Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Kansas City

“Such a great studio! The instructors are very knowledgeable and are great at knowing how to effectively teach to both kids and adults. Safety is a big focus, which I really appreciate! Everyone there, staff and students alike, is so welcoming and helpful. Being a beginner can be scary, but the instructors at Gracie JiuJitsu Kansas City will go out of their way to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in your ability. I personally have trained in the women empowered program, and I feel SO much more confident in my ability to defend myself. The jiujitsu I learned is practical and the curriculum is set up in a way that encourages repetition and muscle memory. I have Gracie JiuJitsu Kansas City, along with Mrs. Tiffany, Ms. Jen, and Ms. Lillian to thank for my amazing pink belt journey.”

“We have been attending for about 3 months now. From the first communication everyone was so friendly and helpful. Everyone makes you feel like family. All the instructors are amazing. They’re very patient with the kids and make them feel like the champions they are. Highly recommend!”

“My son Patrick and I have been attending Gracie Jiu Jitsu Kansas City since August 2022, and it has been an incredible experience from the start. The staff and instructors are truly top-notch, creating a welcoming and family-focused environment that feels like home. The kids’ curriculum is outstanding—teaching confidence, discipline, and valuable life lessons, with the most important being to avoid conflict whenever possible. For adults, the program is equally inviting. It’s not about creating warriors but equipping you with practical self-defense skills while fostering camaraderie and lifelong friendships. One of the best aspects is the no-pressure approach; you’re encouraged to learn and grow at your own pace. Joining this academy has been one of the best decisions our family has made, and we couldn’t recommend it more highly!”

“We searched everywhere in Kansas City for a safe enjoyable place for our daughter to learn BJJ. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (Kick) is by far the best place for learning BJJ in a safe environment. One place we tried she ended up getting hurt several times during the free trial. With kick our daughter has 3 stripes on her belt and 0 injuries. This is the way BJJ should be taught to children. The instructors for the school are so wonderful with children and take instruction very seriously! There’s not a day our daughter hasn’t enjoyed going to practice. So grateful to have found Gracie Jiu-Jitsu!”

“We joined this school after moving from Florida in 2023. My kids had been doing jiu jitsu for two years prior. This school was more kid friendly than the last one which. The professors are a great bunch of people. If you’re thinking of having your kids in jiu jitsu for knowing how to handle themselves, gain confidence, and have fun doing so this is a great place for it.”
