What is Gracie Jiu-Jitsu®?
Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting as self-defense. Jiu-Jitsu has recently become more popular and is noted to be one of the fastest growing MMA sports in the United States. The concept of jiu-jitsu is that smaller people who are not as strong can defend themselves against a larger more stronger opponent. Smaller people can defend themselves through leveraging a variety of submission holds, joint locks, and chokeholds. The main focus at KiCK Martial Arts is increasing strength and agility, all the while building confidence and getting in shape.
Learning Jiu-Jitsu at KiCK will benefit you immensely. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu helps build mental toughness, teaches the value of hard work, and gives you the persistence you need in everyday life. Many members at KiCK Martial Arts Kansas City have said that Jiu-Jitsu is also a great stress-relief from work or home-life because it helps take their mind off problems they are facing so they can focus all their strength and thoughts into grappling on the mats.

TESTIMONIALS

  "We love KiCK Martial Arts! Love how kind and patient all of the teachers are in their interaction with students. And love the emphasis of character words during class."

​- Stephanie Park

We love how KiCK teaches from the Christian perspective and incorporates character building into every class. Thank you for being a positive influence to our little ones, even when they don't even know it! Being new, we appreciate the 'themed week' helping the kids focus on one attribute for the week. Personally, I am amazed and grateful for your commitment and energy!! God has you in the most perfect place ~ and we are enjoying the fruits of your labor! Thank you!

“Mrs. Holgerson is a very driven teacher but yet still inspires her students to do their very best. She is very patient with her students and makes learning interesting and fun. Completely relates to her students.”  

​- Jan Schmitz

“I have two children, both boys, whom have been under the instruction of Tiffany Holgerson for over 2 years. In this time, my boys have learned respect, compassion, and most importantly self defense. Tiffany's ability to teach and expect respect from her students is an example of wisdom far beyond her years. All the while, she is sharing her loving spirit to keep karate fun and enjoyable for all ages. Finally, the methods of her teaching are agile enough to resonate with her students at any age. She can teach a 3 year the exact same defense mechanism as a 13 year old with them both understanding and grasping the concept. She is a very talented and bright teacher, and we are proud to call her our instructor.”

​“I knew Mr. Holgerson when he taught my son Erick Tae Kwon Do. He is great with kids and takes his time to teach them each step until they get it. He has an awesome charisma with the kids and with adults too. It was a great pleasure for my son to be part of his class. Thank you.”
