Bendu Academy - MMA, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Wrestling

Bendu Academy in Cincinnati is a true MMA-and-grappling gym built around coaches with fight-corner experience. The academy highlights Blayne as a coach who has trained with and cornered UFC veterans and has worked professional fights for more than a decade. That background gives the school a practical combat-sports identity rather than a fitness-oriented MMA label. The current program is broad: gi and no-gi jiu jitsu, fundamentals, kids and women’s classes, wrestling, judo, MMA, Muay Thai, boxing and open mat are all represented. Students can move between takedowns, submissions and striking inside one gym, while beginners and families still have defined entry points. For martial artists around Cincinnati, Newport and Northern Kentucky, Bendu is most relevant when cross-training is a real goal. The academy’s coaching background around professional fighters makes the MMA side credible, while the depth of grappling programs keeps BJJ from feeling secondary.
