Liberty BJJ

Liberty BJJ in Grovetown, Georgia, is shaped by the experience of head instructor Chris Elms, a third-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as well as a black belt in Judo and Karate. Chris has trained in both Brazil and Japan and brings a technical, memorable teaching style to the mats. Alongside him is Chris Wheeler, a black belt since 2018 who has competed extensively and learned from world-class athletes like Marcelo Garcia and Lucas Lepri. The coaching team also includes instructors with backgrounds in Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA, each bringing their own strengths and a hands-on approach to teaching. The academy offers a broad schedule for both kids and adults, with a clear progression from fundamentals to advanced techniques. Children as young as three can start in preschool or beginner classes, with age-specific groups for 5–7, 6–9, 8–12, and 10–14. Both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are available, and classes are designed to build confidence, coordination, and solid technique through drills and controlled sparring. For adults, Liberty BJJ runs fundamental and intermediate classes in both gi and no-gi formats, focusing on self-defense and technical growth. Open mat sessions provide extra time for drilling and sparring. Striking arts are also a key part of the program, with Muay Thai and kickboxing classes for adults and kids. The Muay Thai instructors emphasize foundational skills, discipline, and continuous improvement, offering everything from beginner classes to advanced training with sparring for those who want to push further. The academy welcomes families, with several coaches who train alongside their own children and encourage parents to get involved, fostering a family-friendly atmosphere built on encouragement and steady progress.
