Great staff, great people, great work. A really good place to be for any combat athlete. Highly recommend attending saturday open sparring sessions.
I found this gym during one of the more difficult years I’ve experienced, I was in a pretty deep depression and I just couldn’t seem to shake it. Day one showing up to Chute Boxe Professor Claudio greeted me with open arms, and some of the guys taught me how to wrap my hands prior to warms ups. It’s been a year since my first day, and I try not to miss a single week of training. This place, the people really helped pull me out of something to a point I was able to stop counseling all together. Everyone here, Will, Nick, Professor Claudio, they’re an incredible group of men. They were patient and helpful when I first began, and now that I have started to learn more of the technique they push me to improve with each session. I’ve tried a couple of other gyms, there is nothing like Chute Boxe and there is not an instructor like Professor Claudio.
(Long read, but worth it!) I recently embarked on an exciting journey into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I couldn't have asked for a more exceptional guide than Professor Claudio. With his vast knowledge, unwavering passion, and unmatched teaching abilities, Professor Claudio has truly transformed my BJJ experience into an extraordinary adventure. From the moment I stepped onto the mat, Professor Claudio's welcoming and supportive demeanor immediately put me at ease. But it wasn't just him; the warm welcome I received from other students in the class truly made me feel like part of a tight-knit community. From experienced practitioners to fellow newcomers, everyone was genuinely friendly, encouraging, and eager to help each other grow. The camaraderie among the students is a testament to Professor Claudio's ability to foster a supportive learning environment. It is evident that he cultivates a culture of respect, humility, and inclusivity within his classes. Whether it's partnering up for drills or engaging in live sparring, I never felt judged or intimidated. Instead, I found myself surrounded by individuals who were not only passionate about BJJ but also invested in each other's progress. The more experienced students readily offered guidance and shared their knowledge with newcomers like me. They patiently took the time to explain techniques, provided helpful tips, and even offered additional practice sessions outside of class. Their willingness to lend a helping hand and support my development has been invaluable, and I am grateful for the bonds I've formed within this community. Under Professor Claudio's guidance, the warm welcome from other students has enhanced my learning experience in countless ways. It has created an atmosphere where questions are encouraged, mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn, and achievements are celebrated together. This sense of belonging and shared enthusiasm for BJJ has truly made my journey as a newcomer all the more rewarding. In addition to the exceptional teaching abilities of Professor Claudio, the genuine camaraderie among students elevates the overall experience. The welcoming nature and support from fellow practitioners enhance the learning environment, fostering an atmosphere where everyone can thrive. It's a testament to the positive and inclusive community that Professor Claudio has cultivated within his classes. In summary, joining Professor Claudio's BJJ classes at Chute Boxe not only provides top-notch instruction but also introduces you to a warm and welcoming community of passionate individuals. The genuine camaraderie among students creates an environment where everyone feels included, supported, and motivated to reach their fullest potential. If you're looking for a BJJ professor who not only imparts knowledge but also surrounds you with a network of like-minded individuals, Professor Claudio is the perfect choice. His dedication, expertise, and the inclusive atmosphere he fosters will undoubtedly enrich your BJJ journey and leave you inspired to excel both on and off the mat. Oss!
Honestly, this place was my second home for a very long time! I had to leave the state due to life circumstances in 2020 and I was never able to find another place like Chute Boxe 🥹 I am now coming to KCK for business and was happy to see the gym going strong. While they're in a new location, the energy and amazing team at Chute Boxe stayed the same. I am only in town for a short time period but this is the only place I'll ever go. Family friendly, welcoming atmosphere, great social environment, attentive and motivating trainers (even with their "torture methods" of training 😂) I will ALWAYS recommend their Fitness boxing classes!!!
The best place for Boxing, Muay Thai and Ji jetsu, amazing stuff,
The best place for Boxing, Muay Thai and Ji jetsu, amazing stuff,
Great trainers and a friendly atmosphere. Very nice Muay Thai gym!
This is/was my first experience boxing as a sport and for fitness. While you will 100% sweat, work hard, and have crazy cardio/strength exercises - you will also learn a lot. If you appreciate the art of boxing in the slightest, want to be engaged while working out, and like learning while becoming more fit - this is it. Alex is phenomenal and I have felt welcomed from the beginning. 5/5 KC Gym
Probably one of, if not THE best MMA gym i’ve been to. Everyone is Kind and treats you like family, environment is amazing, Trainers are highly qualified and provide an immense amount of Knowledge. I train Boxing there and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone wanting to get into shape, compete, or anyone who wants to learn how to box or learn BJJ or even Muay Thai.
