Ground Level BJJ
About
Ground Level Judo and BJJ on West Burton
Ground Level BJJ sits on West Burton Street in central Murfreesboro, specializing in high-level Judo alongside Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and a 24/7 fitness center membership. The school is one of the few facilities in the Murfreesboro market with a dedicated judo program rather than judo-as-afterthought to a BJJ-first curriculum.
Kids Judo and BJJ Programs
Children's classes start as young as age 3 in jiu-jitsu, with judo training built into the broader grappling curriculum for older students. Programs include:
- Kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (starting at age 3)
- High-level Judo (throwing technique, randori, traditional Kodokan training)
- Women-only classes (separate session for girls and women)
- Muay Thai (striking complement on the same schedule)
- Adult grappling and 24/7 fitness center access
What's Included
- Dedicated judo program, not just BJJ with a judo class thrown in
- Kids BJJ starting at age 3
- Women-only training option (rare in mid-Tennessee martial arts)
- 24/7 fitness center access included with membership
- Second Murfreesboro location at 2089 Lascassas Pike Suite D for schedule flexibility
Experience
The high-level judo emphasis distinguishes Ground Level from the BJJ-only schools that dominate the Murfreesboro grappling scene. The 24/7 fitness center add-on means a parent can train while a child takes class, then continue their own workout after. The women-only class is a meaningful option in a market where most grappling rooms run heavily male. Pattern fits families that want their child learning both judo throws and ground BJJ rather than picking one and missing the other.
