Highly recommend Bourbon Submission Academy. My children attend class on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and love it. The instructors are great with the kids and very knowledgeable!

Awesome place to train. I did a "pop in" class a few years ago when traveling in Kentucky and was very impressed with the instruction, the talent in the room, and facilities. Very welcoming and friendly group of people. I was so impressed that last year when I had another business to Kentucky, I especially rearranged my schedule so I could train there again. Great, great place.
