This dynamo exudes confidence, for good reason. Skillful, playful, world-wise. Downright loves jiu-jitsu. 21+ years on the mats. Woooooooo!

Fantastic coaches, very motivated students, professional and clean facility with plenty of space throughout. Great, consistent turn out in classes and open mats of all different belts and skill levels- this is an outstanding school.

Thoroughly impressed!!! If you’re looking for a clean, professional, non-judgmental environment to learn and grow your jiu-jitsu fitness goals, this is your place. My husband has always spoke so highly of the owners and their extensive knowledge. Recently, our teenage daughter started taking jiu-jitsu lessons so I popped by to see her progress. Wow!! Not only has she learned so much, but she has gained even more confidence as a young female!! While I’m sure this is the go-to place for many seasoned athletes, don’t be intimated if you’re just starting out!
5 out of 5!!!!

State of the art facility. Talented and diverse coaching staff. Talented and diverse student body. I’ve been in combat sports for thirty years and this school and it’s all inclusive approach is one of the best I’ve been a part of. You’ll get your fill if it’s your first day or your 10,950th.

The best grappling and instruction in the area. Head coach Michael Seals combines professionalism with decades of martial arts experience to provide an optimal environment for all levels of grappling from seasoned black belts to those just looking to gain entry to the sport of jiu jitsu. Combined with a brand new facility makes for an awesome training experience. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.

I tried a class here 8 months ago as a total beginner and have been hooked ever since. It is an incredibly welcoming environment with very clean facilities. The community that Professor Michael Seals and Polly Seals have created is special and Lexington is lucky to have a place like this.

Came to Lexington on a business trip and did a drop in. The facility was extremely clean and the people were very welcoming.
Having trained BJJ in numerous cities because of work, I would rate Lexington Jiu Jitsu as one of the better places I’ve visited. Highly recommended if you live in the area or are visiting.
