I love my gym so much. I’ve been training here for since 2011 doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under 6^th 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.)
I’ve 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.
I’ve 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 don’t 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 honestly can’t recommend Core enough.

This place has the nicest facility in Louisville, KY. With mulitple world champion instructors. Including 2x World Champion Helio Soneca. If you are in Louisville and looking for a place to train, this is the place to be! They offer Krav Maga, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Judo a unique style of cross fit, Kettle Bells and they have experience personal trainers. The prices are pretty cheap for what your getting as well.

this place is first class. all fancy and nice. looks like a bally’s but for the combatives. they teach all the usual stuff associated to an mma gym, along with krav maga. i came here specificially to train with helio sonneca who is a pioneer of bjj. and he ran a tight bjj class, he was a perfectionist and ran us through a pretty good warm up.
we worked on a lot of takedowns to taking the back and finishing.
if you are in kentucky, you need to stop by and take a class with helio while he is still in kentucky.