Chute Boxe KC is the greatest gym in the area! No other gym compares to the greatness Chute Boxe holds. This gym is great for beginners or martial artist wanting improve! If you want to learn, it will be so. The gym is filled with knowledge and expertise, with a team that knows what they are talking about. Professor is great with the wisdom he shares alongside humility and integrity! Viva Chute Boxe. Still blessed to call this place my 2nd home.
Great with kids and a good price instructors are great in every class.
This place is the best Jiu Jitsu/Muay Thai/MMA/Fitness Boxing club in KC. Professor Claudio has an immense wealth of knowledge in combat sports.
Chute Boxe KC is a great place for both kids and adults to train. Professor Claudio is an excellent teacher and the gym always has a friendly vibe.
Incredible instruction and fundamentals for all levels of experience. Professor has a tremendous amount of knowledge and techniques in various martial arts!
Good experience and got drained for an hour. I booked this class with class pass and it was one hour session. The trainer was good and I went for a boxing class. It was a good experience and we were completely satisfied with the experience.
Best gym I've been to. Professor and the staff are amazing and helpful.
Ultimate gym experience! Excellent workout with expert level instructors offering diversity and multiple disciplines. My daughter and I attend classes together and have gained strength, power and confidence, all while learning defensive and offensive skill sets. So happy to have found this gym!
So glad I did my research! Though this location is 40 minutes away, it proved itself to be worth the drive in the first five minutes. My son is taking youth boxing and Alex was a delight. He spoke to him respectfully but with a sense of leadership that warrants attention. The other youth were welcoming to my son and it is clear this is a community built on respect. I enjoyed watching my son learn something new and was equally intrigued watching Professor Claudio teach Jiu Jitsu. The open space allows for viewing of all activities and is clean and inviting. My son was exhausted and said he was initially nervous but after working with Alex, he is excited and he can't wait for his next class. Highly recommend!
Excellent Muay Thai and BJJ training, highly recommend!
Top-notch instruction. Battle-proven technique. From novice to pro, your journey will be set on the right path.
This gym has the perfect mix of sparring and technique. I personally prefer Muay Thai over bjj but will go to both classes. The people are exceptionally welcoming and supportive. I highly recommend this gym whether you're just getting started or a veteran with many years of experience.
The most experienced trainers in Kansas City. Great for beginners or advanced athletes. Incredible community.
Excellent training! Highly recommend training with Professor Mattos! Highly skilled BJJ and Muay Thai teacher!
I have been here a few months now and after being away from bjj for 3 almost 4 years this has been a great place to get back into it. Even though I have only been able to get back into the gym a few days a week due to having a new baby I haven't felt judged and have been welcomed to every class. I'm looking forward to spending a long time with professor Claudio Professor Calen and teammates and continuing to train at Chute Boxe KC. Also thanks Nick for always having the doors open for open mat.
I love chute boxe! The teachers are great and their family friendly. My children have been their for over 2 years and they absolutely love it.
Love this gym!!! They treat everyone like family and want the very best for each member.
The growth I've seen in both me and my girls is astonishing. It has made every penny and hours spent, every sore muscle, and every drop of sweat WORTH IT. My girls are more confident, more focused and disciplined at school, and just stronger in general. Chute Boxe KC is the reason why. I'll never go to another gym as long as I have a say in the matter
Great gym. The instructors and students were all patient and very respectful. Best work out in years. I'm hooked, can't wait to go again.
Excellent instruction, welcoming atmosphere, top-of-the-line facility. Can't recommend enough.
Couldn't imagine training at a different gym. Incredible atmosphere, community and unmatched instructors. Weather just seeking fitness, beginner in martial arts, or professional MMA fighter, I couldn't recommend Chute Boxe enough.
Perfect place to go for skilled instruction in a plethora of martial arts.
I have trained at many gyms around the country. I will say KC Chute Boxe is my top gym. The wealth of knowledge, from the Grand Master to even the new students is amazing. The gym comes with enough mat space to train with partners as well as heavy bags to train striking. The instructors are friendly and professional. The students conduct themselves professionally and help perfect your technique. If you’re looking to learn techniques that can be used in real-life scenarios, look no more. This is the best gym in KC hands-down! This is coming from a former US Marine. Any prior service members will learn a great deal and face some tough training here. I encourage all who May have an interest in learning a discipline, to come here first. You will not be disappointed.
