ABOUT US
THE ACADEMY
At Swampfox Jiu-Jitsu, we believe Jiu-Jitsu is about far more than learning how to grapple. It’s about discovering what you’re capable of, building confidence, developing discipline, and becoming better one day at a time.
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll find a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone has a place on the mats. Whether you’ve never trained before, you’re returning to martial arts, or you’re an experienced competitor, our goal is to meet you where you are and help you grow from there.
Over the years, we’ve watched Jiu-Jitsu ignite a lifelong passion in countless students. People come in looking for fitness, self-defense, competition, or simply something new—and end up finding a community and a pursuit that changes the way they approach challenges both on and off the mats.
Our coaches bring years of training, teaching, and competition experience, but we believe the most important part of coaching is helping each individual unlock their own Jiu-Jitsu. There is no one-size-fits-all path. We want you to develop skills that work for you, challenge yourself, and continually improve.
Swampfox is more than a place to train. It’s a place to belong, to grow, and to build something that lasts.
Come see what we're about. Your journey starts here.
WHO IS SPENCER SELMON?
Coach Spencer Selmon has been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over 12 years and has dedicated more than a decade to teaching the art to both adults and children.
Along the way, he has competed at the highest levels of the sport, earning medals at two IBJJF Pan American Championships and the IBJJF Master World Championships, while also winning multiple IBJJF Open Championships in both his weight class and the absolute division.
But competition is only one part of Spencer's journey in Jiu-Jitsu. With years of experience teaching Jiu-Jitsu, ministry, and art, he brings a unique approach to coaching that focuses on developing the whole person—not simply teaching techniques.
Spencer is passionate about helping every student unlock their own Jiu-Jitsu. He believes there is no single way to be a great grappler and that the best Jiu-Jitsu is the Jiu-Jitsu that fits the individual. Whether you're stepping onto the mats for the first time, looking to compete, or simply wanting to become stronger and more capable, his goal is to help you build confidence, solve problems, overcome challenges, and discover what you're capable of.
At Swampfox, Spencer strives to create an environment where hard work, humility, discipline, and community come together—and where everyone has the opportunity to become a better version of themselves, both on and off the mats.
