“I travel a lot for work and dropped in to Derby City. This is an amazing facility and the members and staff treated me like one of their own. I've followed Chewy's YouTube channel for years, and he ran an amazing class. He's a fantastic instructor who runs a really phenomenal gym filled with great people. Thanks for the hospitality and hope to be back next time i'm in Louisville!”

“Dropped in and had a great time. Everyone was friendly from the front desk to the mat. Chewy and my training partners were awesome. As an older grappler, they treated me with the utmost respect and were chill on the mat. I would definitely drop in again if I am back in KY. Thanks DCMMA!”

“I travel for work and try to hit a BJJ gym during my trip. Derby City MMA was by far one of the best I've attended. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful to me! They have some great merch for sale as well. If you're in the Louisville area, definitely check them out!”

“Amazing facility with what seems to be a great group of people. I have watched Chewyu2019s videos for years now and was hoping to get to meet him. Unfortunately, he wasnu2019t there at the time, but I did meet Mike who actually gave Chewy his nickname. He was super cool and gave me a full tour along with some history of the gym. I also got some cool swag. I was supposed to come back on Saturday but I wasnu2019t feeling the best ”

“I had a great time dropping into Derby City MMA while I was in town for the holidays. First class staff. The members were warm and welcoming. Chewy was as friendly and down to earth as you'd expect from his YouTube videos. Excited to get the chance to come back next time I'm in town.”

“Went in for a trial boxing class & at first I was awkward standing there bc I was early, but several gentleman/staff asked how they could help & showed me where to go! Eric taught the class & he was super positive, professional, & patient. Trish has also been amazing texting me and forgiving my ignorance to the whole process bc I have asked a lot of silly questions ud83dude06 very nice, clean facility. I was a ball of nerves ”

“I've been training at this gym for about 2 years now and I consider it a second home. I've made many friends and I've learned tons of Jiu Jitsu. There are dozens of black belts, all of whom will gladly share their knowledge with you. Many of them have different strengths and it makes the gym an endless resource for learning. Chewy is a fantastic teacher and top notch practitioner. It's always very rewarding to be tau”
