BJJ and MMA Near Old Hickory, TN

Old Hickory sits northeast of Music Valley, about fifteen minutes away via Old Hickory Blvd. The Old Hickory Village district gives the area a distinct, residential character — a community that values tradition and wants the real thing, not a watered-down version.

The challenge from Old Hickory is that serious combat sports options are thin in that direction. You shouldn't have to settle for a casual gym when real coaching is a short drive south. Michael Merriman has over 15 years as a coach and cornerman, with athletes who've competed in the UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce, and M1 Global. National and world champions have come out of his coaching.

Fifteen minutes is close enough to train consistently without the drive eating your day. Consistency is what builds skill — and Wildside is the natural choice for Old Hickory residents who want coaching that's been tested at the highest level of the sport.

From Old Hickory, Wildside is your destination for Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, fitness, and armored combat — with 24-hour member access for when your schedule doesn't fit the staffed hours. Book your free trial class today.
