Jonathan started training Jiu-Jitsu in 2013 in Knoxville, TN as a way to learn self-defense & to stay in shape. He has competed in over 100 tournaments including the biggest tournaments in the United States, and in 2016, he began training kickboxing.
After several years of working as an Insurance Underwriter, he decided to leave the corporate world and open his own martial arts school, and with little to no martial arts in the Dickson County area, he decided that there was no better place than home to open his school.
In addition to teaching martial arts which improves physical fitness, enhances mental well-being, teaches self-defense skills, and discipline, he will also focus highly on the sense of community built in the school and give back to the community through volunteer work and fundraising.
