Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Louisville

"I only attended a couple of classes on the free trial a couple months back. I knew I wouldn't be able to continue going when I did it, but while I had the open availability, I wanted try it, and see if it I would in fact want to continue. I am.a person that is highly out of shape, and overweight, yet nothing was strenuous, and a person couldn't hope for a better culture. Immediately the Instructor ( Alan ) along with his trainers that I had the privilege to meet, even the other students were very welcoming. There was no shaming of any kind to anyone, and only encouragement to everyone. I am getting close to be able to officially start my journey, and can't wait. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone considering ANY type of martial arts, or even just a good exercise regimen."

"I am a purple belt and I was lucky enough to attend a GST Lvl 1 Instructor course at this location under the instruction of Professor Manganello. The professor is down to earth and very experienced. Professor Manganello made the course material a breeze to understand and teach. The professor has an extensive knowledge of BJJ and self defense techniques. The coach cadre that assisted made up of gym members were polite and very helpful. It’s clear to me that this gym has an excellent training environment. The gym is clean it has great locker room space and a lot of parking. If you live in the Louisville area and are considering training Jiu Jitsu you should definitely try a class at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Louisville."

"I love that my family is receiving training at the only certified Gracie school in Kentucky. Allan and Leeann and the instructors are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and work to ensure every person who walks through the door is made to feel welcome. There is no pressure because everyone begins at their own level or at a different stage in life. I love our Gracie family!"

"I drove from the Cincinnati area to attend a five day course for law enforcement. After completing the course, I told my wife I was seriously considering moving to Louisville. It was one of the best weeks of training I’ve had in my police career, which started in 1998. I would love to get my wife and three kids in a program at Gracie Louisville. Being 43, I’ve always worried about being injured during training, and having to miss work. The Gracie program is outstanding, and safety was priority one! There’s no need to be intimidated or afraid to try! The atmosphere and trainers are very accommodating! I may end up in Louisville before too long, I can’t find anything close to home like Gracie Louisville!"
