Facility:
The mat area at the club is the best in the knoxville area. Large mat area covered with Modern Judo tatamis, some from the 1996 olympics. These tatamis are on a gymnastic foamboard floor, which gives like a springboard floor, but does not bounce back. It is really an awesome mat. There is a changing room, water fountain, bathrooms, heat and air conditioning. The outside of the building is a little run down, but the mats and other inside facilities are kept clean and safe.
