About Shield Systems Academy

Shield Systems Academy in Knoxville, Tennessee, offers a blend of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts training under one roof. While the academy’s leadership and lineage details are not publicly highlighted, the school emphasizes an inclusive atmosphere where practitioners of all levels train without judgment. Its mission centers on sharing martial arts knowledge and fostering personal growth through consistent practice. The academy’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program focuses primarily on gi training for adults, featuring multiple classes throughout the week that include fundamental instruction, sparring sessions, and a class called "Fighters Only" that likely caters to those preparing for competition or more intensive training. The schedule also includes open mat times on Saturdays, providing opportunities for additional drilling and rolling beyond structured classes. For younger students, Shield Systems offers distinct Kids BJJ and Kids Kickboxing classes, typically scheduled in the late afternoon and early evening. These classes run on alternating days and provide a structured environment for children to develop martial arts skills alongside physical fitness. Adults can also train in kickboxing, with classes and sparring sessions available multiple evenings, supporting striking skills alongside grappling disciplines. Located at 8651 Middlebrook Pike, the academy maintains a steady schedule that supports consistent training across its martial arts offerings. While specific coaching credentials are not detailed, the varied class types and times suggest a facility designed for steady progression in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and striking arts.
