We're going to soon film testimonials from many of our students and want to know more about why you and/or your child/family are training at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu of Kentucky. Please take some time to think about what motivated you to start taking Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. How has it changed/saved your life? What do you like most about our Academy?

Let us know if you're interested in providing a testimonial. We'd like to video several from a diverse array of students. If you'd rather write us your thoughts that would be great, too.

See you all on the mat!
