I started training at Mountain Division Jiu Jitsu right before Hurricane Helene and that was when I realized what a real community feels like. Even in the middle of so much uncertainty, the coaches and students encouraged me, pushed me, and helped me grow in ways I did not expect. I connected with people who showed up for me and made me feel welcome from the beginning. In January I added Kickboxing and learned even more skills that strengthened me mentally and physically. Mountain Division is a gym where you grow in confidence, discipline, and connection and it is a place that truly changes you for the better.
Posted 9 months agoMountain Division is an amazing place to train. The level of instruction, real time feedback on your game, and the amazing team of people that are nice, safe, and highly-skilled training partners. The kids program is also really top notch. My son was getting board at our previous gym, and his love for Jiu Jitsu has been totally renewed; we learn new things every week, and the coaches have fun, Jiu Jitsu relevant, skill games. They take coaching kids seriously, and it's a great environment. Couldn't say enough good things about Mountain Division, come check it out!
Posted 9 months agoMountain Division is an excellent place to learn Jiu Jitsu. The members are supportive, the gym is clean, and Brad is knowledgeable and breaks down movements and positions clearly. Highly recommend for anyone serious about improving their skills.
Posted 9 months agoI was in town on a business trip and decided to check out this gym. It was very clean, and the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in town!
We’ve been part of Mountain Division’s kids’ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program for over 5 years, and it has been an outstanding experience for our children. Coach Brad and his other instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, creating a positive environment where kids feel both challenged and encouraged. The curriculum is well-structured, focusing on fundamental techniques while also emphasizing discipline, respect, and teamwork. My children have not only learned practical self-defense skills but have also gained confidence, improved focus, and developed better physical coordination. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a good balance of fun and discipline. The classes are structured so that children of all skill levels can progress at their own pace, making it a great fit for beginners as well as those with more experience. Overall, we’ve seen significant improvements in our children’s physical fitness and mental toughness, and we couldn’t be happier with the program. Highly recommend Mountain Division for any parent looking for a quality kids’ Jiu-Jitsu program!
I have two kids that train at Mountain Division Jiu Jitsu. We have been regular customers since 2019. It's imperative that kids know how to effectively defend themselves and this is a great place to start. As a bonus, you will watch your child's confidence build along the way. I cannot recommend Mountain Division Jiu Jitsu enough!
Brad and the crew are top notch! The facility is always inviting and clean...great place to train.
High level instruction, clean facility, supportive community and many classes to choose from are just some of the reasons Mountain Division Jiujitsu is an amazing place to train at! Thankful for the friendships made here and the chance to learn jiu jitsu in both a self defense and sportive aspect. In shape, out of shape, high energy or timid.. this place allows every type of person to grow and learn! Thankful for the family being built here and the great training that comes with it all!!
Awesome place to train! Great instruction, clean facility, and welcoming people to learn with. Plenty of classes throughout the week to fit your schedule. Highly recommend for any level!
After training 14 years at different places, I can assure you Mountain Division is top notch. Perfect for all levels with great instruction, a variety of classes, a clean and beautiful facility, and a positive vibe. Highly recommend!
Martial arts has been my lifelong passion, and over the past 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of training with a variety of outstanding instructors. When I relocated to Asheville, I set out to find a BJJ school that offered top-tier instruction in a safe and welcoming environment. Mountain Division has exceeded all my expectations. In my year of training here, I’ve been consistently impressed by the instructors’ exceptional skill and their genuine investment in their students’ growth. Beyond the technical excellence, Mountain Division has provided me with something even more valuable—a supportive, family-friendly community rooted in strong values. If you’re looking for a place to train, grow, and find community, I can’t recommend Mountain Division highly enough.
Love this place ! Full of amazing athletes and coaches. The energy and atmosphere is incredible!
Mountain Division Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic place to train. There is a very welcoming atmosphere, and a great group of friendly people. The gym itself is clean and comfortable, with a separate lounge area which has TV’s and a standing video game. I’ve been able to bring my kids with me, and they were comfortable and entertained in the lounge area while I trained. The instruction itself is amazing. Brad is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and he is very engaged in observing and giving active feedback while you train. You can tell he truly cares about his students and their development. Happy to be part of the team at Mountain Division.
I have known Brad for over 10 years when I first began taking my son to learn jiu-jitsu. Rarely do you find a gym or instructors so invested in the success of their students. My son did very well and was very active in NAGA events with Brad in his corner. Whether you want to learn jiu-jitsu for combat competition or as a skill set for self-defense, you won’t find a better jiu-jitsu gym dollar for dollar value anywhere in Western North Carolina. Brad won’t brag about it, but he is a black belt under the Royce Gracie lineage and he gets the importance of not just teaching jiu-jitsu, but in creating a culture of success.
I’ve been practicing martial arts for most of my life and have trained at several schools in the area. Mountain Division Jiu Jitsu stands out with its exceptional instruction, welcoming environment, and outstanding culture. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll always be treated with respect and feel right at home. I highly recommend!
Great clean facility. Brad and all the instructors are very knowledgeable and have helped train me around my back issues. It’s a family atmosphere here and I like that. My daughter will also start training here when she comes home from college.
Great gym with awesome staff. Good place to learn for all ages and abilities.
Best place to train Jiu Jitsu in WNC. The facility is great, the coaches are top tier, and the community is awesome. There is also a good range of belts there. All levels are welcome!
