Mad Science is a excellent place to learn and improve anything martial arts. Coach Ted not only is a amazing instructor but also very patient with newcomers like myself. The community at Mad Science is also great and the people are Friendly and nice, and willing to help other improve.

I knew Mad Science Judo and Jiu-jitsu had a good reputation, but was glad to experience it first hand! If you are looking for high level self-defense and a welcoming atmosphere than Mad Science is the place to be! Coach Chittenden and his academy is highly recommended!

Mad Science is an awesome gym with great people!

Ted runs a great school at Mad Science, very detailed in his teaching and breaks techniques down into laymans terms. Hes a very knowledgeable coach with a great personality, and Ive enjoyed being able to train with him.If youre in the Oak Ridge area, give Mad Science a try! You wont be disappointed!

Was in town for work and was looking for a place to roll. I highly recommend these guys! Ted was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the skills on display are top notch. If youre looking for a place to train or try your hand at any of the grappling arts, be sure to check them out!! Ill be back every time I am in town!

I was looking for a place to train while I was on a business trip to Oak Ridge. I contacted coach Ted and he was responsive and welcoming. Had a great experience rolling at Mad Science! Coach Ted and his students were all good people and fun to train with. Ill be back the next time I find myself in the Oak Ridge area.

I stopped into this BJJ place and I found a piece of Heaven!!! Great instruction by Black belt Ted. I am instructor at my school and I learned great things even when it comes to instruction. Ted is a scientist of the fighting art without doubt. Thanks Ted!!!

I could not be happier with the quality of the instruction and the comfort level walking in the door. Ted is an easy conversation and will defiantly keep things understandable regardless of the level you are on. Not only do I train, but my kids train with him as well. And, I have no reservations about recommending him to any adult or child wanting to learn.

Ted is a wonderful teacher who cares about his students on and off the mat. He is welcoming to everyone, inexperienced or experienced. MSJJ focuses on self defense and safety over stylish fads. Although Ted will support those that want to compete, he wont pressure you into doing it. He also cares about the BJJ community in Knoxville and the south east and welcomes visitors from the local area. Definitely worth trying a class.

Ted is a great instructor. If you are having problems with a move, he will break it down into smaller pieces, ensuring you will learn the move. Class environment is welcoming and everyone helps each other learn.Pedro Sauer affiliate.

If you are looking at trying Jiu-Jitsu for you or your child in the oak ridge/ Knoxville area, I highly recommend trying mad science judo and Jiu-Jitsu. I train and live in Louisiana and I visit the area a couple times a year and have been looking for a go to gym while Im in the area. I visited an open mat on Friday, and immediately felt a good vibe the moment I walked in from the instructor and a couple of his students.Ted ( the black belt instructor) treated me like a valued member of his academy and personally showed me some techniques I could improve while rolling with him. The school had great people, great atomsphere, and great instruction. By the end of the training, the people there had me feeling like I was an actual member of the school. I cant describe enough how encouraging and great the people were here. I highly recommend once again, go give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. I will visit Everytime I am back in town

Ted is an excellent instructor. Not only would I train with him, I would also trust my children there as well. If you are looking for a great self defense based curriculum or want to learn some of the sportier BJJ or Judo, Ted is the guy. If you are in his area you are missing out if you arent training at Mad Science!

I had the pleasure of training with Ted for many years while we served together in the Army, It would be very hard to find a better person to teach/ coach your kids in Judo and/ or Brazilian Jiu- jitsu. Ted is not only extremely technical and detail oriented, but is also, a person that exemplifies loyalty, integrity, and honor in his daily life.

Great training location conveniently located in the heart of the secret city. I trained there for two days while visiting family in Oakridge and could not be more impressed with the quality and depth of knowledge the instructor brings from his 30+ years of martial arts experience. The BJJ instruction is grounded solidly in the fundamentals of both self defense and competition depending on what you want to train on. The instructor works with your experience level, goals, and everything you bring to the gym to ensure you get quality instruction that plug those holes in your game that we all have.His kickboxing instruction is phenomenal and focuses on getting your upper body to work in harmony with your lower body through drills, pad work, and sparring. Whether you are looking to enter into the cage or just want some great cardio the kickboxing program is guaranteed to get you ready.His ability to adapt instruction in both BJJ and kickboxing from a beginner adult such as myself to a beginner child like my 6 year old daughter who I took with me ensures an enjoyable time with family. I would not hesitate to bring them along again as the atmosphere is very family friendly and the instructor earnestly desires to improve the lives of children and adults through martial arts. Mad Science Judo and Jiu Jitsu will definitely be my home gym away from home whenever I’m back in Oakridge, TN. 5 stars all the way!!!

Master Ted is consumately knowledgeable, experienced in both the playing and coaching aspects of Judo, patient with his students, and kind. His Dojo and tutelage is a true resource for anyone looking to experience the joys of the sport and art of Judo!

This is an awesome place to train and an awesome instructor! Do yourself a favor and come train at Mad Science Judo and Jiu Jitsu.
