What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Greg Davis
"My experience with Square One Jiu Jitsu has been fantastic! The instructor is friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to learn from. The other students have been fun to work with and help me learn along the way, and I love the progress I'm seeing in just over a month! I've never done any type of martial art or combat sport so I am 100% new to this, and I have felt supported the entire way. I highly suggest you give Square One in Lee's Summit a try!"
Chad Lower
"I met Josh at another academy and had the chance to get to know him. He’s been very welcoming and has helped me understand Jiu Jitsu at a higher level. I stopped by to train with him a couple days ago and got in a good workout and he challenged my skills while giving me advice on how I can improve. 5 star experience."
Brian Schowengerdt
