About us

Seven years ago our family walked into a jiu jitsu gym for the first time. Our son was the first to train and since then we have all taken our turn out on the mats. The benefits our family has experienced from training together have been significant and we want you to experience the same.

We received our training under Professor Augusto Tanquinho Mendes a co-founder of Soul Fighters Association and owner/operator of Soul Fighters HQ. Professor Tanquinho is a 6x World Champion, ADCC Champion, and UFC Veteran.

With the support of our Soul Fighters family it is our privilege to bring Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Benton, KY. Whether you are a seasoned competitor or brand new, there is a place for you on the mats with us!

A group of seven people, including children and adults, posing with a banner that reads 'Grapple & Grace Jiu Jitsu Academy.' Five people are standing behind the banner, and two children in colorful gis are sitting on the floor in front. They are all smiling and wearing martial arts gi uniforms, standing against a plain beige wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • BJJ is a grappling martial art, combat sport, and self-defense system focused on ground fighting. Rather than striking or relying on strength BJJ uses leverage, technique, and positioning to control and submit with joint locks and choke holds. BJJ has proven to be a successful system even if facing a larger stronger opponent.
