Came into town for holidays and found Insight. I was welcomed right into the class and learned some awesome Ezekiel... Choke combinations. Stayed for the open roll and Professor Valka took time to not only roll with me, but answer a lot of questions! If you are looking to start or just in town, this is the place to go!!read more

As a working and traveling parent with two kids actively involved in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we've visited and trained at... a variety of gyms across the country. With this perspective, I want to share why Insight BJJ stands out and why I highly recommend it to other parents/individuals. We recently moved to Somerset, KY, and in August, I enrolled my two children, ages 5 and 8, at Insight BJJ. The transition has been seamless, and the welcoming atmosphere here made all the difference. The coaches are not only skilled but genuinely kind-hearted, taking the time to demonstrate techniques, answer questions, and work with each child on their individual strengths and areas to improve. The emphasis on building solid relationships with both the kids and the parents is evident, and for that, I am truly grateful. This gym has not only made our relocation easier, but it has also given my kids and myself a sense of home. They've already formed friendships with the coaches, other kids, and their families, and we couldn't ask for a better gym.read more

Insight has an amazing training environment for both new and seasoned jiu jitsu athletes. Whether you are a hobbyist or... a competitor, you will receive top-notch instruction that will cater to your personal goals as an athlete. In addition, the wide variety of class times that Insight offers makes it easy to fit training into a busy schedule. This is not a gym where you are simply a “member”… you become part of a family. And that alone is worth its weight in gold. If you are looking for a safe, fun, skilled environment to learn more about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I would highly recommend Insight.read more

This gym’s atmosphere is unmatched! The professor is extremely welcoming to all students. Every student at insight is a... team member, and a vital one at that. From day one your questions and input matter in the success of the gym as a whole. At insight, I have found jiu jitsu is looked at as a community and not a rivalry. Ego is left at the door and everyone is joined in making the community better. I had tried Jiu Jitsu at another gym (one in which I have nothing but respect and appreciation for), however insight offered me the environment of freedom, encouragement and embrace of difficultly I was looking for. I live an hour away from this gym, yet I drive there twice a week just to be around such great people. Hopefully, you are the next member to have a positive impact on the community. #oneloveread more

My husband and I guest trained at Insight and joined their open mat when we happened to be in the area. The professor/... owner is was clearly dedicated to his craft, his gym, and his students . The gym is very clean, bright, and over all has a very welcoming feel. This is a great family gym. Big Bonus points for mens and womens changing rooms AND they have a shower. Overall, wonderful gym and if I’d live here, it would be the gym of my choice. Thanks for the 50/50 pointers, Professor Sheldon.read more

I love training here. Jujitsu is intimidating to get into but I have received tons of support and encouragement. They... also have let us use their facilities for our youth wrestling team. It has been an excellent partnership we were very glad to get the team out of a garage gym and into such a nice one.read more
