Jouney Youhana
"Showed up from out of town on July 5th for an open mat. Zach the owner and instructor was very knowledgeable and welcoming. His students were well rounded and at no point did I feel like people were trying to rip my head off. If I ever moved to Omaha. This is where I would train."
Dominick Vanlaningham
"Training at Kaizen Submission Grappling in Omaha has been a fantastic experience. The coaches are truly amazing, making learning BJJ and grappling both fun and incredibly informative. The facility is top-notch, especially the comfortable spring floor. I've learned so much and felt so welcomed. If you're looking to learn grappling in Omaha, Kaizen is the place to be!"

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced grappler, this is an amazing place to train. Highly recommend!"
Mert Ureten
"I am so happy to be a part of this amazing gym. Grappling can be very tough to understand at first especially if you are a foreigner. Zach is a great instructor and very patient, other experienced members are very helpful too. 10/10."
