Ladies - Come train with us! After 2 years of my husband and oldest son training with Professor Breck, I finally tried my 1st class. A year has flown by and I LOVE it! I wish I would have started training earlier (especially before I moved away to college). The coaches are very knowledgeable, and will help you regardless of how you want to use bjj - self-defense, exercise, competitively, etc. We have fun while learning in a safe & friendly environment.

Love this gym. Whenever I am in the Chattanooga Metropolitan area, even if I’m passing through, I make sure to train here. 10/10. Highly recommend.

Leviathan was my first martial arts gym that I’ve came to and mostly enjoyed. My brother and I first trained there 2 years ago and still stuck to the gym due to the friendly environment and encouragement Breck, several black belt instructors, and peers have given us. Me and my brother have learned a lot from this gym and still continuously practice at home when we get the chance. As a women, it was hard to find others to train with but there has been a multitude of women coming in to Leviathan. I would love to encourage more women to try this gym out as well as men and children. Hands down the best place to train at where everyone feels like family.

Top tier bjj gym, a ton of extremely well educated coaches and lots of good people/training partners. I would highly recommend this gym for both kids and adults! Whether competing or just for casual training you will get what your looking for! Also great schedule with opportunity to train 6 days a week!

Leviathan Academy offers a safe and welcoming environment if you're interested in learning the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You will find knowledgeable instructors that are able to assist in whatever goals you may have whether it be competition, fitness or self-defense. Both morning and afternoon classes are offered, making it easy to fit a busy schedule. Overall, my experience at Leviathan has been very enjoyable.

I've been attending Leviathan for a few years now. Breck Still is an excellent coach with a plethora of knowledge and the experience to back it up. He is attentive to each student's needs and responds to feedback well. The students themselves are a variety of personalities and are overall great people who will work with one another to achieve excellence in a safe manner. I couldn't imagine a better training environment!

Leviathan Academy is a great place to train with lots of good people and high-level coaches. They make sure everyone feels welcome and is apart of everything coach Breck and the others have to offer. Every class I've attended I learn something new and everyone is there to help you become better. The amount of knowledge walking around is on a whole different level and I couldn't think of a better place to learn the art of Jiu-Jitsu.

I have been training with Leviathan for going on two years now and I have literally become addicted. It has transformed my life and now is starting to trickle into my kids lives. This gym checks all of the boxes.-Flexible schedule ✅-Competitive and/or recreational environments ✅-Outstanding opportunities for all ages (great for families)✅-A++ coaching staff ✅✅What sets Leviathan apart more than anything is the environment that breck and his staff have created. Everyone is like family here and have treated me and my family as such since day one. I have trained mostly under the instruction of Ben Endo since day one at the morning classes and couldn’t be more pleased. Ben is an outstanding coach and even better person.

Just passed my 1 year anniversary training at Leviathan. BJJ and Leviathan has changed my life! The community and coaching staff are incredible and really have pushed me to become a better version of myself.They have tons of classes for both me and my kids. The two weeks free in the beginning was great as it let me test the waters out, and the fact that there are no contracts speaks to the quality of their coaching.

We were in Cleveland for two weeks and they allowed my son to train there while we were visiting. The coaches and parents were all so kind and helpful. The kids were so nice and very welcoming to my son. We had a great experience! Thank you Leviathan for having us!

Jiu-jitsu is for everybody and everybody is welcome. Leviathan Academy and head instructor Breck Still embody this approach to the sport.Instructors present lessons in a way that all practitioners can understand. Breck and his knowledgeable instructors have a depth of Jiu-Jitsu and teaching experience like no other gym. He can help you take your Jit-Jitsu to the next level, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned veteran.All types of people comprise classes at Leviathan Academy. Some multi-sport athletes attend Jiu-Jitsu classes to round out their training. Some are refining their competitive nature, while others are learning self-defense and how to use force appropriately. Still, others just enjoy seeing their friends in class.Kids' classes are fun and have excellent attendance. These classes are a great way for youngsters to develop a competitive spirit but at their pace. Coach Breck does an incredible job teaching kids jiu-jitsu so everyone has fun and stays safe. Leviathan Academy kids practice many of the same moves that you see pros perform, but they practice them safely under monitoring coaches.There is a variety of classes that you can tailor to your schedule and personal preferences. Lessons include both the sport and the self-defense aspects of Jiu-Jitsu. Leviathan Academy truly nurtures diversity in both compositions of class participants and the lessons taught during those classes.

I came from Canada on bussiness. While at the plant I saw this BIG ole southern boy with a Jui Jitsu t shirt. Struck up a conversation with him and he invited to the gym. Came to his class and sure enough this gym encomapsses the spirit of brazillian jui jitsu with a southern flare that makes you feel welcome and at home while learning from top level instructors that focus on technique over everything else. Anyone who trains or wants and has the chance to train with Professor Still can rest assured that will learn from someone who loves Brazillian Jui Jitsu and their students growth and development. Obrigado. ❤

Meanwhile making plans to travel to Cleveland, TN for work I also wanted to visit a jiu jitsu gym during the week I am in town. After I did a research I found Laviathan Acadamy . I sent an email to see if would be ok to drop in for a class. In no time Breck replied and said he would be happy to have me (unfortunately I did not had the opportunity to meet with Professor Breck because he was on vacation during my week there). Everyone was super friendly, welcoming and skillful. The gym has plenty of mat space. If you are traveling to Cleveland, TN or live in the area I highly recommend that you visit this facility.
