama.

We use a system to go further, faster.

Most jiu-jitsu schools are disorganized. Students struggle to assemble a patch work of techniques, often without a broad view of what their goals should be as a new player.

We’re solving this by creating a methodology that organizes jiu jitsu, so you have clear path to navigate the art

A Unique Juniors Program

We teach jiu jitsu to kids with a one of a kind program that uses game-based learning to teach kids ages 6-12 jiu jitsu without the lectures and the standing around.

  • Kids learn jiu jitsu through carefully crafted jiu jitsu games.
  • Games are scaled up or down depending on the class and kid,
  • Get’s them being physical and harnesses their energy.
  • The shy get more confident, the wild find a better outlet!

★★★★★

“I highly recommend Beacon Jiu Jitsu. As a women, the smaller class sizes create a more personal and comfortable learning environment, and every coach is kind, patient, and willing to answer questions. They make it easy to learn without feeling pressured or embarrassed. The calm, welcoming energy of the gym makes it a place I genuinely enjoy being.”

Technical, Progressive Jiu Jitsu . . .

We teach modern jiu jitsu that is innovative and forward thinking. Our instructors are articulate and can take complex ideas and simplify them. You’ll find us teaching new positions and trends in the meta of jiu jitsu.

A Rad Culture

We’re having fun. Jiu Jitsu takes itself too seriously sometimes. We play music. We’re not heavy on etiquette, or titles. Most importantly, we have a culture of positivity and safe training.

. . .That Respects the Fundamentals.

Many elements of jiu jitsu will never change. We ground students practical basics that have stood the test of time. We don’t poo-poo old school jiu jitsu. In fact, we teach it.

We Meet You Where You’re At.

90% of jiu jitsu people are recreational. We are people with jobs, families, and bodies that need to stay healthy. We don’t celebrate “pushing ourselves past the limit.” Just doing jiu jitsu is hard!

Concepts Over Techniques

Modern jiu jitsu has more techniques than ever before. We focus on giving new students frameworks and concepts that give them clarity and keep them from “drowning in options.”

Rank Transparency

Progression in jiu jitsu shouldn’t be a mystery or a taboo subject. We’re upfront about how we organize belts, stripes, and promotions. You’ll always know the next step in your journey
