Lexington BJJ & Fitness

Lexington BJJ & Fitness is guided by head coach Michael Seals, whose decades of martial arts experience shape the academy’s approach. Affiliated with Team Shawn Hammonds from Nashville, the gym embraces both traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques and evolving training methods. Located on National Avenue, the facility supports a broad spectrum of practitioners, from beginners to seasoned black belts, emphasizing practical skill development through live sparring and technical drilling. Classes alternate between gi and no-gi training, with no-gi offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and gi sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. This schedule reflects the academy’s understanding of the distinct benefits each style provides—gi training focuses on grips and control, while no-gi promotes speed and athleticism. Students are encouraged to progress through a structured membership system that aligns with their commitment and skill growth. Open mat sessions are available for adults to refine techniques and spar freely beyond scheduled classes. The gym maintains a clean, professional environment with an emphasis on safety and mutual respect. While the academy currently does not run a dedicated kids program, it offers a range of classes that support adults at various levels. The culture encourages cooperation with other local schools to elevate overall jiu-jitsu skill in the region. Visitors and drop-ins are welcome to experience the training firsthand and engage with the academy’s evolving curriculum.
