About

Greenville Academy Mixed Martial Arts has been Training Champions for over 25 years. We were the first academy to introduce Mixed Martial Arts and Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Eastern North Carolina. As a Luiz Palhares–certified Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school, we provide world-class instruction in a welcoming, non-intimidating environment. In addition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we also offer Muay Thai Kickboxing and Mixed Martial Arts, creating a well-rounded training experience for all ages and skill levels. Our academy is built on a strong family atmosphere—many of our students train alongside their children, and we are proud to have four generations of the founding Speight family teaching, training, and rolling on our mats.
