Alive Jiu Jitsu

  Great gym. Very positive and non-toxic culture, everyone is very friendly, patient, and welcoming. Price is pretty standard for a fighting gym, but they have a variety of different classes and they're all included. So you could pay for a monthly membership and go to multiple different classes everyday if you have the time, which makes it more than worth it. VERY WELCOMING TO LGBT, WOMEN, POC, ETC!!!

  I dropped in for the nogi class and the coach Justin along with the students made me feel very welcome. The class consisted of games using techniques with some live resistance which made the class very fun. The rolls afterwards were very competitive and high level, looking forward to visiting again when I'm in Kansas City.

  I was in Kansas City for a few days and decided to drop in at Alive Jiu-Jitsu, and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I stepped in, Coach Justin made me feel right at home. Justin took the time to introduce himself, explain the class structure, and even gave me personal pointers during training. His knowledge and teaching style are top-notch, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the students’ growth. The gym itself has a great atmosphere—clean, well-equipped, and full of positive energy. Everyone in class was super friendly and made me feel like part of the team, even for just a short visit.

  Best place in town for open mat and no gi rolls. Justin has been around KC well over a decade and is a great competitor and coach. His teams results in such a short time speak volumes to his skills as a leader.

  I love coming to Alive Jiu Jitsu…. It’s a place that is all about our grappling community and that is rare to find as I have been training since 2008! The owner, Justin Fabac is generous with both his time and knowledge….. You just have to experience this place to understand the value, I would HIGHLY recommend!

  Alive Jiu Jitsu is the top Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in Kansas City, conveniently located in the Crossroads district. The expert instructors offer both No-Gi and Gi classes for all skill levels, creating a welcoming and supportive environment. With programs for kids and adults, the gym is perfect for anyone looking to build skills, improve fitness, or prepare for competition. Its central location makes training accessible and easy to fit into your schedule. I love the community and the culture here.

  Awesome gym and coaching staff. The gym is in a great spot in the Crossroads, has multiple classes throughout the week so it’s easy to make it to classes and guys and girls that train here all like to have fun and are serious about learning the crafts. Added perks is the available parking and mat space. Would recommend for all levels.

  Alive es increíble! Los instructores son muy dedicados y expertos, te hacen sentir bienvenido desde el primer día. El ambiente es amigable y motivador, y te enseñan no solo las técnicas de Jiu-jitsu, sino también valores como el respeto y la disciplina. ¡Definitivamente recomendaría esta escuela a cualquiera que quiera aprender y mejorar en este arte marcial!

  Really nice place. Located in a great part of the city, there is plenty of mat space in a comfortable environment. No matter how experienced you may be, Justin and the other folks that come in will make you feel welcome. Lots of seating makes it easy for spouses or family members to sit and watch or hangout.

  Justin is super detailed oriented patient and talented. He is great with all ages, there are always high level BJJ practitioners in the room here! I’ve trained under him since 2020. Great person and great coach all around. He surrounds himself with equally great people. If you want a welcoming gym which is set up for you to learn at your own pace no matter how fast or slow, this is the place. He will always meet you where you’re at and you will always feel welcome! And if you want fast paced there’s also a ton of experienced upper levels and competition guys and gals in the room that will push you to your limits!

  Solid open mat with a large and diverse group of people to roll with. Multiple black belts in attendance as well as many newer practitioners being white and blue belts. Both gi and no gi. Facility is still coming together a bit but overall great first impression!

  Justin is a great coach that I’ve been training under for years even before this gym opened. He’s got a lot of experience coaching both adults and kids. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming with various levels of experience. The facilities are great, a lot of mat space with changing rooms and good seating for any parents or spouses that want to sit and watch.
