Great gym, great people. I was traveling through Knoxville and had the good fortune to get to train at Cate for the weekend! Their whole team was very welcoming and very kind to me while we trained and chatted. The team was gritty and tough. They showed great skill across the whole of jiujitsu. Especially wrestling. The skill level and the environment shows a great level of leadership in the gym. Whether you’re traveling through or looking for a gym to call home. This is a place that you can have fun and get good at martial arts. Can’t recommend them enough enough!

I came to Cates's as a 38 year old guy brand new to martial arts. Joining this gym was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I've made. For over two years now, I leave every class and open mat feeling glad that I showed up and put in the work. Coach and my teammates are highly valued and I welcome anyone who wants to come in and train to improve their lives on multiple fronts.

Josh is a great instructor who is extremely easy to talk to and very helpful especially as a beginner. Everyone in the classes is super supportive and wants to see each other succeed. If you are looking to actually get better and get quality coaching definitely check out this gym.

Josh Cate's gym is incredible. Josh welcomed me as a complete novice and fosters an environment of high level instruction paired with mutual respect between all gym-goers. Aside from being a master of his craft, Josh is one of the best coaches I've had in 10+ years of athletics, who genuinely wants to see you succeed in whatever your aspirations are. Consider becoming a part of this safe space to struggle.

This is a great gym, I would recommend anyone who is interested in starting or continuing their training to check it out! I believe the gym is great for several reasons. Coach Cate is a top notch teacher who keeps the students engaged, learning new techniques, motivated, safe and having a good time. The gym caters to hobbyists and pros/amateur fighters alike. The students are great, with a range of people of different walks of life with varying fitness levels and skills levels. This is one of the only places in town I know of that focuses entirely on No Gi. There is a focus on ground technique's and stand up techniques. The price is unbeatable.