I have been attending Chute Boxe for almost a year now and have to say it is excellent. There’s a huge variety of different ways to train there, whether you want to become a fighter, do bjj, boxing, Muy Thai or just get in shape. All the instructors are great teachers whether you have experience or not and will tailor to your skill level. I would highly recommend Chute Boxe to anyone.
Great atmosphere, with well informed, joyful instructors. Allowing for a family like vibe that anyone can easily hop into.
I started at Chute Boxe 2 years ago and from day 1 have been treated like family. Every one is there to help each other and grow together. You don't have to worry about being judged coming in new, every one there is friendly, humble and happy that you're there!
Can't say enough as to how much I love this gym and staff. Many different classes to choose from developing your body and skills. Glad to be a part of this Mixed Martial Arts Family.
Great place to train. The staff here is very kind, from the professors to the instructors to the personal trainers, each make you feel very welcome. They undoubtedly possess a deep understanding for the mixed martial arts and personal fitness. The way the training sessions are ran, it welcomes every skill level. I walked in a year ago with no knowledge of grappling and they have done a wonderful job of helping me reach my fitness goals along with improving my mindset.
Best gym in the Kansas City area. It's an amazing opportunity to learn from a LEGEND in the sport of MMA, Professor Claudio "Popeye" Mattos. Google his name and the fighters that came out of the original Chute Boxe in Brazil and you will find out. The other head coach, Calen Born, is a collector of black belts in martial arts (BJJ, Judo, Kung fu kickboxing). I'm sure he would have one in wrestling too if it had a belt system. He has a long history of coaching students to success and is a very accomplished professional MMA fighter himself. If you're looking for a place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, or MMA in general, this is the place to be.
Love this place! It is a wonderful community with invaluable instructors.
Professor Claudio Mattos is a master at his craft, with good details in his BJJ and Muay Thai instruction. Even when he's not available, Calen Born also brings in top level instruction, not only maintaining the authenticity that Professor Claudio brings, but adding in his own twists from his many years of wrestling experience. Mats are kept clean, everyone else is friendly and informative, and the sparring keeps me on my toes. If you're on the fence, they offer free trials also for their classes to try at no cost.
The nicest people! I feel so welcomed. It's a second home for me. When you're there, you learn and grow as a team, as a family. CHUTE BOXE KC!!
Love this place! The instructors are knowledgeable and create a welcoming environment for all skill levels.
Been there a couple of times for BJJ class. Worked with Calen and Professor. Very enjoyable, pushed me alot and the rolls with the different members were great. I plan to go back soon and many times afterwards.
Awesome MMA gym! Great instructors and supportive and friendly team community among the members. Lots of classes to choose from for any age and skill level. I’ve been a member for over a year and love it!
Five stars, hands down the most welcoming place to train. Everyone treats one another as family. Whether you are new to the martial arts or a seasoned fighter, you will find what you are looking for at Chute Boxe.
When I first joined, I was in college (trying to lose my freshman 30) and had zero experience. The instructors are SUPER patient and helpful and the awesome family atmosphere helps keep me accountable and coming back for more!
Great professors, great facilities, and great training.
From the moment I started going to Chute, its been the best experience. Everyone has been so welcoming, it has felt like home. I've been fighting in this city for at least 9 years now. The Chute box has been the best experience training. Chute box has got everything anyone, weather your preparing for completion or staying in shape. This is the spot. If your looking for a place to train, get in shape or if you want to find something productive to do with your free time...come to the Chute box. Its worth it.
Great people who are very passionate and genuinely care.
Best gym in town! I joined Chutebox as someone with zero experience in fighting. Instructors were so welcoming and helped me sort everything out patiently. As other reviews have mentioned, here is like a family; I have met some beautiful souls and made friends here. Training is INTENSE but fulfilling. My stamina boosted dramatically after several months of training. They really teach techniques, unlike some self-proclaimed “boxing gyms” which are just fitness gym. If you move to KC by yourself, want to learn some authentic fighting techniques and make some friends, you should def check this place out!
Was in town for work for the week and had nothing but a positive experience learning and training with this group. Phenomenal instruction and an awesome group to train with, whether you’re a beginner, a black belt, or anything in between!
