Truth
Discovered.
Everyone can do jiu-jitsu. There are no requirements to get started — except getting started.
The original · Mt. Vernon, IL
Born in a laundromat.
Axiom's roots trace back to an old laundromat in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. There, Heath Pedigo turned cheap rent and relentless work into Pedigo Submission Fighting — the team that kept the building's name, Daisy Fresh, and produced world-class grapplers out of the middle of nowhere on nothing but hard rounds and brotherhood. As a PSF affiliate, Axiom carries that same lineage onto the mats here in Chillicothe.

One under the
flag of jiu-jitsu.
Different schools, different flags — one art. At Axiom we're brothers and sisters making each other better, one round at a time.
Professor
