Foothills Martial Arts & Gracie Jiu-Jitsu

Foothills Martial Arts offers a true and authentic Jiu-Jitsu experience in Maryville, Tennessee. The dojo teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a gentle art that increases focus, concentration, patience, mood and confidence, as well as physical benefits such as strength and flexibility. Professor Jerry Burns, a first-degree black belt, teaches classes for adults and children of all skill levels, including law enforcement defensive tactics and youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The classes are based on the original program developed by Master Luiz Palhares, who was trained directly by the Gracie family.
