Adult Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Louisville

Start with curiosity. Build skills one class at a time. At Old Louisville Jiu Jitsu Academy, adults can learn Brazilian jiu-jitsu with supportive coaches and training partners, whether it is their first class or their return to the mat.

Technique you can keep building on

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a grappling martial art built around position, control, escapes, and submissions. Our focus is on understanding the details and developing skills through consistent practice. You can train for fitness, self-defense, the challenge of learning, or competition—you do not have to compete to belong.

Gi and no-gi training

Our schedule includes gi classes, no-gi training, drilling, and open mat. Gi training uses the traditional jiu-jitsu uniform; no-gi training develops grappling without those uniform grips. Check the current schedule and contact us to choose a good first class.

New to jiu-jitsu?

No previous martial arts experience is needed. Tell us a little about your goals before your first visit, and we will help you get started. Ask what to wear and bring so you can arrive ready to learn.
