Berserker Jiu-Jitsu Club in Memphis, Tennessee

“I started training with Mike Houston in my early 30u2019s back in 2019 to try something new after becoming a mom! I had a small athletic background with CrossFit & yoga but I didnu2019t know anything about grappling, wrestling or jujitsu. If youu2019re looking for a gym that can teach you a little bit of everything all while making it fun youu2019ve come to the right place.

“Iu2019ve trained in multiple gyms but this is where Iu2019ve found a home. I have yet to find a place more welcoming. The instruction is top notch and easy to understand. Mike breaks down the fundamentals into an easy to digest program but makes sure that advanced players are challenged too. I have seen new people come in and in short order become more difficult to deal with. You can see progression in everyone that is there”

“We stopped in for a class while visiting and loved the experience! I liked how Mike taught his class, he knows his stuff and can teach it to others well. The kids class was also a good experience for my son, Ray taught the class a good jj technique while still making it fun for the kids. Definitely stopping by here again if we are in the area!”

“Couldn't have asked for a better place to drop in on a recent work trip. The scheduling process was easy. Mike and his crew were very welcoming. Everyone introduced themselves and made me feel at home. Techniques were clear and the class structure was similar to where I train at home. Will definitely be back next time I pass through Memphis.”

I was in town on business and Coach Mike and his students welcomed me with open arms. The level of instruction and the workout were top notch. Its a great environment with lots of folks at all ranks. Everyone I rolled with had great pressure without trying to turn each roll into”

The transition has been smooth thanks to the guidance and extensive expertise of Mike Houston, the gym's owner and head instructor.
