Knoxville Martial Arts Academy

May 2024

This place is a second home, not only a martial arts academy. The people here will give you the shirt off of their back, and not even wish for anything in return. The instruction here is very high level, and unlike some places I’ve been to, open minded. Each instructor is respectful, kind, and knowledgeable. I went here 12 years ago, found my way back, and was treated as if I never left. Please do yourself a favor and stop in, because this is a lifestyle commitment not just a fly by night fitness gym. Love KMAA so much that it’s hard to even put it into words.

KMAA is an awesome environment for adults and kids. All the staff are so welcoming as well as knowledgeable. My kids had a blast taking their first jiu-jitsu class and I had a great time kickboxing. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

In just the few short practices that Eric and the KMAA team have worked with me on, I already feel like part of family. I’ve know Professor Eric for years and have always had a high level of respect and admiration for him. Now getting the chance to be apart of the team in preparation for my 11th professional fight has been nothing short of extraordinary. The environment, the culture, the people, and coaches is simply second to none. As long as I continue to decide to make walks to the cage, KMAA will be a huge part of my life so long as they are willing to put up with my old but. Everyone from top to bottom day 1 or 1000 there is a place for you on this team!
