otherworld Jiu Jitsu

"I stopped by Other World Jiu-Jitsu in Lawrence for an open drilling class and was impressed with what a great environment they have. The instruction and flow of the session were phenomenal, clear, focused, and packed with a lot useful details. Both instructors Colin and Shane clearly know what they’re doing. Whether you’re just dropping in or looking for a new gym to call home, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I definitely will be stopping by again when I’m in the area."

"Been stopping by on Sundays for open mat and I have nothing but great things to say! Shane and Collin are awesome, and Otherworld has been such a great community to train with!"

"I have always been a pilates/barre type of person and would never have done Jiu Jitsu in a million years. But there's this new gym called Otherworld opening up and my friend convinced me to try it together. Parking is super easy. The gym is in a nice area and the place is very bright and clean, simple yet well-designed. At first I felt a little intimidated because Jiu Jitsu just "looks that way", and I had no idea what to expect. But the owners/instructors Shane and Collin are super welcoming and patient. They explained and demonstrated everything so well. And I can tell they're very passionate and knowledgeable with their craft. My takeaway from my first class is Jiu Jitsu is such a mental game as much as a physical one, and I love it! I am so happy to have discovered Otherworld. I'm going to take advantage of their opening promo and add this to my regular workout routine. Thank you!"

"When I was a white belt, I got to experience Collin Rudolph as a private lesson instructor and Shane McCarthy as both an instructor and as a competition coach when he was teaching at Princeton BJJ Their instruction is clear and their passion for BJJ is contagious. Shane’s classes are filled with hard work, focus, laughter, and fun. I always left any private session with Collin feeling like good work had been done and an excitement to bring what I learned from him to my next training session. When competing, Shane gave me room to be creative and instruction on how to get me over the finish line. Both Shane and Collin would meet me where I was at as a student and that quality in an instructor makes an incredible difference. I’m so excited for these two to open up OtherWorld and can’t wait to see what they do."
