818 Monmouth St, Newport, KY 41071, USA
A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai, and MMA gym in Northern Kentucky, just a few minutes from downtown Cincinnati. We focus on fundamentals, discipline, and camaraderie.
This place really is kick @$$! Probably the best gym I've been to. The instructors really bring a quiet confidence and professionalism and their example reverberates throughout the gym. Leadership helps to shape the personality of a gym, or any organization, and theirs is characterized by mutual respect, understanding, great communication, hard work and expert instruction. Really never a top down approach, they pretty much always come off as approachable and right at your side, and the students follow suit. 👍 🔥 🙏
Posted 9 months agoI have been training BJJ for over 3 years. I am on a mini week vacation and I did not want to miss a week of training if I could not help it. On a whim, I searched BJJ gyms in the areas I am staying and in the Newport, Kentucky area, Carlson Gracie NK immediately popped up. I emailed them and Andy responded within an hour. He was more than welcoming me to have me come in for a class during the two days I am here in Newport. The class was fantastic, people were nice and the instructor for the night class, Roman, was intuitive, knowledgeable and welcoming as well. I'd recommend trying this gym out.
Posted 8 months agoFor someone who’s never been in a gym but has always been around fighters and the sport itself. I wanted to be tested and pushed, while being fought correctly at the same time. Carlson Gracie NKY is definitely my recommendation for anyone new to the sport or experienced. Nothing but positive interactions with the trainers and staff as well as other members of the gym. 5/5 from me!

Posted 10 months agoMy six year old daughter has been going to this gym for almost seven months and she loves it. I wanted to sign her up for something where she could be active and that also has real world application. She has fun while learning structure, gaining confidence, a hard work ethic, etc. The list is endless that she will gain from these classes. She even wants to practice at home because she enjoys it so much and wants to get better. The instructors have been awesome from day one. She struggled for a while but they never gave up on her and continued to help her get better. They are very knowledgeable and work well with the kids. We intially chose this gym because it was close to where we lived but we have since moved and continue to make the trip to this location. I can't wait to see how she continues to grow here!
