EDIT- Well according to Google it has been 7 months since I made this review. I have a few more training hours under my belt, but I still feel the same way about Jiu Jitsu & Kick Boxing Unlimited. I enjoy going as much as I can for the camaraderie and the physical training. My youngest daughter has joined and loves the youth classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. She always has her bag ready to go and her responsibilities taken care of so that she can go. I definitely recommend trying this out. Professor John is always happy to talk to people walking off the street to answer any questions that you have. I am a complete newbie to Martial Arts and found them through a veteran's foundation called We Defy Foundation. I contacted the academy through their online portal and had a timely response that answered my questions. I stopped in a few days later and talked with the Professor, John Devall. He took the time to speak with me and managed the warmup of his class. He got me setup for Jiu Jitsu class and then he spoke to me on a personal level and I really appreciated it. I attended my first class in the evening today and Professor Devall was coaching it. The class was split into different segments that flowed very well and were managed so that it all came together with out you really being able to notice (unless you were nervous and half freaking out like I was). It was an Intermediate No Gi but everyone worked with me, explained positions, basics and safety to me. They answered my questions (sometimes a couple times in a row) and made it informative and challenging. It was a great experience all the way through and I have to say that there wasn't a low point for me. Definitely recommend for a person looking to explore a martial art and don't know where to start. They all made me feel welcome (and each person literally welcomed me and introduced themselves). The location has enough parking and is at a location that has easy access from Gordon Drive. Inside is clean and has plenty of space for the training. There are 2 separate areas to change if needed and plenty of storage space for gear.
Posted 1 year agoOur son joined the kids class tonight at Jiu Jitsu Unlimited and enjoyed himself very much. We always love doing the seminars with John DeVall he’s a great teacher and explains things very well. The gym has a great vibe, and the community is incredibly welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to learn jiu-jitsu.
Posted 11 months agoI was visiting Siouxland and wanted to hit the gym for some jiu-jitsu. I was able to find this gym- FYI, Google maps will get you to Planet Fitness parking lot, so if you get lost Jiu-jitsu and Kickboxing Unlimited is to the right of planet fitness. The gym has a good atmosphere very welcoming. I walked in and was signing the waiver and overheard a conversation between the coach and a new member. I found the conversation inspiring. The instructor knew what the new student was looking for and understood his goals on the first day. If you're looking to learn self-defense, wanting to get in shape or make new friends, you owe it to yourself to check out Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing Unlimited.
Posted 2 years agoGreat place to drop in for a class, offer options with top notch instruction every day. Just a positive energy and experience on and off the mat. Coach Devall has great things going on here!
Posted 5 months agoI am a new Jui-jitsu mother and I wasn't sure what to expect in the beginning. My husband and daughters love training here and they all have different attitudes and abilities. This was one of the reasons for my reservation, but the professor has got thru to each of them and is teaching them so much. Professor John is able to get to each one because he doesn't use a cookie cutter approach. He talks to everyone in a way to help them better themselves as an athlete and person. I really love how he takes time to focus on life skills (respect, listening, fitness, compassion, self defense, continuing education, and so much more) and not just the martial art. I would recommend Jiu-Jitsu Unlimited to anyone looking for self-defense, fitness, a martial art or helping a child grow and mature outside of the home. I can't thank John and the family here, enough for everything they have done for our family.
