Jiu-Jitsu in Oak Grove, KY
MMAFFC is 10 minutes south on 41A. Military-friendly, no contracts, and your first class is completely free.
Oak Grove sits directly between Hopkinsville and Clarksville along 41A — and directly adjacent to Fort Campbell. For Oak Grove residents, MMAFFC is a 10 to 12-minute drive south on 41A. For military families living off-post in Oak Grove, the gym is closer than most of the on-post options would be.
Why Oak Grove Residents Train at MMAFFC
The 41A corridor between Oak Grove and Clarksville is one of the most-traveled local roads, which means the drive is familiar territory and traffic is predictable in both directions. For Oak Grove students with a normal weekday schedule, 7PM adult class works without rushing — leave home at 6:40, on the mat by 6:55.
The student demographic at MMAFFC has always included a meaningful Oak Grove contingent. A lot of military families settle in Oak Grove specifically because of cost-of-living and the school district, and those families want their kids in real martial arts rather than what's available at the elementary school after-care program. Little Warriors at 5PM and Junior BJJ at 6PM both work cleanly for Oak Grove parents picking kids up from Christian County schools.
What Makes the Training Different
Coach Don Dees is a BJJ black belt under Prof. Matt Larsen, founder of the Modern Army Combatives Program. For Oak Grove residents — particularly the military families who make up much of the population — that lineage means something concrete. The fundamentals taught at MMAFFC are the same fundamentals MACP is built on. Soldiers who have already trained MACP at Fort Campbell come in already familiar with the technical vocabulary.
Civilians and dependents who haven't trained MACP get the same curriculum from the ground up. Coach Don teaches everyone in the room — that's the standard.
No Contracts. No Sign-Up Fees.
The no-contract model fits Oak Grove specifically because the population is transient. Military PCS cycles, new construction families moving through the rental market, civilian contractors at Fort Campbell on rotating assignments — long-term contracts make no sense for any of those situations. MMAFFC has always operated month to month.
First Class Is Free
MMAFFC is at 2126 Fort Campbell Blvd Suite B, Clarksville, TN 37042. From Oak Grove, head south on 41A — about 10 minutes.
