From the reviews
Leviathan is an amazing gym. Breck coaches with passion, patience, and the student needs first. Our daughter has some special needs and we were worried about finding a gym that could handle her massive personality and this has been an amazing fit. Im amazed how much she has progressed in her JJ game.
Coach Breck is highly professional and easy to approach! Very clean environment. A welcoming atmosphere that puts you at ease. All the coaches are exceptional and you or your loved ones will be well took care of.
Our son has trained at Leviathan for over 5 years, and we have been so grateful for the investment the coaches have made in him. Breck and his coaching staff are teaching respect, discipline, and responsibility in addition to jiujitsu skills.
Great gym, great coaches. Great tournament prep/competition philosophy for serious students, while still being accessible and patient with beginners. I highly recommend this gym.
New to muay thai? Start at Leviathan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Chattanooga
Leviathan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Chattanooga comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Leviathan Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Chattanooga
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.
