Apex BJJ in Mt. Washington isn’t just a gym it’s a place where people come to heal, grow, and belong. What’s happening inside these walls is bigger than jiu jitsu. Yes, the training is solid. Yes, the technique is real. But what sets Apex apart is the heart behind it all. It’s a space where people are seen, encouraged, and pushed toward something greater not just in fitness or self-defense, but in life. At the core of it is Isaac. a leader with rare integrity and deep compassion. He’s built something that doesn’t just teach people how to fight but how to stand tall in the middle of life’s battles. Apex is where discipline meets grace, where community lifts you up, and where peace is found through movement, challenge, and connection. If you’re searching for a place to grow stronger not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually this is that place. Apex changes people for the better. And the world needs more of that.

We have been members of Apex for about 6 and a half years and have loved it. We were so excited when they opened a location closer to us! The coaches and staff are wonderful and do a great job of teaching BJJ. The building is also very nice and kept clean!

We came for a crosstraining session and were impressed with the professionalism and expertise of the coach. The training is well-structured and motivating for both kids and adults. We also appreciated the warm, family-friendly welcome. Top place to train highly recommended — we will definitely be coming back !!!

I had the best experience at their women's self-defense workshop. The instructors were patient and encouraging with everyone and took the time to make sure we understood each movement. The atmosphere and relationships they have with their members made their academy feel very welcoming. I'm looking forward to attending the weekly classes.
My daughter has been training in BJJ at Apex for several months. She is learning to protect herself and building relationships with a great group of people. Her coaches are professional, knowledgeable, and ensure her safety at all times. I highly recommend this program!
This facility is simply fantastic! The top-notch environment caters to both kids and adults. The coaches are fantastic, creating a positive learning atmosphere. Classes are well-designed, making it an ideal place for learning Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and Muay Tai. Highly recommended!
Apex has been a fantastic experience for my kiddos. The instructors are very knowledgeable and extremely patient. Everyone is very inviting and supportive.
My kiddo started back in May. He was bullied at school and not very confident. Thus started our journey at Apex. Since then his confidence has grown tremendously, he is learning to stick up for himself and is making great friends. The coaches are fantastic, truly a family atmosphere. All are welcomed.
I was traveling and they welcomed me to drop in anytime. Learned a couple new moves. Great rolls, gym and people. Hoping my 3 year old cousin joins APEX. Thanks so much! 🙏
James and Pinky are great. You can tell they're warm and inviting, plus the instruction is top notch. The coach really watches you and helps you develop your technique.
Great vibes at this gym. I’m visiting Louisville for a couple weeks and wanted to drop in at a gym or two. I messaged Apex MAA on their website and they responded within an hour. Upon arrival, I was impressed with their mat space for their Muay Thai classes and Jiu Jitsu classes. There’s a waiting area with chairs, restroom, changing room, and lockers. The instruction was great and the guys/girls in the gym were tough and had good vibes. You’ll get good high level rolls, but still friendly vibes during and after. I would recommend this gym to any of my friends visiting the area.
Great place for the entire family. Instructors are dedicated to making sure no student is left behind. The vibe make you feel like family. Instructors or very competent.
I have attended Apex since 2018 and I have been very happy with the experience and the team of people who teach/attenend. I have grown to know and care about many of the people, and I have gained much of my skill and knowledge here. Would recomend if you are trying to find a gym to grapple, strike, or even get in a little better shape.
I can’t say enough good things about Apex and the wonderful people who own and train there! The family environment is one of my favorite things about Apex. I searched for a long while to find a gym to join for classes for my kids. I wanted a place that was legit. If I was going to have my kiddos take MMA classes I wanted a place where the instructors knew what they were doing. Most places, especially for my young kids, had classes “taught” by other kids or teens. When learning a sport like MMA, you have to have people who know what they are doing in order to teach correct technique in order to avoid bad habits and especially injury... and I found that in Apex. Love them up there! Again, I can’t say enough good thing about them. If you are looking for a gym who knows what they are doing, great with kids, very fair on cost and love what they do.... look no further... you found it.
Apex is such a great place to learn martial arts! I have a child in the youngest kids class and one in the older kids class. They both love it and have learned so much!
I started here with their first annual Women's Seminar in self-defense and LOVED the environment! Being comfortable in a gym is very important to me. Pinky is sure to make the ladies feel most comfortable with a women's only kickboxing class. No judgment or worry about how we look! Just training and concentrating on technique! Every woman needs a tribe of other women cheering her on! If you don't have that already, come join us!
Love this gym and the instructors. Love that my son is learning 2 different kinds of martial arts. Great family atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
Amazing instructors and warm, family-oriented environment. My four-year-old loves it here. I wouldn't dream of taking her anywhere else.
Amazing instructors, great people, good energy, treat you like family
The best! Good with the kids and all out positive atmosphere!
A great gym with wonderful and knowledgeable trainers.
The instructor is amazing with little ones! They even got me willingly joining in, and I would've never thought about doing any type of martial art. Its not just "martial arts" it's self defense! I'd definitely recommend this gym to anyone interested in self defense! Everyone is very respectful and makes you feel welcome. A very family oriented atmosphere and definitely a "no judgement" zone.
Awesome instructor who is dedicated to the betterment of the kids on and off the mats
Great training environment and full of coaches that not only care about your training but overall well being as well
Love the energy that these coaches show! You can see and feel the passion they have for teaching and molding young minds. I highly recommend Apex to members of all ages.
We are very grateful for the instructors and staff at Apex. This program has transformed our child in attitude and confidence. The combination of training, support and love not only from the staff but all members makes this experience a once in a lifetime opportunity. We highly recommend this program to anyone, child or adult.
Fantastic martial arts studio. Love the "family" atmosphere, perfect combination of martial arts education, respect and acceptance. A true asset to the county of Bullitt and the Southern Jefferson County area.
