This gym has every kind of training you need in one facility; there's often multiple classes going…read moreon with people learning BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing, etc., so it's awesome to look around and see all the instruction this place has to offer. The coaches are all knowledgable with years of solid experience (most have been in professional fights and competitions themselves), and can work with you whether your goals are to fight or just to get into combat sports as a hobby. Fellow students are also just as motivated to learn and work, which gives an awesome atmosphere. I haven't been able to find another gym as quality as this one, and felt lucky to be able to train BJJ and Muay Thai while I was here.

How can I start? I'll start off by saying that if you're looking for a place that will test…read moreyourself and limits in life, look no further. I advise this location is not one for those of weak minds, and if you are one, be prepared to change into a strong minded person. I came into this facility looking for a trainer to help me reach my goals, not only did I find one (a great one too), but I found a family. At the 4, there's no joke in their name, we are united and support each other for the love of combat sports. Whether you're looking to become a world champion or simply get back into shape with someone helping you get there, this is the place. Or if you're looking to keep developing your skills or to start, trust me, you will find someone to get you there. One of the best facility to become a better person and athlete at the same time in the state of Kentucky.

Everyone is very welcoming and are all there to get better and encourage others to get better as well. The coaches there really implement a certain level of attitude as well as discipline for the gym and that's what separates this gym from all the other ones. If there were more stars I could give I would. If you trained before or just want to give it a try there's no other gym I'd say to check out but this one.

I recently visited Lexington Jiu-Jitsu & Fitness for a seminar they hosted featuring Emily Kwok…read more This facility is very clean and bright and the owners were very welcoming. The bathrooms are much fancier than most gyms I've seen although the men's is much larger than the women's which leads me to believe that their regular student population is more male heavy than the crowd at the seminar was which drew a lot of women. Not a negative just something to be aware of. They have a very nice large training floor and plenty of benches and hooks to leave personal belongings. Over all I enjoyed the seminar quite a lot and if I'm in the area again I would definitely consider stopping in for a regular class.

I should have looked at the BBB and other review pages before joining. Their business practices are…read morequestionable, and they retaliate personally if you question them. We had joining charges that we were told we would not have. They wouldn't give a copy of your contract. They will let you take a picture if you ask when signing, though. They automatically, without notice, charge you for belt testing fees, etc, before testing because "we are sure your child will pass, everyone does." Basically, random fees hit your account without notice. Not even 3 months into joining, we were required to do a new one. Once again, there is no copy. You have two choices, continue without being able to advance or sign up for a 3 year commitment at an outrageous price plus joining fees (after already paying joining fees) plus the gear bag. We are not novices at these programs. We have been involved for 30 years, different styles, and depending on our families' needs and schedules. We KNOW there are fees. We know there are pricey contracts. This is not comparable to any other program in this area pricewise. The one trainer retaliated by using the business to attack me on a personal level at home and work. The business admitted it was her, and they said they would talk to her but stood behind her. I could not continue to put my son in that environment, so I ended up paying for a couple of months of an unusable contract. I would not be surprised if they attempt to send my canceled 2nd contract to bill collection. Please make sure to get copies of EVERYTHING in writing. Ask up front about the costs and prices. Get it in writing! Be suspicious when they will not give it to you. Don't fall for the excuses.
