From the reviews
Dropped-in randomly as I was traveling and had really awesome training. Did the Thursday class 6-8pm, clear instruction on technique and I really enjoyed how the class was organized.
Coach Lance is an amazing and accomplished martial artist, and a very devoted instructor. Regardless of what your goals are, I promise Lance and Crossville Jiu Jitsu and Thai Boxing can make them become a reality. Lance is determined to build his students into the best version of themselves.
Here in Tennessee visiting family. Gave the gym a call and owner lance answered right before he was heading into church. Which was awesome. I arrived at the gym and everyone was very welcoming. Owner / coach was also very welcoming.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This gym is truly a hidden gem for anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, or MMA. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like family.
New to kickboxing? Start at Crossville Jiu Jitsu & Thai Boxing
Crossville Jiu Jitsu & Thai Boxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Crossville Jiu Jitsu & Thai Boxing
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
