Para Bellum NKY

“NKYMAA and the Para Bellum BJJ program are more than just a gym and training group…it’s a family. Whether you are just starting your martial arts journey, a seasoned competitor, or just looking to make friends and get in shape….this is the place for you!!! Scott Smith runs a top notch facility with an incredible culture. I cannot recommend NKYMAA enough.”

“Dropped into an open mat while out of town for a wedding. Everyone was super welcoming. The gym, mats, and locker room was well kept and clean. 10/10 recommend if you’re in Cinci or NKY.”

“Dropped in for a morning class while I was in town. Coach Matt was very welcoming and ran a great class. Nice facility and great instruction. Will certainly plan on dropping in again when I’m in town next.”

“The NKY Martial Arts Academy has proven to be a fantastic journey for both my son and me. The environment is consistently uplifting, and the diverse programs complement each other, motivating us to strive for personal improvement both within and beyond the gym. My son finds as much joy in his experience as I do. Catering to adults, kids, and women-only programs, it truly is a family-friendly destination.”

“Excellent gym with a very welcoming group of folks. If you're in the area and are considering JJ for you or your kids I would definitely recommend it. The place has a ton of members, but it still feels tightly knit and receptive to new folks”
