From the reviews
Had a blast at the recent grand opening of Fight Zone TN! Professor Gabriel was very welcoming and I'm so happy for his new gym! It was a packed house and everyone was super kind and trained hard!!! Definitely had a great time and look forward to visiting again.
I dropped in at Fightzone after a friend invited me to train, and I was blown away. The gym is super clean, with multiple bathrooms, an easy check-in system, and a front desk full of gear. There’s even a family viewing area so parents can watch without crowding the mats.
Don’t come here if you want teammates, come here if you want a Jiu Jitsu family. I was traveling cross-country and stayed in Murfreesboro for a few days and I had the pleasure of another Gym telling me that I couldn’t drop in, which led me to Gabriel and his team at fight zone.
My kids started under Professor Gabriel both at age 3, and have continued their training with him for several years. They started competing successfully at age 4 & 5, and they continue to learn, grow and build confidence and strength as well as a positive mindset.
New to muay thai? Start at Fight Zone Jiu-Jitsu
Fight Zone Jiu-Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Fight Zone Jiu-Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
