From the reviews
My six year old daughter has been going to this gym for almost seven months and she loves it. I wanted to sign her up for something where she could be active and that also has real world application. She has fun while learning structure, gaining confidence, a hard work ethic, etc.
Carlson Gracie NKY is everything you want in a BJJ/MMA gym. They have a huge facility with a boxing ring, full size cage, and most important a great group of training partners. I’ve been training BJJ for five years. I was I town for work and I felt right at home training here.
I received such a warm welcome from the owner Andy. I was in town for a few days for a quick vacation trip and needed a place to train. I had some awesome rolls with some great people. The gym is in a great location - right after open mat I went to the aquarium just down the road!
Came to the open mat here on Sunday when I was traveling from out of town. All the instructors and students were remarkably friendly and welcoming. Plenty of competitive and challenging rolls. The facility is clean and big. I only train jiu jitsu but they have Muay Thai and other programs.
Your first kickboxing class at Carlson Gracie NKY - Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, Judo, & Muay Thai
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
