From the reviews
Chris, Amanda, and the rest of the crew at FF were extremely welcoming when I first started. I had always wanted to get into BJJ and I’m glad I started here. I’ve since fallen in love with it as well as the atmosphere and easy going crew that participate in other classes taught at the gym.
I recently signed up with GSA. This place is phenomenal! I’ve tried some other schools in the Louisville area and they have a lot to offer as well. However, this place felt like home, day 1.
Top notch gym located conveniently in St Matthews. Griffin Submission Academy does it all! Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing and all things MMA. I am a 41 year man who just wants to get in shape. Private lessons are great with my crazy schedule. Very easy to work with. A+++
I moved here from Atlanta in 2015 as a BJJ blue belt. I met Chris through a mutual friend and decided to try his place out. Having left my gym family of nearly 3 years to embark on the next chapter of my life, I was pretty apprehensive about fitting in with another school.
New to kickboxing? Start at Fight Factory
Fight Factory comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Fight Factory
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.
