Great school! Great Teaching! Coach Sean is very patient, knowledgeable and hospitable. I recently came in town which was work related and stopped in to train. I want to say thanks for helping me along my journey! I’m just a white belt trying to train and grow. I would recommend this school to all! I train in Arizona and if I lived in KC this would surely be my home. Thanks to all who I had the privilege to train and roll with tonight! God Bless!

Stopped in for a class while on a road trip. Had a great experience - friendly people, big - clean mat, great facilities including a shower! Easy parking (for a travel van). Skilled grapplers. $20 drop in fee, well worth it. Thanks guys!!! ?

If you want to learn Jiu-Jitsu and learn how to be a better human, this is where you want to be. If you are overwhelmed with the idea of walking through the door, let me ease your mind. We are a family here at GHKC and we want you to come join us. The instructors have created a great on-boarding program for new students that will ease you into the fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu and teach you how to train safely.I walked through that door in 2020 and I can honestly say it was the most impactful decision I have ever made. The training I have received here has been top notch. The instructors have dedicated their lives to the art, and you can see it in the way they teach. If you keep showing up, you will get good at Jiu-Jitsu, make great friends and your life overall will improve. Come join the family!

The best jiujitsu gym in Kansas City.I travel for work and I’m always visiting new jiujitsu gyms when I’m traveling across the country. Gracie Humaita Kansas City is one of the best gyms I’ve ever had the privilege of training at.The instructors have created a culture of safety, high performance, and effective technique practice. In other words, if you want to learn REAL jiujitsu, be surrounded by athletes, and have a safe environment to do it with great students - look no furtherI appreciated the friendliness and how the students and instructors welcomed me even though I’m from a different school and lineage of Jiu-Jitsu. I was impressed with the workout and the caliber of students they have created. Whether you’re a guest or wanting to try Jiu-Jitsu for the first time, this is the best school in Kansas City to take lessons from.Thanks for having me

I started training in September of 22. It's been about 7 months and the amount of balance and happiness I've derived from attending classes on a consistent basis was quite surprising. Feels like I've actually found a purpose in life. All the coaches are kind and intuitive and every student I've met has been a delight. I'm not gonna stop coming anytime soon and I strongly recommend GHKC for your combat sport ambitions. If you know you have grit and a non-quit mindset and you enjoy pushing yourself to new levels then this is the place for you.

I was visiting KC and the students and teachers went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and included. The training is excellent and helped me prepare for a tournament that weekend. Could not recommend more!

1 Million Stars!! 2 Kids in the Kids Program, My Daughter Started about a month ago and loves it. My son has been coming for about 9 Months and just received his first stripe!!! This has become much more than a "sport" or "activity" for them to get into, it truly is a real family! I feel like I owe all the coaches, especially Coach Anthony and definitely Coach Carlos, the biggest Thank You possible for not only giving my kids confidence and skills for life but also life lessons that will last forever!!

I’ve attended many different schools throughout the country for drop in classes and intro classes, and this one is the best i’ve been to. it’s chill, welcoming, and when i was going through financial problems i was always told “don’t worry just come to class”. they genuinely believe and teach that as long as you come to class not only will you get better you’ll improve your life outside the gym, and you’ll bring that back to the gym. Can’t wait to move back and get the kids back in. They don’t want your money, they need it to keep the business running, but they really want you to be a functioning member of the family.

They genuinely treat everyone like family. Large classes and the instructor still knows every child's name. Very accepting and will work with the kids and give a positive tough love feel which kids need. Can't say enough positive things about this school.

I’ve been training at GHKC for over a year now and love it. It has the best community where new white belts are supported and the instruction from black belts is outstanding, as is the teaching from brown, purple, and blue belts as well.I’ve made great friends and learned to love the journey. There’s lots of availability for classes in gi and no gi, and opportunities to roll after every session. The ownership is constantly renovating to improve the facility.GHKC is also very balanced between self-defense and competition philosophies. Everyone is welcome. Sign up for the onboarding if you’re new for a great intro to Jiu Jitsu.It’s the best stress management I’ve found, and well worth the investment.

We are in the program designed around younger kids and kids new to Jiu-Jitsu and we couldn’t be happier. They allow you to come in and experience some classes before you commit to ensure it’s the right place for your child. My son was so scared the first lesson and Sunny(one of the instructors) engaged him and got him on the mat and the next thing you know he’s all in. Carlos does a great job teaching the kids, he also is great with the newer students . It feels more like a community versus just a class. Very much like a community. I would recommend them to anyone and frankly I trust them with my children so that shows how good they really are.

I travel to KC about twice a year, and when visiting I always catch a class at Gracie Humaita. Every class I attend, I am amazed at the teaching, the students, and the skill they all have. The white belts are learning techniques I've never covered at the bjj gym I attend in NYC.Excellent people here, willing to work with you on developing and improving your bjj skills. Go!

So my wife and I travel a bunch for mission work, and I love to train as we go. That being said, I’ve probably visited over 200+ mma and bjj academies, and I had to stop and take a moment to shout out this academy! Gracie Humaita Kansas City is on another leve!! Professor Graeber is UNBELIEVABLE!! He is an INCREDIBLE instructor, and his passion for teaching is amazing! His students are super talented, and his level of detail on techniques makes it so easy to learn. And from the moment I walked in, he treated me like family. I cannot recommend this academy enough, and I cannot recommend visiting this place enough! Check them out for yourself! Whether brand new, or a veteran to the game, you WILL LEARN something new, while feeling right at home! :)
