Kids Jiu Jitsu in Lee's Summit

Structured, supportive classes that build confidence, focus and real self-defense skills — taught by coaches who care about every student. Family memberships available.

Why jiu-jitsu

More than a sport

  • Confidence

    Kids learn they can handle pressure — on the mat and off it.

  • Real self-defense

    Jiu-jitsu teaches control without striking, so kids can protect themselves safely.

  • Focus & discipline

    Structured classes with clear expectations and coaches who know every kid by name.

  • Fitness that’s fun

    Strength, balance and coordination built through games, drills and teamwork.

FAQ

Questions from parents

What should I wear to my first class?

Comfortable athletic clothes you can move in — a fitted t-shirt or rash guard and shorts or athletic pants without zippers or pockets. Remove jewelry and trim your nails. Bring a water bottle and sandals for walking off the mat. Let us know when you schedule your free class and we'll tell you what to expect.

What ages do you teach?

Our youth classes (Youth Jiu Jitsu and Youth No-Gi) are for kids ages 5 to 12. Students 13 and older train in our adult classes (Adult Gi and Adult No-Gi). The minimum age is 5.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No. Memberships are month-to-month with no long-term contract and no enrollment fee. Your first class is free.

What's the difference between Gi and No-Gi?

Gi classes train in the traditional jiu-jitsu uniform (kimono), where grips on the collar and sleeves shape the game. No-Gi classes train in athletic clothing, rash guard and shorts. No-Gi is a faster style of grappling. Both teach the same core grappling, and many students train both.
