From the reviews
By far the best gym for MMA and BJJ in the KC area. Top tier setup, insanely clean and set up with families in mind. They even have a toy corner designated for younger siblings attending practices - if you’ve ever attended a practice with a younger sibling(s) in tote, you know what a luxury this is!
For anyone looking for a beautiful, well run gym for all levels of MMA, this is the place to be! Coach Miles and his wife Hannah will make you feel so welcome, regardless of your skill level. The gym is beautiful, spacious, and has everything you need. It is so family friendly, too! Can’t recommend it enough!

New to BJJ? Start at Kingdom MMA & BJJ
Kingdom MMA & BJJ comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Kingdom MMA & BJJ
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
