Ignite Jiu Jitsu and MMA Academy Facebook five star review - Breeane S.

We had tried Tae Kwon Do and wrestling with little buy in from our boys (9&6). After an incident at school where our son was injured by another student, we were determined to find a class to provide some self defense instruction, we found that and much more. - Both boys love going and have increased confidence. - They are learning striking, defense, take downs and submission techniques that I feel confident will allow them to protect themselves. - The coaches work to get to know the kids and create a positive learning environment to allow for real progress. - Their dad takes jujitsu while the boys do class. - I take advantage of Glory Fit while everyone else is occupied. I typically burn 350-400 calories in 45 minutes! The environment is family friendly while still maintaining a professional feel.

I walked into Glory MMA over a year ago and my experience has been amazing. I started off just doing the GloryFit classes, they are amazing cardio classes taught by amazing coaches. Each coach has a different style so no two classes are ever the same. The coaches work with you to keep you up to speed but also challenge you every class. It’s a great atmosphere and definitely a great value.

I found Glory through a trainer at another gym in 2016. I had always wanted to learn some martial art, and MMA striking seemed like a great introduction. I joined and immediately found an awesome group of coaches and friends. This place is more than a gym, it’s a community. The coaches really care about helping people achieve all their goals (look for the black chalk board wall with all the goals on them), not just fitness goals. They are kind, but hold people accountable. And most importantly, the leadership team leads by example! Since joining, I have seen them invest and reinvest into their gym. They have expanded, invested in new equipment, new mats, and have created a clean and comfortable and welcoming environment. There are a lot real fighters that train at Glory every day, but everyone has a place here. If you are interested in simply burning calories and getting more fit, give their GloryFit class a try. If you want to learn boxing/kickboxing, they have put together a an excellent striking program. I went from barely being able to throw a punch to feeling comfortable live sparring with others within a year. If you are more interested in grappling, their Brizalian Jiu Jitsu program is top notch, being led by some best black and brown belt coaches around. You won’t find a better group of men and women to train with either! These people push themselves and the people around them to be better than they thought possible! 10/10 would recommend checking Glory MMA and Fitness out if you have any interest at all! I promise, it will exceed your expectations...it did mine at least!

Awesome awesome first experience with the place. People were cool, nice and open, very laid back but still professional and organized. I will be taking classes for sure. Very cool experience to say the least! I’m addicted!

I can’t recommend Glory MMA enough. After trying multiple gyms in Kansas City I found my home at Glory. The level of instruction is first class from BJJ and MMA to the fitness programs. Also I can’t say enough about the staff, their desire to see their students improve is amazing. Once you walk in to the building and are met with the energy of Brian Harris you know it will be a gym for you.

The best gym around for most anyone’s schedule. Always clean equipment and great staff. Whether you’re looking for a good work out, new hobby, or just want to try something new it’s an awesome place to train.

At my first Brazilian jujitsu class, I was welcomed and treated as one of their own. 
Coach Josh is amazing. He’s very knowledgeable, patient and is not afraid to break things down step-by-step as many times as it takes for you to get it right. 
I will definitely be coming back.

If you train BJJ, and are in Kansas City, do yourself a favor and go get a class here. The hospitality was incredible and the training fierce. I'm incredibly thankful I dropped in. High-quality instruction by true professionals from the pinnacle of the MMA world. Don't be surprised to see pros in class from the UFC, Bellator, Invicta, etc. I highly recommend it. Get some. Oss!

Very grateful that I found this place and finally made myself walk through the door and sign up. Zak, the staff, and the good people that train here made me feel welcome right away. Highly experienced staff that are truly dedicated to helping people of all skill levels improve.

Hands down one of the best experiences I could have had. Everyone was very welcoming to me as a rookie and worked with me to get the job done. Everyone was super upbeat and it was some great training. I'll be back no doubt.

AWESOME instructors!!! A great way to get into shape no matter what your fitness level is. Everyone is nice and the gym has a very friendly and family-style atmosphere. This is a family gym that has kids BJJ and MMA classes as well as classes for adult including Muay Thai and a killer cardio kicking boxing class. I've tried the Title Power Hour and it holds nothing to the GloryFit 45 mins cardio kickboxing classes. The intensity level is what you make it. If you want to train and compete as an amateur or pro fighter, self-defense, or just to get fit or stay fit they have you covered. It is definitely a much more enjoyable way to get into shape then hitting the good ol treadmill. Even better yet you get to train and be instructed by actual fighters, I mean who can say they train with UFC fighters like Zak Cummings and The James Krause right?

Brought my 4-year-old Peyton in to try it out and see how he liked it. Didn't take long for him to look forward to classes and he raves about coach d and his MMA class to everyone who will listen.

Highly recommend, keep it up, guys!

Great gym! Great team! Great coaches! I come up to crosstrain and everything is just top notch. Everyone helps to clean the mats and that’s rare. Clean facility and a great staff! Couldn’t ask for more!

Just getting back into it after a little over five years. Definitely, a great place to go and train. I'm going places with these guys and can't wait to meet Zak! Great coaches and excellent no judgment atmosphere! Found a great second home!

My 7-year-old son has participated in Glory MMA & BJJ classes for over 3 years. He has learned so many things...Valuable lessons that he applies both inside & outside of the gym. The Glory team has laid a strong foundation for him and he has become a much more coachable kid. He looks up to all of his coaches. They are like family to him!
