"We visited Lucas Lepri with Coach P and Coach Ash while traveling. I was blown away at the level of instruction and fun atmosphere. The kids were welcomed by coaching staff and kids and not only had fun, but learned so much. Cannot recommend this BJJ school enough, we will definitely be back. Coach P, thank you for everything…amazing school!!"

"I was able to train a night while in Knoxville for work last fall and forgot to leave a review. Great gym, the no-gi class I went to was packed and instruction was top notch. Thanks to Professor Laban for allowing me to train and to the guys that I got to roll with!"
Taylor Prince
"Great family-friendly competition Jiu Jitsu gym with an even greater collection of members. I'd highly recommend this place for anyone interested in grappling, fitness, self-defense, socializing their young ones, and having fun. I don't know what I'd do without these folks. Drop in for the free month and you'll see what a great atmosphere they have 🙂"
