Brazil Academy - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu School — Local services in Lenexa

I joined here in February 2020. I had been looking to join for six years before that, but never followed up. If you are interested in Jujitsu, you really can't find a better place in Kansas City. The instructors are passionate about Jujitsu and teaching it to new students. If you are thinking about it, jump in.

The instruction and facilities are excellent, but really what sets the place apart is the overall environment. There is a distinct sense of community that is shared by everyone that trains and works here. One area where I see this frequently is in the beginner class. The first thing that happens is that the more senior belts in the class will welcome anyone new and make sure to fist bump or shake hands with everyone.

The beginner classes are challenging and build upon the previous week's material. Everyone from all skill levels is welcome on Saturdays, which is an excellent way to see where you are and how far you need to go.

There is really something for all levels at Brazil Academy; learning the basics, improved fitness, and even the chance to compete. I only have done the Jujitsu classes and a few boot camp classes while waiting for my daughter to get done in class. There are other avenues for learning here as well, such as Capoeira...

The thing that sticks out most: attention to detail in every aspect of this facility. One of the cleanest training environments you'll ever find. Even the details of the locker room, down to the stylish shower heads, are tasteful, functional and ridiculously tidy. Brazil Academy boasts the best schedule I've encountered in a martial arts facility. I can't conceive of a work or life schedule that would prevent a person from consistently attending at least 3 days a week. As far as instruction, that attention to detail is again evident. Classes are structured, productive and cooperative. I speak as a person who lacks a lot of the natural talents that make for great grapplers, but every single session I walk out just a little better and with a better concept of the techniques instructed and drilled. Finally, price. I'll just put plainly: for what Brazil Academy provides, the rates are a bargain. Basically within the normal range for martial arts/physical fitness facilities but with all those added benefits that come from very thoughtful, efficient and intelligent planning. Highest possible...

My family and I LOVE Brazil Academy. My son and I take Capoeira there while my husband does BJJ. They also have Muay Thai and a really good cafe.

The professors and mestres are all very knowledgeable. All of the staff members are awesome. One of my favorite parts is the family/community atmosphere. Everyone there is extremely supportive.

The kids have a blast with capoeira there. They learn a lot while having fun. I can't speak for the kids' BJJ, but the kids I do hear talking about it seem to enjoy it.

The adult capoeira classes are fantastic. Please don't think you need to be in awesome shape or need to be able to cartwheel to start. I started a bit over a month ago and im in my 40's. I'm a little overweight and can't do a cartwheel to save my life. But I'm getting there and this is the best exercise I have ever had in my life!

Come join the party! You won't be...
