Leviathan Brazilian BJJ Academy

Leviathan Brazilian BJJ Academy operates under the guidance of Head Instructor Breck Still, a 2nd degree black belt who trained extensively with multiple-time world champion Samuel Braga. Breck’s background spans competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Shotokan Karate under Shihan Adrian Ellis, Muay Thai, Judo, and wrestling from his high school days. His competitive achievements include medals at IBJJF Pans and Nashville events, as well as a 2nd place finish at ADCC 2025 and double gold at the Abu Dhabi Nationals in 2024. This diverse martial arts foundation informs the academy’s curriculum, which emphasizes practical self-defense alongside traditional BJJ techniques. At Leviathan, the training program includes classes for all ages, with specific offerings for tinys, kids, and juniors, ensuring a progression that builds solid fundamentals before moving into intermediate and advanced skills. While gi classes form the core of the instruction, students also practice Muay Thai and kickboxing to complement grappling with striking arts. The academy supports competition preparation and provides private lessons for personalized development. Open mat sessions are regularly available for adults, welcoming drop-ins and fostering additional mat time beyond structured classes. The academy maintains two locations, including its main facility at 450 Broad Street in Cleveland, Tennessee, and another in Chattanooga. The gym’s philosophy is rooted in combining fitness, self-defense, and martial arts training, encouraging students to begin their journey immediately rather than waiting to “get in shape.” This approach reflects Breck’s commitment to accessible, effective instruction grounded in decades of martial arts experience.
