Resolute Martial Arts & Fitness is the place to go if you want to sharpen your skills in many ways. Training here has aloud me to gain the skills necessary to survive and help others in need. It has sharpened my awareness to my surroundings, the ability to continue in uncomfortable situations, and to keep going and stand strong even after getting kicked in the face. I fully recommend picking Cody, and his gym, for training.
We absolutely love Resolute Martial Arts. Our 10 year old son is enrolled in the kids Jiu-jitsu class. We have noticed since he started that he has better focus in his school work and other activities. Cody and his instructors are so good with the kids. They even host Parents Nights Out, which the kids LOVE. I highly recommend checking them out if you are looking for training.
Cody Jordan is by far one of the best instructors I have ever known. He is wonderful with my kids and does a great job keeping them engaged in a way where they have a tremendous amount of fun and learn crucial skills that will benefit them as they get older.
I have also had the pleasure of training with him in Jiu Jitsu and his knowledge and expertise are far above his years in the disciplines he teaches. I can’t think of anyone better to teach in Oak Ridge for self-defense and combat sports. He is very passionate about his work and extremely knowledgeable. I can’t imagine anyone being disappointed with his program.
This place is wonderful for helping kids gain self-confidence, learn discipline and makes learning martial arts fun. Cody is a patient teacher that encourages his students to be their best, on the mat and outside his class. He is an amazing role model that motivates his students through kindness and consistency.
If you're looking for a place that helps motivates your kid to be their best, this is the place for you.

It is hard to put into words just how amazing this gym is. My kids absolutely love training here, and I am so grateful for the fact that they are being taught more that just martial arts. They are focusing on character building just as much as they are learning martial arts. Cody has worked hard to really bring a family vibe to this place and he is so insanely encouraging. The leadership spills out to everyone who walks through the doors. The gym members as well as other parents are all super inclusive, and I love how it really is like a big family. I have seen so much progress in the few months my son has been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and even more so the confidence that has been built in him. That increased confidence comes from the CONSTANT encouragement and outpouring of genuine love for these kids, which is so apparent once you walk through those doors.
As a veteran of the Navy Intelligence community, a fellow entrepreneur and community builder, and a mental health worker, I have been incredibly impressed with the family atmosphere and culture of excellence at Resolute Martial Arts and Fitness. As one of Cody’s initial students, his growth and trajectory have been astonishing to watch, and his success is no coincidence. Cody and Resolute Martial Arts are successful because they are experts at what they do, they actively listen to feedback, and they always seek to add value for their community members.
Jiu Jitsu is an incredible mental health tool for anyone, but for veterans and first responders in particular. It provides an outlet to safely participate in simulated warfare while respecting the health and safety of your training partners. For some, it’s meditative and helps them achieve a flow state. For others, it’s a chance to release stored aggression in a respectful and controlled environment. Some people train to compete with others, but all of us train to compete with ourselves.
Regardless of your current fitness level or prior experience with martial arts, Cody and his team will help you feel welcomed and safe while developing your skillset in a way that can help you protect the people you love. You will experience a caring community that comes together in times of need, and you will gain access to a host of mentors and peers who can help you develop yourself into the person you seek to become.
All students of Resolute Martial Arts and Fitness are offered one free mentorship session through East TN Mentorship Association, LLC.
Cody and his team here do a fantastic job focusing on not only teaching, coaching, and mentoring folks in Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense. They are all around great humans to be around, and foster an environment for everyone to learn and grow.
My 8 year old is learning some great life skills with the help from Resolute Martial Arts. She's learning confidence, patience, and determination. She's learning to set goals. She's learning skills to help her reach those goals. Self control and self confidence is something she has been struggling with. Her attitude has truly changed since starting classes with these awesome instructors.
Great experience, kid friendly, and a good gym culture of growth. Cody (The gym owner) has put together a good gym schedule and a curriculum that has worked for Myself and my 6 year old son. My sons confidence has raised and he begs to go to class. The morning classes with Chad during the week and Adam during the weekend allow me to get training in within my business schedule. I recommend bringing yourself and your children and making it a bonding experience. Thankful for the experience!
I really enjoy taking the kickboxing classes here! They are a great for stress relief and exercise. Everyone there is welcoming, and I've been able to easily join in as a beginner.
I've gone to classes conducted by Cody and Abby so far, and they made the classes fun and were very knowledgeable about kickboxing.
Cody has also been happy to help with an questions I've had about the gym/membership/etc!
I definitely recommend Resolute Martial Arts& Fitness!
Cody is an amazing instructor and person. The gym has a welcoming and friendly environment with instructors that are very knowledgeable. It is a great place to learn self-defense, train to compete, or get in shape. Definitely recommend!!!
My family loves Resolute Martial Arts & Fitness. It started with my 6 year old son wanting to take a Martial Arts class. When my 12 year old daughter who is a ballet and pointe dancer found out she wanted to join in the fun. They are having a great experience together in the same class. I realized they had kick boxing classes which I have always loved to participate in. I invited a good friend and now we have a fun healthy activity to do together. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to take classes here.
I had no prior MMA training or experience, but was interested in giving it a try to stay in shape and learn a new skill. Cody did great at making me feel comfortable from the very beginning, and now it’s something I look forward to every time I go. Highly recommend
Both of my step kids go here and it is great. They get active, learn how to defend themselves, have fun, and learn discipline and respect. They love the parents night out, so they get to play and have fun, eat, and watch movies. I don’t think there is one instructor that the kids don’t like. I myself have found that it is very affordable. It feels like a small community that is nice to be part of.
I’ve attended multiple cardio kickboxing classes and they have been amazing. The instructors have been knowledgeable and so motivating. The classes are challenging but doable. They definitely challenge you and make you feel as though you can do it all! I would highly recommend to anyone who would listen.
I only recently started taking Brazillian Jiu Jitsu classes at Resolute Martial Arts & Fitness and I couldn't be more excited to be there! The atmosphere is so welcoming, Cody is fantastic at helping you understand what the gym is about and Chad, the instructor I've had, has been so knowledgeable and patient. It'd always difficult to step out on faith and try something new, but the members and leadership at Resolute made me feel so welcome and immediately I felt like part of the family.
Great group of people there every time I go to their nogi open mat. Lots of skill levels and a willingness to share knowledge and learn. Cody, the owner, is always super welcoming and friendly.
Outstanding place to train for kids and adults regardless of your situation. Trainers and trainees are very understanding which makes it a judgment free zone. You can either start as a beginner or improve on your skills. Cody is very involved in his community and cares about it. Great place!!!
Mr. Jordan provides a safe and inviting environment for children (and adults) to learn martial arts. He keeps the class fun while maintaining discipline. He is very patient with newcomers while driving their growth in a healthy way. The free first week was a great way to learn more about the class format and the absence of high pressure sales was a relief. There are a wide variety of classes and days to choose from. My son loves the classes and I appreciate the environment of family, camaraderie, and brotherhood fostered there. Highly recommend.
If you want the best from you or your kids time spent on fitness and defense training, this is the place to be. Reach out to the staff and start the dialogue, you will see what I mean. They keep the individuals best interests in mind from the go, and the owners have a holistic approach to the health of both body and mind.
Instructor really knows his stuff! Great environment for those just starting out or those looking to sharpen their skills.
Cody is one of the best instructors out there!
Cody is an outstanding martial artist and does an excellent job passing on his expertise to his students.
Jiu jitsu has changed my life and my mental health, Cody is an awesome instructor for all ages, 10/10, cannot recommend enough. Wanna change your life? Join our family. It’s really that easy.
