Kalamazoo BJJ

“Kalamazoo BJJ is an incredible place to train. Professor Ben Lindhout's ability to breakdown techniques is helpful and accessible. He cares about his students and his love for BJJ also comes across in his classes. This place was welcoming from my first class onward. I appreciate all of my rolling partners. They train hard and are careful about safety. I recommend training here!”

“Ben is very knowledgeable and everyone at the gym was welcoming. They make you feel like part of the team the minute you walk in. There was a good mix of talent and experience. Highly recommend checking it out if you are in Kalamazoo area.”

“I went to my first open mat last week and it was amazing! There's always some sort of nervousness that comes from being a beginner at anything but everyone here made me feel comfortable and eased that anxiety. I got destroyed in the few rolls I took part in, but I left feeling amazing and ready for the next one. I've wanted to start BJJ for a long time now and I can't recommend this place enough. If you're interested at all, give it a try! We'll learn together and have tons of fun doing it.”

“Have been training here for 1 year now and love it, had no prior experience and I felt really welcomed immediately. You are allowed to roll (spar) from the very beginning if you want which I think speeds up your learning process. Ben, Ivan, and Jake are great teachers”

“I’m a newbie to the area, and was unenthused with finding another place to train BUT…my apprehension was put to rest with Kalamazoo BJJ. Ben has a way of breaking down moves and concepts so that anyone from the complete beginner to advanced student can understand and implement. To top it off, his infectious energy while instructing creates a comfortable and engaging learning environment. The other instructors I’ve been fortunate enough to train with here are also incredibly clear, detailed, easy to follow and take the time to work with you on individual moves you may find challenging. There is already a phenomenal group of people training here, with different experience levels, genders, ages and body sizes. If you have the chance to drop in, you should!!”
