MICHAEL WARD - BUSINESS OWNER / INSTRUCTOR

Michael Ward is the founder and owner of the FITBJJ academy gym in Knoxville (Maryville / Alcoa). With over 20 years of experience in the fitness gym industry and an extensive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing and Muay Thai background, Michael has decided to move himself and his family from Sydney, Australia to Maryville, TN to pursue his passion for fitness and martial arts as a successful businessman.

Having a profound understanding of the fitness industry, fitness equipment, and the applicability of Jiu-jitsu, Boxing and Muay Thai as a practice, Michael knew there was great potential to unravel by having all martial arts meet under the same umbrella. Thus, the FITBJJ academy gym was born in the Knoxville - Blount County area.
