Memphis Judo & Jiu-Jitsu

In the movie «Karate Kid», there are 2 types of instructors. You have Mr Miyagi and then there is the Cobra Kai Sensei. The lead youth instructor at Memphis Judo Brazillian Jui-​jitsu uses the «Sensei» style. If my son wanted to be screamed at, he would have joined the Marines. Then again he’s only five. The other instructors are great.

I been going here over a year now and have lost a total of 40 pounds and going. but i also eat right. means no fried food red meats and eating after 4. regular gym did not work for me. like the fact they tell you what to due. i bought a polar active band so i know how many calories I’m burning every class its 1200 in 45 mins that really good!
i would highly recommend coming here. you got to take the first step and this is a great one!

Great workout. The guys here really want you to have a life change with the getting in shape. This place changed my kids life. His confidence is amazing after a few months learning Jiu Jitsu. Proud Daddy!

I’ve been kickboxing for almost a year, and MJJ is ok. The schedule is great for someone with a working schedule, and some of the instructors are really good. Blake, Trundle, Dr. James, and Tyler are my favorite… they take the time to kick your butt and make sure you are practicing proper technique. My all-​time favorite is Urban Fitness Kickboxing though. All of the instructors at Urban Fitness are fabulous. UFK instructors are very welcoming and they know their stuff.

I got my a** kicked… in a good way! I bought an unlimited 30-​day Groupon deal back in December thinking that it would be good to add variety to my half marathon training. I started kickboxing classes last night and it was challenging but fun. The staff & class participants were very friendly. The instructor, Ben, checked in regularly to make sure that I was comfortable. We talked briefly & he encouraged me to drop into as many classes as I wanted during the 30 days. He was very welcoming!
The gym was a bit warm but nothing too unbearable. Class started with laps around the room, a few push-​ups and plyo then we went straight into the good stuff for about 45 minutes. One veteran class participant noticed that I was new & guided me through all of the drills to make sure I got the most of my workout. He even got a few chuckles out of my unique punching skills! After class, I talked to another class participant & she had nothing but great things to say about the kickboxing class. She’s been attending for a few months & is seeing great results.
Bonus: If you’re not sure about committing to the membership, they offer a week pass. No need to rush out to but sparing equipment because have everything that you need for class. The instructor will show you how to wrap your wrist & how to punch correctly. Don’t be shy… ASK!
I’m not looking to lose weight but the strength training offered will be very helpful in attaining my running goals. I can’t wait to go to my next class tomorrow!