Chute Boxe KC is more than fitness classes and a martial arts school, even though it does an excellent job with these; It is a place that treats you like family while providing high level martial arts instructions and dedicated staff to motivate you to do your best.
Excellent instructors and a very good atmosphere at this gym. Everyone is respectful and even during free roll/sparring, place partner safety at the forefront. I'm happy to be at this gym and look forward to learning from Professor Mattos and Professor Calen for the next few years to come.
I have been to many schools around the country always looking for a combination of boxing and BJJ. I really like the old school discipline more than the “everyone gets an award” approach, so a school that forces me to work for achievements is more valuable to me than one where I can just show up and get attendance based promotions. In my home town, the very best combination of everything I’m looking for, is Chute Boxe. If I was working downtown or on the plaza, it would be an easy choice to stop here on the way home. Unfortunately, I’m 30 minutes away, but the training is so good that I make that drive. I know students that come from as far away as Belton and Louisburg. Here you can find training in Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Fitness kickboxing, Muay Thai, general fitness classes, some Judo, and MMA etc. The class schedules are consistent and typically the main classes are an hour and a half, which provides for fitness warm ups, lessons, and sparing. The classes are not overly packed where you are lost in a sea of people. You feel like you are a focus for them, which is good for getting to your personal best. If you are training for competition, I can’t imagine better guidance. In particular the Sunday classes that focus specifically on competition topics. You will pick up things that no other school teaches. I am not a star performer by any stretch. You can train here and be where you need to be that day. As an older participant, there are times I need to slow things down a little or account for my bad knees, and I’m allowed that time. I may mentally kick myself for needing that time! But we are all at different points on our journey. The place feels like a community. A private Facebook group where folks share their experiences, and a general camaraderie before during and after training. You will want to come back and learn more. So, spend two or three nights a week training at Chute Boxe, and your future self will thank you for the fitness and knowledge!
One of the most fun things you can do! Having no fighting experience, walking into this place was intimidating. Lucky for me and us all this super nice girl named Stacy was at the front desk ready to help! She got me started. Stacy has been there for me since day one with anything I ever wanted or needed to know. Professor Claudio is one of the funniest humans on the planet and has so much jujitsu to teach it never gets old. Chute boxe kc is a great place. With instructors like Calen Born and Nik Faulken both active MMA fighters they have everything you need to learn to fight and defend and have fun and be healthy. 6 stars. Oss
Fantastic instructors in all the disciplines they offer. It’s a safe, friendly environment where the students help one another to improve. Best gym I’ve ever trained at.
Last summer, my husband and I were looking for a place for our son to spend some of his free time without wasting that time. He had taken a few jiu jitsu classes organized by a neighbor, so he had a taste for the sport, though little did we know how much he would come to love it and excel at it, due in large part because of the coaching and support he has received at Chute Boxe. As a beginner he was a bit shy at first, not knowing all of the lingo and trying to remember all the moves. He found assistance not only from the coaches but from every member that he rolled against. As a 12-year-old who is pretty tall for his age, he was welcomed in both the kids and adult classes at the gym. He has been able to work with all of the coaches and says that he feels so comfortable because they don't make him feel like he's bad when he makes a mistake or doesn't know a move yet. They build him up, tell him how he can do better, and expect him to always do his best. Professor, Claudio Matteas - there really isn't enough that can be said for the benefit he has brought into my son's life. As a former professional fighter, he brings a perspective that my son finds fascinating. And he's a gentle giant who rolls hard with the adults and then gives the kids just as much challenge as they need for their level. The other coaches are also top-knotch. Calen, Nik, Roderick, Brad (and I know I'm missing some of them by name) are all 100% dedicated to making sure everyone has a good time and learns at the same time. They don't play favorites or act as if they are better than anyone else, they are there to teach everybody. And I can't forget Stacy, the glue that holds Chute Box KC together! She mans the desk and does so many other duties they can't possibly all be named, and she does them all to ensure a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for everyone. If I had to sum up Chute Boxe KC in one word: Family.
After our son was mugged while we were working overseas we looked for a place to help him with self defense and to build his self esteem all I have to say is this place is now family !! From the kindness that they’ve shown to us as parents and to our son to the level of sincerity in which they have shown to us not as customers but as friends and family I’d never go anywhere else. By the way I weigh 300 lbs and I’ve joined this year to be more active with our son and I’m loving it.
These guys know what they are talking about! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and know how to push you no matter what your fitness level is. Very clean facility also. Would recommend this gym for anyone.
