This a wonderful gym with excellent instruction, people, and overall culture. I cannot recommend it highly enough. There is something for everyone with morning, noon, and night classes, Gi, No Gi, MMA, kids, women’s only - you get the point. Prof. Alex Martinez is top notch as well as the other instructors - Prof. Rusty, Bryan, and the Scotts. Come and check it out!

I am on vacation with family and wanted to squeeze in Jiu Jitsu, really glad I found Kraken. I went to the 6am class, which is a great way to start the day. Friendly and welcoming, good group of guys to roll with, and Coach Scott is a very clear instructor. Wish I was nearby to take the morning class all the time, but will definitely stop back in when we are back in town. Seems like a great place with good people. I am grateful they had me, and I would highly recommend this school.

I started training at Kraken 9 months ago. I had wanted to do jiu-jitsu for years but was hesitant due to worry about training with men and it not being strictly professional. My experience at Kraken has been amazing! The culture there is one of integrity and respect, and the instructors are all top notch. I started off with the goal of learning self-defense, but my goals are higher now. I feel like I've acquired skills that could actually be used in a real-world situation, and the confidence that's given me is an amazing feeling. My girls train there as well, and I can see a significant difference in their confidence and ability as well. They carry themselves differently. Proud to call this academy home!

I’ve been to a number of gyms and this academy has the best culture and community. Professors Alex and Rusty are extremely knowledgeable and very good at translating it in a way that’s easy to learn. They have a fantastic kids program as well. The gym itself is clean and they even have a nice shower and multiple bathrooms. The best thing you can do for yourself is come down and meet Alex and get started

I never make reviews but with how awesome this place is I felt like I had to give it a review. If you're considering stepping into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, let me assure you that Kraken BJJ is the place to be. When I walked into Kraken BJJ the owner warmly greeted me, taking the time to personally get to know me. I was very happy to sign up for the 7 day free membership since most places only allow you one class. When I joined the mat for stretching, I was met with many people introducing themselves trying to get to know me. Everyone was super nice which made it a very fun environment to be around. The classes are fast but everyone there is super nice where if you have a question they are more than happy to help. After my free membership was up the owner never pressured me once into getting the membership. But I couldn't be more happy to get one. You can tell the owner cares more about the members that go there then about the money. Also the value is unbeatable. The range of classes they provide, (GI BJJ, No GI BJJ, Striking MMA) which would cost a premium elsewhere (close to double), is included in the membership. I think this place is the best bang for your buck. I am looking always looking forward to practice. To learn new skills and make new friends. I am very fortunate I found this place.

If you are looking for a gym that is incredibly welcoming and feels like a family, look no further! Alex is a phenomenal coach and is able to break drill sessions down to where everyone understands. He is very inactive with all students and very knowledgeable. He is also great at coaching in competitions! Rusty offers great insight in the game as well and has been around the sport for a very long time. There is a really solid kids program, adult program, and they are offering deals to build a bigger women’s crew as well! We always feel safe and relaxed there. No big egos around the gym and great for all levels of skill. The team there is always welcoming to new people and accommodating to help the ‘new guys’ feel comfortable. I was able to continue training all the way up until I gave birth due to the trust and care of all the members at CCBJJ and I knew Alex was always watching out for my safety while having this ‘special need’ which was so very appreciated. Coming back after has also been great with the team being attentive to those special needs (this includes anyone with any kind of injuries!) CCBJJ is accommodating to familys so people can continue to train as much as possible. (women!!! Get in here… no excuses! This place is especially great for us!!!) Such a value for the skills, workouts, and friendships you are building here! We love CCBJJ and can’t imagine calling any other gym our ‘home’!

I was in KC from out of town and did a drop in here with a friend from work who is a member. Coach Alex was very friendly and welcoming which set the tone for the rest of the students in the class. The instruction was really good and the drilling and live rolling was a lot of fun. Definitely recommend.

Been training here for 7 months. Alex is a great instructor in the art and a quality guy on and off the mat. Always willing to help and answer questions. He's great with the kids classes and really helps break it down so they understand. This gym has a solid culture of folks dedicated to reaching their goals with the help of a great coach. Can not recommend this place enough!

Been coming in since day one, and could not be happier! Alex is a top-notch instructor who really strives to make his students better. I love training here, and is 100% the best Martial Arts academy in Cass County and the surrounding area!

I am a white belt with two stripes and I train two days a week at a gym on St. Louis, MO. I came to Kansas City for some work and to visit my girlfriend. I looked up a few gyms to train at for a couple days. Cass county was the first to answer their phone. The owner is friendly and just wants to roll to get better. He made the process of signing the waiver and showing up very simple. At no time did I feel uncomfortable or out of place. The competition was great and at no time did I feel like someone was trying to take my head off. The higher level belts at this gym are just like where I am from. They will make you better and give you pointers while you tap. I will come back and frequent this gym and you should too.

I can't say enough good stuff about this academy. I've never practiced Jiu-Jitsu before but I'm absolutely loving it here. There's a great mix of skill from beginner like me to, "that guy is pretty good", to "OMG that guy has serious skills". I haven't worked with Rusty yet but Alex is an outstanding instructor. Very patient, encouraging and he knows when to push you. This is the best month to month membership for anything I've ever been apart of. So thankful for CCBJJ here in Belton

Been going for about a month now and have already learned so much! Alex is a great instructor who shows techniques throughly, and will give step by step instructions if need be!

We did an intro orientation with Alex, and he was a great teacher! We had a lot of fun and even got to spar at the end. We left feeling like we learned something and wanting to do more Jui Jitsu!
