Martial Arts Schools in Kansas City

“Amazing instructors and incredible classes for the kids! Our son loves going to class!“

“My 11 year old son joined the academy the beginning of this year and we absolutely love it here. In these 4 short months he’s gained many marital arts skills and friendships with his classmates. Sensei Sanders and his family were welcoming from the first day. Definitely recommend Omega Karate!“

“Gracie Jiu Jitsu for the win! I just switched from Taekwondo to the Jiu Jitsu class and I am loving it. The people at the school and in the classes are great. My martial arts journey started here at 48. I would recommend this school for children (Master Coleman is wonderful with children) and adults. As a drug addict and alcoholic in recovery, it was a miracle that I found this school. I have to be surrounded by healthy people to recover. No complaints about Taekwondo classes, Jiu Jitsu was just a better match for my style (perhaps my wrestling and law enforcement background influenced my decision).“

“Been going to Baers for 7 years. Absolutely love the place. Friendly and inviting in every facet. Everyone is there for the furthering of the culture and skills of all fencers.Baer and Kat run everything clearly and efficiently. If you are looking for somewhere to start I cannot recommend them enough.“

“Really fun beginner class with a friendly instructor. We went over basic moves, then did some choreography, then finished with some drumming and singing. I really felt like we got a history lesson and a full well-rounded intro to capoeira.“

“I recommend training with Maurice and Kali Combat training, Good teacher good training area practical training for survival in a dangerous world.“

“Pride is a place where you can learn martial arts and take away much more. Respect, integrity and self-esteem are fostered in a positive environment. Pride has experienced and skilled instructors that manage large classes excellently and make hard work fun! Definitely a place to go if you are interested in martial arts, self defense or kick boxing!!!“

“Our family absolutely loves our weekly trip to The Little Gym! Coach Robin and Coach Chy are the absolute best, and we trust either of them entirely with our baby girl. They have an unmatched enthusiasm and skillset with littles. Our daughter absolutely loves both of them and all the fun skills/stunts she picks up every week! Little Gym checks so many boxes. Confidence, risk taking, social skills, sharing, sign language, following directions, and so much more. An absolute must for any all families looking for a memorable and fun/safe activity to do together. ❤️“

“The best gym in the KC area to train at. The krav coaches are great and put you through a workout. You don’t have to worry about the “veterans” having egos or belittling you, they’re all helpful and welcoming. I’ve never been through a self-defense class in my life but after just turning 50, I feel so much better mentally and physically. Give them a try and you won’t be disappointed.“
