Outbox Jiu Jitsu Fit in Knoxville is well known within the martial arts community for its commitment to teaching high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Self-Defense, and Mixed Martial Arts.
At our academy, students receive hands-on attention from world-class instructors who closely monitor progress in a clean, safe, and family-friendly environment. Our goal is to help every student grow with confidence, discipline, and enjoyment on the mats.
Our instructors trained under Professor Draculino at the original Gracie Barra BH Academy in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Under the guidance of Master Carlos Gracie Jr. and Professor Draculino, the Outbox instructors developed their technical foundation on the same mats as some of the most respected athletes and coaches in the history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Today, members of this lineage are based in Knoxville, teaching Monday through Saturday at the Outbox Jiu Jitsu Fit Academy. We are also fortunate to host elite athletes from around the world who regularly visit and share their knowledge with our students.
