Total Defense Martial Arts

“Even though I showed up super late, Brian and his team were exceptionally welcoming. Clean facilities. Plenty of space. Nice people. I highly recommend Total Defense for all your Jiu-Jitsu needs... and more!”

“This is a great gym! Everyone is super welcoming, from the instructors on down to the lowest white belts. They teach good clean technique and everyone I've rolled with there was respectful and safe to roll with (no unnecessary roughness or uncontrolled movements). I started training there as a white belt when the gym was under different management. I'm a purple belt now living too far away to make it back very often, but I always enjoy any chance I get to go back and train there. The head instructor, Brian Rose, has solid skills and you will get good if you are consistent in attending classes! And if you're considering visiting, Brian probably won't even charge a mat fee.”

“It's great every time I go! The people are very inviting, the instructors are knowledgeable and as a female, I feel extremely comfortable rolling with anyone there. I've also heard great things about the kids classes.”

“Stopped in about a month ago. The coach, Brian, was very nice and welcoming. We enjoyed training with him and his students. We’ll definitely stop in again when we come back for another visit.”

“The fact that people are willing to drive from Lexington just to go to class here I think says something about the quality of the gym. Brian is a great coach and the quality of his instruction is up there with the best of them (also just an all around good guy). The atmosphere of the gym is always welcoming and friendly. Whether you're a drop in or are new to martial arts, TD is a fantastic place to train.”
