Jon Dysert

Head Instructor & Academy Founder

I began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2008 in South Florida — what started as a passion for MMA quickly became a lifelong dedication to the art. I moved to Tennessee as a purple belt in 2015 and earned my black belt in 2018, currently holding the rank of 2nd degree black belt.

I've been coaching since 2012, starting with kids classes before opening Seymour BJJ in 2017 to build something the community didn't have: a gym that's serious about competition and welcoming to beginners and families.

I came into the gym as a total newbie and the coaches have been super helpful and patient. Also the students are eager to learn and help as well. SBJJA is fostering a great community where I've felt very welcomed, and I'm definitely benefiting from my time here.

My son has been going here for over 2 years and he absolutely loves it. The coaches are amazing with kids and create such a positive, supportive environment. We've seen a big boost in his confidence and skills. Highly recommend!
