What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Allie Sutula

"We absolutely love this gym! It is family owned and run and the coaches truly care about the kids and families that practice at the gym. They offer multiple kids classes, women's classes, adult, and fundamentals classes. I never worked out or practiced BJJ in my life and I am 35 years old with five kids and I recently joined after watching two of my boys practice for over a year and it has been so good for me!"

Katy Michelle

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our family has had an amazing experience at AKB (American Killer B) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – Bluegrass Jiu-Jitsu in Williamstown, KY. My son spent one full year training here, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to introduce him to Jiu-Jitsu. Twice a week, he trained in a structured, high-energy, and welcoming environment, learning discipline, confidence, and technique—all while having a blast! (Not to mention mom spent her week kicking it at their ladies kickboxing program!) Coach Marcus, Coach Cynthia, and Coach Kolt are incredible mentors. Their passion for teaching shines through, and they create a space where kids not only develop skills but also grow in character. Every class is thoughtfully structured with safety in mind, age-appropriate drills, and the perfect balance of discipline and fun. The atmosphere at AKB is supportive and family-oriented, with plenty of friendly faces and a strong sense of community. George has gained friends, strength, and a deep respect for the sport—all thanks to the dedication of these amazing coaches. Though we are currently exploring other sports, we will absolutely be back! This gym is a true gem in Grant County, Kentucky, and we are so grateful for the time we’ve spent here. If you’re looking for a top-notch Jiu-Jitsu gym with outstanding coaches, AKB is the place to be! Thank you, AKB! We can’t wait to return!"

Matthew McDaniel

"My breakdown of this academy; The academy is very family friendly. The price is more than reasonable for all that they offer. The coaches are professional in how they carry themselves. The coaches also come from a respected pedigree. Kids classes are fun but informative for the kids. ( my 3 kids love the classes.) The adult classes are focused and detailed, so the techniques stick with you. They also have a women’s cardio kickboxing class for women who enjoy a safe and positive place for self improvement. Also coach Cynthia teaches some useful strikes for self defense in this women's class. The students in all these classes are friendly and welcoming. So you never feel like an “other” as a new student."

Trevor Faulkner

"Went for my free BJJ class on 10/29/24. Had never practiced BJJ before and my instructors made it so fun. Was a nice environment where I wasn’t judged for not being as good and really came out of the class knowing things i didn’t before then. 10/10"
