This gym is great! The facility is huge, clean, and top-notch, but it’s the culture that really stands out. Alex and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, offering expert techniques and details that level up your game. Whether you’re a local or just dropping in, the team makes you feel right at home. If you’re in Memphis, I highly recommend checking them out!

This is where I started my BJJ journey back in 2018. I moved from Memphis but will always come in for a class when I'm visiting.The gym has been upgraded a lot from when I started and to every time I visit there seems to be new improvements to the facility. Would highly recommend taking a class with the coaches Doug Larson and Ryan Dalton who are both black belts. They are both very knowledgeable and skilled at BJJ.

Finding MGA has truly been such a gift to our family. The training is intense and challenging, but what makes it even more special is the irreplaceable community that comes with it. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better… it does. MGA offers adult classes at the same time as the kids’ classes, so parents can get an incredible workout in right alongside their children. Being able to train at the same time as my kids has created an amazing rhythm for our family. Working out and growing stronger together has become something we genuinely look forward to! Because of the genuine warmth and kindness of everyone there, we’ve also built a whole new circle of friends. MGA isn’t just a gym for us—it’s a place we’re always excited to go and one we try to get to as often as possible!

Me and the kids love it here. When I first came to the area I knew this was the gym we would stay at. Great Instructors, Students, and Rolls. If you haven’t checked out Midtown Grappling Academy you are missing out.

Professor Alex is one of the nicest people I met in jiu jitsu. What started as a one off drop in from a work trip turned into something much more — a second home which I could always count on every time I would visit Memphis. The gym is incredibly spacious and the people are EXTREMELY welcoming and friendly. MGA also runs a fantastic kids program. Overall, I couldn’t recommend MGA enough — if you have the chance to visit, don’t hesitate! You won’t regret it.
