Apex Martial Arts Academy (ApexMAA)

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 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.

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!
