About Midtown Grappling Academy

Midtown Grappling Academy is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym at 584 Tillman St in the historic Midtown neighbourhood. It is led by Professor Alexandre Meadows, a third-degree black belt under Marcelo Garcia and a Rio de Janeiro native who opened the gym in 2016 after helping build other Memphis schools; he was the first Memphis grappler to win an IBJJF World title and remains an active competitor. The timetable runs three days of gi and two of no-gi with 5:30 am, 12:15 pm and 5:45 pm classes, plus a kids class at 5:30 pm deliberately scheduled so parents can train on the other half of the mat while their children train.
