Best gym I’ve ever been to. They push you to do your best which causes you to learn quicker and better. If you are looking for a good gym to learn different styles of fighting this is the one.

The atmosphere is friendly; the teachers know how to teach and are patient with you, and make learning easy. I would recommend this place to anybody, of any age. I love it

I LOVE this gym. I started here when I was just 13 and I have gained so much confidence and knowledge in the years since. The environment is a great balance between challenging and supportive, and the Core community as a whole is incredibly special.

The instructors are great. They make it fun, but informative. Its a very friendly environment. People of all ages can participate.

Absolutely love training here. Family friendly and high level instructors that know their stuff!

Love CORE. Great place to train. Helio and Rolando are amazing teachers

Extremely knowledgeable, talented, and helpful staff and instructors. 11/10 would recommend to anyone.

Amazing gym. Seriously one big family! I couldnt imagine training anywhere else

Great place to take your skills to the next level. The BJJ instructor (Helio Soneca) is a legend in to world of BJJ and every class I’ve taken is legit. If you are serious about training and wanting to develop skills who can actually use this is your place!

Words do not describe the importance of sharing your time with people who all commonly push each other to grow skillfully and athletically. Core teaches practical skills for confidence and safety, technical skills for competition, and offers an environment that is conducive to turning this art into both a habit and a passion. The staff and the owners become your second family and care about your progression. I highly recommend this facility to any person looking to advance their skills and athletic performance. Core does not disappoint!!

Very epic place to learn BJJ! The lady at the front desk is so nice! And I must say, Nathan Hadadd is quite handsome. Great place to learn martial arts! :) Very cool !

An absolutely fantastic gym experience. The best in the area whether you are interested in physical fitness, competition, or self-defense. Ive been training there many years and I love my time there. Can not recommend enough.

Just great people and thats hard to come by these days...

Has something for everyone!BEST jiujitsu in Kentucky. Very friendly and diverse group to train with. Whether you are trying to get in shape, learn how to defend yourself, or wanting to compete, Core Combat Sports is for you!

I am 40, fat and out of shape. I joined this gym because I had always wanted to learn how to box. From the very first class I could tell that this gym was the real deal and that Coach Abdul was going to push me harder than I had trained in years. When I walked into my first class, he didnt write me off as some fat old guy. He gave me the same attention that he was giving the athletes he was training for competition. That meant that he also expected me to push myself as hard as the other guys. Over the last several months I have learned more about myself and pushing my limits than I did in 10 years of military service. Coach Abdul cares for his students, but he will not accept anything less than 100% from you at each class. If you are looking for a challenge and a great environment I couldnt recommend this gym enough!

Great people!

Can’t say enough great things about this place. Family loves it, just wished we would have joined sooner.

Great gym.Best experienced instructors like Brent Weedman from bellator mma and Helio Soneca. I’m glad I was able to earn my blue belt from this gym .

I have had the opportunity to visit and train here while TDY at Ft. Knox. I have been practicing Krav Maga for over 12 years and have experienced many different levels of teaching styles and personalities. This facility is top notch and the instructors are clearly knowledgeable about the material and can teach it in a way that will push you to you limits while focusing on proper technique- something not every school focuses on. This training facility is legit and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to begin training in Krav Maga. I cannot speak to the other programs offered but given the opportunity I wouldnt hesitate to join in those either. Thanks for letting me visit and train!

Training Jiu Jitsu with guys who are the real deal. Guys who compete and who have done so for years. My kids also train and are getting a great experience.

Women are ridiculed in class when trying to learn, by both instructors and students. Needless to say, I would not recommend.

Very nice facility with great people working there

I love my gym so much. Ive been training here since 2011 doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under 6th degree black belt and world champion Helio Soneca and Muay Thai and also BJJ under Bellator finalist Brent Weedman (who is also a BJJ black belt, Byakuren Kaikan (legit full contact) Karate and Judo Black Belt.)Ive done some Boxing under Abdul Jarvis, a world champion who is local legend in Boxing circles.Rolando Haddad, the gym founder and owner, leads the Krav Maga program which is by FAR the finest in the region.The CoreFit kettlebells program under Eric Hammer is phenomenal too. When I have time, I do that too and my cardio and strength goes through the roof.Ive also done some Judo under John Wortley who I believe won Silver or Gold at nationals.The facilities are huge, well equipped and well maintained.Basically Core has the most well rounded, and top notch talent in the area. I dont work for Core, or anything like that...I just have had nothing but success here. Amazingly the price is also better than most other gyms in the area.I cant recommend Core enough.

Been training Jiu Jitsu and Core-fit (Cross fit training) at CCS for 5 years and love it! Great atmosphere and EXCELLENT instruction. The Jiu Jitsu program is enthusiastically driven by Helio Soneca Moreira, a world champion and devoted instructor.The Jiu jitsu instruction is shared with Brent Weedman, an instructor with an extensive professional MMA fighting background and Soneca black belt. Soneca oversees the entire program and really hones in on detail and pin-pointing technique correctness and Brent is just as involved, often bringing a fresh perspective on proven Soneca techniques while chaining techniques together and focusing on drilling specific positions.Core is also a gym that promotes both tournement and combatitive style jiu jitsu. Bottom line- If youre looking to work hard, learn technical jiu jitsu, and have fun doing it, this would be the place to check out.

Best BJJ in the city and region. Look up Helio Soneca Moreira. He is the lead instructor with over 40 years of BJJ experience. He is a 6th degree black belt under Jean Jacques Machado. The classes are filled with quality people who will make you feel welcome anytime you go. This is a very good gym to go to, especially if you want to learn from a BJJ legend.

Wonderful place to learn!

Coach just embarasses u if u do something wrong.

Great instructors, great motivation, great results