Offers a complete range of classes for everyone from the beginner to the professional fighter. Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ, and a host of fitness classes offered at one location, and the instructor (Professor Claudio Mattos) is world class. Highly recommended.
Awesome place to be, friendly and respectful environment great people. I am fan of the sport much respect to you all.👍😉
We are so thankful to have found this gym for our girls to begin training in Jiu Jitsu. The kids coaches are amazing. They have shared their love of the sport, encouraged my girls and helped them develop their skills. I can’t say enough good things about the people - from the owners to the instructors - all are top notch. We are proud to be a part of the Chute Boxe KC family.
It’s an excellent place for both kids and adults. Awesome instructors, super friendly staff, and a great crowd. Very affordable rates and open 7 days per week.
Professor Claudio is the best! Best gym I have ever been to.
Far and away the finest gym experience my son and I have ever had. We looked hard because of how important this is to him. He is 19 and seriously focused on boxing and Muay Thai. I’m focused on making it to my 90’s in good shape! There are levels of boxing and strength and conditioning classes that are great for me. And have to say I’ve never seen a better place for 6 year olds up to any age for really learning Ju Jitsu. Most of the instructor/coaches either are or have been professional fighters. The support and focus on skill development is for real! There is a fair amount of laughter as well!
Great gym! They offer instruction you can’t find in Kansas City. Family friendly too!
I went to at least 3 other gyms trying to find a good gym and then I found the best gym! Training schedual is great coming from someone who works 10-12 hours a day. Kids classes are great and the instructors are the best I've ever met. Specially Cladio! I can't recommend this place enough
ChuteBoxe is Amazing! Professor Claudio is the best in KC! He is the kindestyes most dangerous man I know. My first class with him I knew ChuteBoxe was going to be my home. The whole staff is Amazing. The kids program is amazing! My daughter's are a part of it and they absolutely love it. I feel very fortunate to have discovered ChuteBoxe. I feel so privileged to call this my this place my home gym. ChuteBoxe is like family and the expertise is second to none. Do your self a favor and try this place out. You won't be sorry.
My son says 4 and 1/2 stars. He doesn't give five stars lol but he has a lot of fun doing youth boxing!!
I went in for the complimentary first class. This is the first muay thai lesson i have been to outside of Thailand. I honestly feel bad giving them a 3 rating since they don't focus on striking. But still the trainer they had wanted to teach so really bad technique. Throwing kicks while off balance and dropping the hands to launch "liver shot combinations". For me the worst part is the fact that they had 20 punching bags and we didn't practice the "drills" on those. I was paired with a guy who was struggling as much as i was. When I mentioned that I couldn't kick with a forward foot (between my partners feet) because it was too close to do any damage the trainer said "your shins are baseball bats and even a kick with no power will drop him if you hit him in the liver". I am NOT athletically gifted. But I'm pretty sure even people who are can't do that. Ultimately the reason I was giving them a 3 is because when the class was over the trainer didn't even chat with me. Not to tell me about membership, or costs not to ask how i liked it or anything. He said good job and turned around and started to chat with 2 other people. I had questions and hung around for 3-5 minutes trying to wait for him to be done. But he never looked in my direction. I could seriously get more interaction from the YouTube trainers than that guy. He never even said his name. I'm sure that the jiu jujitsu is fine but I'm not going back.
Honestly so disappointed in this location. My husband signed up 1 month before leaving to the military, and was very clear he only wanted a 30 day membership. They charged him for the following month. I've been calling since November 29, with no phone all back. All I got a text message saying he needed to give a 30 day notice to cancel. Which he did the day he signed up asking for only one month memebership due to army. I emailed them please asking for a refund, and no response yet. Very unprofessional. Check reviews , I'm not the first with a cancelation and communication issue
I reached out twice regarding lessons for my son with no response. Very disappointing as this seemed like a great possibility.
Good young instructors, however management at this place is horrendous. This place is full of hidden fees and weird cancellation policies, they wrongfully charged me 300+ and refused to refund me.Once you sign up, you also have to cancel that same day if you don't want to continue. On top of that, they constantly cancel pracitice on non-holidays for no apparent reasons. Only 21/30 days of the month practice was available, after paying 183 for 1 month! Not to mention the main instuctor doesn't speak english!!!! Hate writing this report becuase the people were nice when I was present, but just because I have parted ways they have been horribly difficult.
