Wow. I’m an old broken down out of shape mid 40 year old. I had been training at another gym for a few months. This gym is next level. It’s coached by, and you train with legit world champions. And they are so accommodating and welcoming. Every coach makes their way to instruct every person. I am low man on the skill level and my classes end in more taps than subs, but I have learned so much. Just watching them coach is fascinating from what I was used to. Thanks team Pirata, happy to be part of the team.

Super great environment to learn and practice Jiu Jitsu. Every single instructor (Devin, Bianca, and Brooke) all have been extremely patient and helpful. They put what ever is being drilled in a way literally anyone can understand. From the way they structure the classes, the great teachers, to even the environment of the gym they built with all of the students you can’t go wrong choosing Pirata Jiu Jitsu. Has been an awesome experience so far for me and my son. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

I dropped in for a class a few weeks ago while in town for work. Professor was very friendly when I emailed ahead; told me I was welcome to come to any of the classes. When I showed up, I was greeted by no less than four different regulars. Instruction portion of class was great. We rolled about 8 or 9 rounds with mat open to everyone from white to black belt; higher belts were very respectful and helpful; it felt safe to roll with anyone there. Thank you all for the hospitality! If you’re in the area - check them out!!

Amazing environment. Everyone has been super welcoming. My teenage son just recently started going here and Devin is such a great instructor. He takes time with each student to make sure they are getting things correct. The energy here is great. Best place in KC to learn Jiujitsu.

Devin is an incredible instructor. The classes are straight to the point. No time is wasted and all the rolls are technical battles. If you are a competitor or just looking for a life changing hobby Pirata is a great place to train.
