"I was really interested to train here after not finding any JiuJitsu in the UP for several years - Great laid back atmosphere, good coaching -The whole crew was awesome! + I had a great time training and managed to improve my fitness and learn some new techniques. If you don't know, BJJ is a martial art that improves not only your ability to defend yourself, but also: Cardio, flexibility, strength, and weight management. I look forward to training with Stan and the team every time I'm in Houghton/Hancock or anywhere close. Give it a shot, JiuJitsu can change your life for the better- it has mine"
Erik Albinson
"I dropped in to train while vacationing in the UP. Stan is an excellent instructor. He provides high quality technical instruction, and it is clear that Stan is very knowledgeable and well-rounded coach.The students at the school were friendly and mirrored their instructor’s technical skill. This is an impressive BJJ school. I highly recommend."

Cari Janssen
"Amazing gym, team, and coaches! I trained here for about 3 years. I felt welcomed and a part of the team from day one. The main coach, Stan, goes above and beyond for his students and is very invested in the team and the gym. There's something for everyone, whether you want to compete, learn self defense, or just get a great workout in. KJJ is a great martial arts gym!"
