Cookeville Jiu-jitsu

Cookeville Jiu-jitsu We teach Brazilian Jiu-jitsu for self defense. At Cookeville Jiu-jitsu we are focused on providing solid instruction in the art of Gracie Jiu-jitsu.

Our facility is clean and safe. The head instructor is Jack Mclain. Ranked under Royce Gracie in 2001, Mr. Mclain has over 14 years of training in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. He is also a former law enforcement officer and has extensive combat weapons training. Our mission at Cookeville Jiu-jitsu is to make you able to defend yourself and the ones you love on the street. We do not teach sport techniques. We can show you techniques that you can use immediately, not just after 20 years of practice.

As most of my friends know, I’ve been teaching Jiu-jitsu for about 16 years now. I run a school in Cookeville. Thanks to new construction near my school. My rent has gone up considerably. I’ve also recently lost several students due to work complications, moving, etc.

If any of you know anyone who might be interested in adult classes or kids classes, please reach out. Kids classes are for ages seven and up. Adult classes are 13 and up. But don’t think you are too old to train. I have students that are pushing 60 years old.

Pretty sure I have the best rates of any Jiu-jitsu Academy in Cookeville. I don’t do contracts, I do monthly payments so there’s no fear of getting locked into something you can’t get out of.

I will also work with parents if they would like to use my school as PE for their homeschooled kids. I offer a family discount for multiple family members.

Message me if you have any questions or call or text me at 1 (731) 432-9101

Social media makes it easy to think you need another technique.

Another guard.
Another submission.
Another highlight to save for later.

But jiu-jitsu isn’t about collecting moves.

It’s about understanding the principles that make those moves work.

When you understand posture, balance, leverage, timing, and pressure, you stop memorizing techniques and start solving problems.

The techniques will change.

The principles won’t.
