Due to inclement weather classes at the Academy will be closed this evening (1/11). Have fun and be safe out there. Practice taking friends/family down in the snow, and work those grips. We will resume our regular schedule tomorrow.

Thanks,

The instructors at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu of Kentucky would like to congratulate students Mark Wilson, Matt Wilson and Lewis Christopher for successfully passing their blue belt test this afternoon. Each demonstrated solid technique and a good understanding of the fundamentals of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. We couldn't be more proud of their accomplishment.

Click here to read a great article from the Christian Science Monitor. It was written by a mother who watched her son get attacked by a couple of bullies on a playground. Fortunately, her son had taken several months' worth of Gracie Bullyproof -- the same program we teach at our Academy. He came out of the altercation unscathed and with a renewed sense of self-confidence.

The bottom-line is that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu works and it's especially effective for children who are victims of bullies. Please continue to spread the word about our program, and invite young ones you know to one of our Bullyproof classes. They're held on Thursdays at 6:15 p.m. and Saturdays at 11:15 a.m.

See you on the mat!
