Team Accolades
IBJJF 3X team champions
Kentucky’s only IBJJF team champion — a milestone International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation competition team history that Reaction MMA has accomplished three times. The first title came at the Charlotte International Open in North Carolina, followed by back-to-back team championships at the Charleston International Open in South Carolina.
Reaction MMA also earned six second-place team finishes and three third-place team finishes in IBJJF competition. Altogether, the team has achieved 12 IBJJF team award podium finishes — another first and only accomplishment for a Kentucky-based academy.
Reaction MMA also made history in 2026 by earning two youth IBJJF team awards, becoming the first Kentucky team to achieve that distinction as well. Combined with producing the state’s highest number of individual IBJJF Grand Slam medalists, Reaction MMA continues to set the standard for competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Kentucky.
