From the reviews
Got to meet Scott and the rest of his crew while living in Kentucky. Hands down one of the best programs in the state. Rather you are a beginner or years into your journey with Jiu Jitsu this is the place to train.
Very welcoming atmosphere and personnel! From the first time I walked in, they welcomed me, gave me plenty of info, and let me try it out to see if I liked it. Scott is an amazing instructor, in fact all of the instructors are great. Their kids classes are amazing too! Highly recommend everyone to try it out!

Excellent school for gi Jiu Jitsu that is both high quality and affordable. The children's program is top notch. My kids have found a hobby that they love and made friends they look forward to seeing every week.
New to BJJ? Start at Scott Audas Jiu Jitsu
Scott Audas Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Scott Audas Jiu Jitsu
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
