Welcome To Empty Hands Jiu Jitsu Academy

Trigg County's Jiu Jitsu Headquarters

Empty Hands Jiu-Jitsu is a private training academy where Jiu-Jitsu meets modern Combat Sports Conditioning. Our structured programs focus on self-defense, personal growth, and physical performance, delivered through a proven curriculum and small group training. We use Jiu-Jitsu not only as a path to technical mastery, but also as a vehicle for developing total-body fitness, strength, and mobility. Performance benchmarks guide each student’s progress, allowing us to personalize growth within a group environment. Through pressure-tested training and focused coaching, students build real confidence, functional competence, and lasting transformation—in both body and mindset
