Old School Jiu Jitsu

“I never post reviews, but Old School Jiu Jitsu holds a special place in my heart and I think more people should know about the great things going on here! The culture here is something that’s hard to find elsewhere. Everyone is friendly and inviting and you will truly feel like you are wanted. The coaches put everything they have into class and want everyone to succeed. Whether your goal is to compete, learn self defense, or just have fun you can expect to be supported along the way. Jake has done an amazing job fostering the environment within the gym and has built both an exceptional kids and adult program. If you are on the fence about trying this out, do it and don’t look back! It will likely be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.”

“Being apart of this gym was one of my favorite parts about being in Kirksville. Jake and the other coaches are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. A great place to make friends and learn. Highly recommend to people of all levels!”

“Got to train here on my last visit and I must say Kirksville is really lucky to have an academy of this quality. The coaching from Jake and the other instructors is really world class. If you've been thinking about getting into BJJ or trying out MMA, I can't recommend Old School Jiu Jitsu enough. Thanks again for the great sessions and rolls guys!”

“If you’re ever in the area this gym is definitely worth stopping by. Had some great rolls with some great people, no injuries, and no egos. Definitely wasn’t expecting this small town to have a gym like this 🤘🏽 you guys are killin it keep up the good work!”

“Old school jiu jitsu is one of the best things about Kirksville. Coach Jake has created a space for everyone to learn jiu jitsu and make some great friends! Starting a martial art as a girl is super intimidating but everyone at old school made it so easy to feel comfortable. If you’re even a little bit interested you should give it a try!”
