Dropped in While in Nashville – Amazing Experience! I was in Nashville for a bachelor weekend and decided to sneak away for a training session—so glad I did. I met some incredible people at this gym. I’ve trained at many places across different cities, and this one truly stands out for how friendly and welcoming everyone was. Whether you’re visiting or looking for a solid place to train regularly, I’d highly recommend it!

I went to Profectus today for a foundations Jiu-Jitsu class. I was immediately impressed upon walking in- the space itself was clean, modern, sleek, and welcoming. Coming in as a beginner- Eron was incredibly patient with me and knowledgeable in taking me through each movement with him. I was nervous when I came in, but within seconds felt totally comfortable trying something new. These guys are great! Not to mention- their branding and merch is super super cool! Would highly recommend checking this place out 💯

Great place. I dropped in on a morning class to a clean, spacious facility. I was greeted by everyone there and shown around for lockers, restrooms, and there’s a shower! The instruction was world class and the camaraderie was there. These guys had me feeling like a long time member of the team. Highly recommend this place.

Profectus Jiu-Jitsu Nashville is more than just a gym—it’s a family, a place where you’re constantly challenged to grow, both on and off the mats. Coach Eron Johnsey is an incredible instructor who genuinely cares about his students, breaking down techniques with precision while pushing you to be your best. His passion for Jiu-Jitsu is contagious, and his ability to build confidence and skill in every student is unmatched. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned grappler, you’ll find a welcoming community and world-class instruction here. Training at Profectus has been a game-changer, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Perfect Nashville is probably one of the best jujutsu Studios in Nashville. Super convenient to the highway. Great instruction very full schedule. Jeremy and all of his coaches are wicked smart. Highly suggest checking them out.

I had an exceptional experience at this gym! As a visitor to the area, I was looking for a place to train and was blown away by the warm welcome I received. The staff kindly offered me a gi to borrow, and everyone took the time to introduce themselves and make me feel at home. The atmosphere was collaborative and supportive, with a focus on learning and growth. I also appreciated the unique suggestion from the coach to journal our progress for reflection and improvement. In just one session, I felt like I learned a tremendous amount and can't wait to return!

Newest and coolest BJJ gym in the city! Excellent coaching and welcoming atmosphere. The highlight of my day is attending the noon class during the week.

If you're looking for a world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, look no further! Professor Akin aka Jeremy is truly one of the best in the game. His deep knowledge of BJJ, combined with an incredible ability to break down techniques in a clear and effective way, makes every class a valuable learning experience. What sets Jeremy apart is not just his skill level but his passion for teaching! He has taken multiple students from white belt to black belt. He has developed a number of highly competitive World Champions! Jeremy founded the Profectus Jiu-Jitsu brand which is by far the top tier BJJ school in and around the Nashville, TN market. They create an environment that is both challenging and supportive, pushing students to improve while making sure they feel comfortable and encouraged. Whether you're a beginner just learning the basics or a seasoned practitioner sharpening your skills, Professor Akin provides expert guidance tailored to your level. Beyond technique, he instills the principles of discipline, perseverance, and respect, making a lasting impact on his students both on and off the mats. His dedication to each student’s growth is truly inspiring, and it’s no surprise that so many people keep coming back to train under him and his affiliated black belt instructors. I have had the opportunity to take private lessons from a variety of well known, high level practitioners across the country and Jeremy is absolutely one of the best!! If you’re serious about improving your BJJ or just looking for a phenomenal coach and mentor, I highly recommend training with Professor Akin (Jeremy). You won’t find a more knowledgeable, patient, and motivating instructor!

I can’t say enough great things about Profectus in downtown Nashville. From the moment I walked in, I immediately felt welcomed and at home. Being away from the sport for a few years, I was nervous about getting back into it and potentially struggling to shake off the rust. However, the instructors at Profectus are top-notch and were able to guide me back into the swing of things with ease. The culture at Profectus is one of camaraderie and support. Whether you're a beginner starting from scratch or a seasoned veteran looking to stay competitive in the BJJ scene, this gym has something for everyone. The variety of class offerings ensures that there is always something new and exciting to learn, keeping your training fresh and engaging. Overall, I cannot recommend Profectus enough for anyone looking!

What an awesome gym, I cannot recommend this group enough. Not only are the professors welcoming, but they’ve fostered an environment that makes it easy to make life long friends. It’s been such an incredible experience getting to learn from so many people, and the professors are an absolute master class in breaking down the techniques and articulating in a way that even my dense head can understand. I began my journey in search of a gym, and after a few not so good fits, I’ve found a place I can truly grow in with people I’m now proud to call family. Or maybe just really good friends, let’s not push it.
