Warrior Academy: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing
Madisonville, KY
Gi and No-Gi create the defining two-format grappling focus for Warrior Academy: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing in Madisonville, Kentucky, USA. Gi identifies the traditional jacket-based format, while No-Gi identifies grappling without that jacket, making the contrast between the two labels immediately clear. A beginner can use those categories to understand that the record spans both broad Brazilian jiu-jitsu formats, and a competitor can recognize the same paired designations when comparing martial-arts records. The supplied $$ price-range symbol gives the record its listed relative price category and does not state a dollar amount. Madisonville is the exact Kentucky location supplied for this USA record. Its specific identity rests on the Gi and No-Gi labels, the Madisonville setting, and the $$ price-range symbol.

Lee Kickboxing Academy
Beattyville, KY
Muay Thai and Striking are the defining focus of Lee Kickboxing Academy in Beattyville, Kentucky, USA. Together, those labels place the record around a striking-oriented martial-arts context: Muay Thai is a distinct discipline, while Striking gives the focus a broader stand-up frame. For a beginner, that combination clearly signals an emphasis on understanding a named striking discipline alongside the wider striking category; for a competitor, it identifies the same paired areas of focus without implying any particular format or outcome. Lee Kickboxing Academy is listed in the $$ price-range category, a supplied relative designation that sits alongside its Beattyville location and its Muay Thai and Striking focus. The concise mix makes the record especially clear for anyone comparing martial-arts listings by discipline, city, and relative price-range symbol.
