    Kids are loving the Dojo's summer camps, EXTRA programs, plus regular classes. Thanks for all your…read morestaff does to help all kinds of youth and young adults learn about their inner strengths, how to balance and integrate opposite impulses and commit to personal goals. Great job.

    Mister is not into competing against others.He is a gracious winner and loser.He prefers…read morechallenging himself.St. Matthews Martial Arts encourages and appreciates this attitude. It is not high energy,flashy,or corporate martial arts studio around town.It is not a "belt factory" as some studios are known. The staff is very low key,kind,and encouraging towards the student. They emphasize respect,self control,honor,discipline.The classes are broken into age groups.They also offer weapons classes and sparring classes after a certain degree of ability has been achieved. My friend has achieved a blue belt and has taken courses in using the sai and tonfa weapons.The instruction includes the history of the weapon and the defensive-not offensive-uses of the weapon.Currently,he is learning the fan weapon. If you take one weapons class,you desire to take the next out of curiosity of the use of the tool. They offer sparring classes after achieving blue-belt status.The classes offer a chance to improve timing,coordination,and movement with limited contact and opportunities to practice what you learn during the week in a short sparring match. After the basic classes for the younger set,ages 4-11,there is an obstacle course set up to improve quickness and agility and then a game of dodge ball to work on movement and quickness.The kids love it! St.Matthews Martial Arts doesn't require a contract.You can pay by the moth or three months.There is no charge for the sparring classes but you do have to buy any protective gear you don't own already.The weapons classes have an additional charge mainly to cover the expense of the weapon. If Mister wasn't already so far ahead of me belt wise,I'd consider joining.Buddha knows that I could use some discipline in my life.

    My family has been part of this Jiu-Jitsu community for the past 5 years, and the experience has…read morebeen nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, we've been challenged to grow, encouraged when things felt tough, and inspired to push past our limits. Over time, we've gained not only strength and endurance but also confidence, discipline, and respect for the sport. It's not an easy sport by any means--it demands focus and commitment--but the rewards are absolutely worth it. Mr. Aaron Burgin, the owner and instructor, is a huge part of why this gym is so special. He is incredibly kind, patient, and intentional with every student, whether you're brand new or have years of experience. His teaching style is admirable--he balances encouragement with accountability and makes sure every student is learning the right techniques while also having fun. He has a way of meeting students where they are while still pushing them to their full potential. The culture here is also worth mentioning. It truly feels like a family environment where everyone supports each other. My kids have gained not only skills on the mat but also life lessons about perseverance, humility, and respect. For adults, it's an excellent workout and stress reliever, and for kids, it's a safe, structured, and uplifting environment that builds both character and physical ability. If you are looking for a place to train, grow, and be part of a positive and welcoming community, I cannot recommend Mr. Burgin and this Jiu-Jitsu program enough. It has been such a blessing to our family, and I'm confident it will be for yours too!

    I had my first official class and it was a fun experience everyone there is nice Master Aaron is…read morevery kind and helps people at their own pace and the other people that is also learning they are also kind and help you out as well.And I can't wait to spend more time at the dojo and get to know the people there more I say that it will be the best experience to learn and grow at Oldham County Martial Arts Academy and you should check it out and I'm sure you will also enjoy your time there I know I did.
