Professor Jose, Coach Nate and the rest of the team are all very welcoming. My 10-year-old son and I love training here when we are in town. As a visiting Black Belt they really rolled out the red carpet. The school is immaculate and the facility is top notch. Excellent instruction and super clean. Everyone has a great positive attitude. The culture here is amazing. If you’re considering learning Jiu Jitsu, this is the place to do so in Mankato and the surrounding areas.

Jose and the other coaches are awesome. They all take time to make sure you are learning what they are teaching in class and always take the time to make sure you are improving.

We started out having our kids join Kato Jiu-Jitsu for learning self defense because our kids have been bullied in the past. Jiu-Jitsu is a real world type of defense. Now our whole family is taking the classes. An hour long class is a much better workout than any gym membership! Plus you're learning skills to keep you safe. Everyone has become like a second family there. It's a really great environment and welcoming to new members with zero judgment. For kids it's teaches respect, discipline, and builds confidence. They have a 4 time World Champion as an instructor! How cool is that?!?! They have deals and promotions running all of the time in addition to the 1 week free class.
