What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Davis Nguyen
"I am a beginner and middle aged. All coaches are very knowledgeable. Instructions are highly efficient. No egos and welcoming that fosters a great learning environment. Every visit is building on the last sessions and systematic. 6 weeks in and feel confident that this is the school for me."
D Bradshaw
"These guys are truly amazing. My son started in the 5-7 year old class. The patience, kindness, and leadership of the instructors is top notch. First class training. Coach Josh, Drake, Adrian are incredible at what they do. Not to mention the skill level and experience the coaches bring to the mat. It’s a blessing to the community to have this caliber of school in a small town. Couldn’t be more happy with the overall experience. 10/10 Highly recommend."
Joshua Patterson
"My daughter and I have been a part of Gracie Owensboro for a little more than four years now. I can’t begin to recommend the services they provide enough. Whether your goal be self defense, better physical fitness, self esteem boost, pursuit of discipline, or all of the above, your goals can be met all in one room. I can be a very particular about who I let my teach/train my kids in anything, so after a short period of time training by myself I knew this would also be the perfect place for my daughter, and I trust them with her as if they were my family. With all that said don’t hesitate because if you do eventually you will regret doing so."
Matt Ralph
"I can not say enough good things about Josh and his amazing instructors. My 8yr daughter currently trains at Gracie Owensboro. The first thing that you will notice is the environment that they have created. There is a positive vibe that lacks any judgement, bullying, anger or ugliness. These kids are surrounded by strong, confident women and men who are ideal role models. The life skills that they are teaching these kids enable them to handle the hard world that they face outside of Gracie's walls."
