If you or your kid are looking to get into BJJ, or if you are just looking for a new place to train, Slow Roll is the place to go. At Slow Roll you'll find clean mats, great training partners, and top-notch instruction. I have been to several gyms all around Tennessee and Texas, and Slow Roll is in the very top tier of all of them. Give it a shot today!

Slow Roll BJJ is unparalleled! Everyone is welcoming with open arms no matter what your skill level is. Everyone is just trying to be better than they were yesterday! The team here is incredible! Everyone I've had the opportunity to meet has been nothing short of helpful. The training is intense when it needs to be but the way Coach Travis breaks down the concepts makes it a conducive learning environment. Nothing but good vibes but hard work at the same time. It's help me in my everyday life on and off the mats. I recommend anyone who's is interested in starting BJJ or advanced to consider slow roll you won't be disappointed!

We first checked out Slow-Roll about 5 months ago. We initially checked out the competition class because we were going to another BJJ gym in Clarksville & I wanted my 2 sons to get some extra reps in. That was where our journey to Slow Roll began. I couldn't help but to fall in love with the gym right away! It was a very welcoming environment, the kids were REALLY good giving my kids a challenge. It was EXTREMELY CLEAN and everyone was super respectful. Saftey here is taken to another level which is really good for our youth. They always have multiple people on the floor helping the kids out with technique & looking out for their saftey. We were ultimately looking for a place to help our kids with competition and we found it. Since we've started SR, my kids BJJ has been taken to the next level. If you're looking for a competitive, family friendly gym this is your place. If you're not looking for competition but just want to learn a martial art while having fun, this is also your place! I highly recommend SR and would be glad to have my family & friends check it out.

They break down complex techniques into easily understandable steps, making it accessible for beginners while still challenging advanced practitioners. The community at the gym is welcoming and supportive. Everyone, from the staff to the fellow students, fosters a positive and encouraging environment.

Coach Travis and all the members have created an amazing environment and community at Slow Roll BJJ. The style of instruction was what really hooked me in and the amount of individual feedback you receive both on and off the mats. Any time I reach out with questions or ideas I can always expect genuine guidance. If you're looking to join for health, fitness, or competition, this is an amazing option. From day 1 everyone introduced themselves and welcomed me in. Could not recommend Slow Roll enough.

My family’s experience with slow role has been exceptional and rewarding. The coaches have really created a welcoming and safe environment for my kids. I had initially signed them up for jiu-jitsu to gain confidence and discipline. However, they’re learning much more. I get to watch my kids grow and become better humans because of this gym.

I moved from Texas to Clarksville for a new gym to continue my son's BJJ training. After trying other gyms in the area, my Son enjoyed the atmosphere and the Coaches at Slow Roll out of the other gyms. Travis and Zak do a fantastic job making you feel welcome and a part of the team. I enjoy the coach's methods of teaching for the kids, which has improved my son's fundamentals. The adult class is another bonus if you are also looking to train!

Slow roll bjj is an amazing and engaging experience for everyone included in the community. This has helped me and my teammates gain so much more coincidence, and is an amazing place for anyone who wants to start bjj. Coach Travis pushes people to be the best that they can, and that they can do more than what they think they are capable of. 10/10, would recommend.

I can not say enough praises about this gym. They are very family oriented and welcoming, yet very driven when it comes to success. They opened their doors and arms to our whole family while also doing hard core work! They push us to be the best and stay humble. The coaches and athletes are all amazing and have created the perfect jiu jitsu environment for anyone and everyone. Highly recommend anyone to check them out and at LEAST do a trial run of BJJ. 🥋

The only reason I am giving a 5 star review is because Google doesn’t give the option to give 10. Slow roll has an incredible atmosphere for all levels of experience and will make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. There is nowhere else in Clarksville that you need to look before beginning your BJJ journey. If you’re a seasoned vet in the game show up ready. The name is deceiving because there is nothing slow about it. 10/10

The Training here is amazing. It’s not like any other gyms, they are straight killers. It’s a wonderful family and a wonderful gym. The coaches there care about the students progression placing them first before themselves. I’m glad I came across the gym. Soon the whole TN area will know who they are not just as tough competitors but as competitors with good character and a coach who promotes the right things.

Energizing environment, great atmosphere, positive vibes, and encouraging coaches! Head coach Travis is highly professional and provides impeccable services to his students and their families. At Slow Roll Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, you know the coaches are there to help you find your footing, evolve, and elevate your relationship with Jiu Jitsu. From being a beginner or somewhat experienced, you can tell there is no judgment or exclusion because of where someone might have come from. If your goal is to learn self-defense, learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and achieve a healthier lifestyle, then Slow Roll Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the place for you! I HIGHLY recommend them!!

Slow Roll BJJ is by far the most exciting jujitsu gym in Clarksville and has some of the best coaches in the area. Head Coach Travis is not only a phenomenal athlete and instructor, but also brings his wholesome family values to his mat. Slow Roll’s methodology is science based and makes learning the skill of grappling easier through task based games instead of mindless drilling. My kids and I love the fast paced games and have seen major improvements in our understanding the art of jujitsu and grappling. We highly recommend Slow Roll BJJ !

I highly recommend Slow Roll BJJ. I've gotten the chance to train at different gyms in different states and Coach Travis' approach to prioritizing teaching concepts versus just techniques is very beneficial for skill development. My family also enjoys their family BJJ Saturday class!

This place is amazing. With experienced, knowledgeable and approachable instructors , who are welcoming and an environment for all ages. Travis , is passionate and a great Head Coach ! They even have a class for family members to grow together. So if you are wanting to be a serious competitor, if you want a place where your child can grow strong and in self confidence. A place where you can just grow in Jiu Jitsu and have a sense of community. Or a place for the family , to grow together this is the place for you ! We all can find a class , that fits for us. I know I will be taking classes as often as I can ! Get your roll on ! 🥰

Coach Travis has been paramount in the development of both my daughters and my own BJJ. My daughter has medaled 3 times within 6months of training, 2 silver and 1 gold with coach’s guidance from the mats. This is a super safe place for kids to train and is developing some very talented girl practitioners. We have found the change from drill based learning to situational/ecological very beneficial and more engaging for us both. I couldn’t recommend enough.
