Our Story
Crossville's home for
real martial arts.
Crossville Jiu Jitsu and Thai Boxing trains students in Crossville and Cumberland County the same way coaches train competitors — no shortcuts, no fluff, no contracts that trap you.

Real instruction, real lineage.
Crossville Jiu Jitsu and Thai Boxing is led by head coach Lance McConnell — a brown belt under Brandon McCaughren and an official Bang Striking affiliate coach. We offer complete programs in No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu and Thai Boxing for adults and children.
Whether you want to lose some weight and get in shape or become a well-rounded martial artist, you'll get real instruction from a brown belt and Bang Striking coach — no shortcuts, no fluff.
How we're different
- Instructors with real competition experience. Our coaches have competed and put in the rounds. You learn from people who've done the work.
- A real training facility. Wall-to-wall matted space built for jiu-jitsu and Thai boxing — room to drill, roll, and spar safely.
- Month-to-month memberships. No long-term contracts. We earn your membership every month.
- Beginner-safe by design. New students drill for weeks before any live sparring. We train to be good at this for 30 years, not 30 days.
- No egos, no cliques. The fastest way to get laughed out of our gym is to be a jerk to a new student.
