Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Lexington: Carter’s Academy

“You can expect detailed instruction with a goal of building lifelong skills from Sensei Carter. You really do feel as though you are a part of a family within these walls. Both my daughter and I attended and we look forward to every class!”

“I am a head instructor at GU in Torrance and was invited to teach a Seminar at John's school. I was welcomed with open arms and the facility was clean and professional. Staff, instructors and students are super friendly. I had a great time. GJJ Lexington has my full endorsement! Keep up the good work!”

“I was on a business trip in the area for a week and attended several Gracie Combatives classes. The facility was wonderful and very clean. John (owner/instructor) was welcoming, professional and made me, a short time visitor, wish I was staying in the area longer. He really fostered a great environment which was mirrored by several students I had pleasure of meeting and practicing with during my stay. I highly recommend this spot!”

“We’ve been here for 2 years now & love it!! John is fantastic & patient with the kids, and the bully-proof program is such a great experience for kids. They enjoy earning stripes and patches for demonstrating responsibility, health, citizenship, respect, and manners .”

“I'm a former resident of Columbia that moved to Florida some years back. I started training BJJ there and when I recently visited Columbia to see family, I wanted to get in some training on Saturday morning. I contacted Sensei Carter about a drop-in and he was very welcoming. The academy is very nice and well-maintained. Everyone was so friendly and I picked up some great tips for my guillotine. It was such a great experience, I would certainly train more at this academy if I was in the area!”
