Local doctor opens Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu studio in Selma Mall to provide outlet to have some fun

Ronnie Tisdale with the Selma Soul Team.

As Ronnie Tisdale sees it, he’s keeping people healthy at all three of his jobs.

Tisdale works with the UAB Hospitalist program at Vaughan Regional Medical Center, and he works shifts in emergency departments in rural hospitals.

And you’ll also find him at his new Selma Soul Team Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu studio at Selma Mall.

While some may think that teaching a form of martial arts doesn’t fit with his professional life as a physician, Tisdale sees Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a way to “provide for safe, clean, healthy outlet to have some fun.”
