Join us for the grand opening of Checkmat Knoxville on Saturday, January 10, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at 4638 Rutledge Pike, Knoxville, TN 37914—and bring the whole family. This is more than a new Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy; it’s a place where kids (5–12) and teens (13–17) can learn real self-defense, build confidence, and grow through a structured, life-skills-centered program, while parents find a welcoming team committed to respect, discipline, and community.
Alongside training that prioritizes a safe, supportive environment, we’re proud to offer a wellness-minded experience with our Nutrition Center, featuring options like açaí bowls, protein shakes, teas, and supplements—because strong families are built with both movement and mindful fuel. Come meet your new community, tour the academy, and help us kick off a safer, healthier, more empowered Knoxville—together. Food and prizes & specials will be available.