I have been attending Jiu-jitsu classes here for almost 1 year as a newbie beginner, and I have loved every bit of the experience. The classes have great attention to fundamentals for beginners and advanced persons in their Jiu-jitsu journey. The facility has a clean bathroom, cozy lobby, clean well taken care of mats and amazing people to lead the teaching. I have found new confidence in myself as a woman and mom of littles to be able to defend myself against an attacker, and hurt them if need be. I suggest this sport to all my friends, and this gym to anyone looking to start their own journey. Brad is an amazing owner and teacher, along with many others who have taught classes. Family friendly environment, with a lobby and TV and friendly faces. My husband and I both practice Jiu-jitsu here and will be enrolling our 5 & 7 year old kids in their kids classes soon. See you on the mats! - Joanna
Great friendly atmosphere! Staff and students both were very welcoming.
An awesome gym with such a welcoming and supportive environment. The instructors are incredible and want to help you succeed whatever your own personal goals may be. We would love to have you come train with us!
I’ve never felt so genuinely welcome my first week in a gym. Mountain Division has quickly become a very special place for me - I have so much fun each class & open mat - and there are SO MANY couples and women training here! Everyone I have trained with is incredibly kind - and the team knows their stuff. Thrilled to be a member here & can’t wait to level up my jiu jitsu game in a fun, positive way.
Excellent training environment for all skill levels. It has a welcoming and positive culture. All the instructors are extremely helpful and want to invest in your Ju-Jitsu journey. If you are looking for a good community of folks passionate about Ju-Jitsu, then Mountain Division is were you belong.
Well I went to almost every school in asheville trying to make a decision on where to train. As soon as I met the owner and did an assessment and my first class there was no question that this is where I wanted to train. They were very welcoming, knowledgeable, and took the time to really make sure I understood what we were working on. They’ll probably get tired of seeing me because I will be there every time the doors open!
Amazing experience! Friendly, welcoming, and legit!
Dropped in for open mat. The guys were welcoming and had solid jiu jitsu. Facilities were clean and well tended to. Will be going back!
Brad and the crew have created a culture that is infectious. Excellent atmosphere and great training. Whether you’re just starting or have experience, Mountain Division is a great place to learn and grow. Good vibes, great people, awesome rolls.
Had a great time rolling and learning while traveling for work. Wonderful teaching and very welcoming folks!
I dropped in for a class while staying in the area. Very nice, clean gym and a welcoming environment. The instruction was high level and had some great rolls to finish off the evening. I highly recommend this gym!
I was in town for vacation from Cincinnati and stopped in on a Friday night for no gi class. Imad was super friendly as well as the other students. The space is super clean and easy to find and would definitely train there again when I visit Asheville. Thanks guys.
Great place to train. Good instruction. Good training partners. Clean and nice facilities.
Fun, clean facility, and a nice group of people. I jumped in here while traveling to Asheville on a family trip. The team was welcoming and trained in a safe way. I'll definitely be back!
This is an amazing place to train. The instruction is exceptional, as Brad helps each student grow while ensuring that techniques are practiced safely and correctly.
I have trained at Mountain Division Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for multiple years. I started knowing nothing about martial arts and it’s been a great learning experience. In addition to the positive and comfortable environment you will learn valuable skills taught by Professor Brad Hannah. Come either start your journey or continue down the path with a great gym.
I have trained at Mountain Division Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for multiple Summers, and I can confidently say it has been an absolute pleasure learning from and collaborating with everyone in this establishment. In addition to the positive and comfortable environment you will encounter in this school, the classes are insightful, informative, and inspiring for anyone seeking to expand their jiu jitsu skills, both physically and mentally. The training, led by Professor Brad Hannah, is perfect for anyone looking for a challenging, yet valuable martial arts experience.
Good rounded teaching. Flexible schedule with morning and evening classes. Mix of standup and ground game instruction. Come try it out for a week.
I liked this place for my son. Unfortunately my schedule made attendance difficult. We will try back in the future.
In town and visited open mat. Literally my favorite visit to a Jiu jitsu gym. Top notch people who are skilled, chill, and know how to roll and train properly. My Asheville gym for life.
Great training with a fun and welcoming group. Prof. Brad Hannah is a great instructor. I always visit any time I’m in Asheville area
Great gym! I dropped in one night while on a work trip and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Would like to train here again if I'm ever back in the area. Thanks for having me!
Fantastic instruction, with a great group of training partners. Solid all around!
Outstanding training. Great instruction.BJJ Gi emphasis but also great training in No Gi and Judo.
Awesome atmosphere here. Everyone is super nice and they don't look down upon you when you're new.
Really Great Experience! Me and my friend were visiting Asheville for a show and decided to stop by Fight to Win Asheville for their open mat. Could not have been more pleased. Super nice people, starting with the owner Prof. Brad Hannah. Him and all of his students were gracious and welcoming (as much as people trying to choke you out can be 😃). And the cleanliness of the facility was A+ as well. Will definitely go back when I'm in Asheville again.
Genuinely a great gym. I look forward to going every single time. Brad's instruction is effective whether you're looking to compete or simply looking to be able to defend yourself on the street. When you sign up for this gym you gain a family, you gain people who care about you, and you gain invaluable experience that you won't get anywhere else.
Great gym! The best in Asheville. I have been to many gyms but the moment you walk into the gym the aura and atmosphere are great. You are welcomed from the moment you get in till the time you leave. It’s one of these feelings where you know everyone already and you remember their names. Brad is an awesome down to earth instructor. My only regret is getting sick and not being able to come back and train. If you are just starting off or if you are a little bit more seasoned like myself, this is the perfect gym to attend. Oss!
Respectful group of folks looking to train hard and hone their skills. Highly recommended for persons looking for improvements in overall fitness and self confidence.
I moved to this area recently. I was recommended Brad by my previous instructor. Immediately I was welcomed. Brad's knowledge of jiu jitsu, self-defense, and eye for detail makes him one of the best instructors I've ever had. I love it. I've found my forever gym.
Trained here for two nights while visiting family. Friendly atmosphere and great instruction from Brad. Definitely would visit again!
Really good instruction and a really great team atmospher.
