Recently changed owners, and changed names to Chute Boxe KC, this place drew me in because they…read moreoffered both solid Jiu Jitsu training and a mix of fitness and technical boxing classes. The place is legit. If you train here, you will come away with skills and knowledge that you can use for matches, tournaments, or just to wrestle your kids away from the TV remote. In my quest to continue to improve my own health, I needed a place where I could continue to regain my knowledge in boxing and to increase my knowledge of Jiu Jitsu. I wanted a single roof to work out with back to back classes, and looked all over before finding this place almost by accident. It's a bit of a drive for me, but well worth it on the weeks that I am not traveling out of state. I train in a similar place in New York and before that in Chapel Hill, NC. Before I found Chute Boxe, I simply didn't know of any good cross discipline places to train in the KC area. Chute Boxe is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but it is not your typical Gracie academy. You can do some research into the history of the two. In the short time that I have been training in Jiu Jitsu, I have had the pleasure of training in several different formats. These Chute Boxe classes focus on technique that seriously improves my understanding of what to do when I'm stuck. Each class also goes right into rolling, which is where you will kill those carbs and hopefully solidify your knowledge. The fitness and the technical boxing classes are done with bags. I have not seen any sparing yet, but that is perfectly fine with me. My arms are past dead after every class, which is my goal. I don't want to have gas in the tank when I leave! The kids classes look both fun and like serious work. I have a two year old that will fit that energy nicely, and I can't wait until she is ready to hit the mat! There are fundamentals classes and also Muay Thai classes, but I have not taken those. I assume they are as high quality as the classes later in the evening. I have so far to go before I am in any kind of good shape, and the 2 and a half hours I spend here is exactly what I need to completely remind me of just how far that really is!

You can do both with the Muay Thai membership. I like that I can pick if I feel like working on technique or just hitting the bags for an hour. Either way you'll get a intense workout. Trainers are great!

In my short time at Aikijuku Dojo, my strength, perception, and flexibility have greatly increased.

My 6 month experience with their community and practicioners could not have been more positive.

We are blown away by Elite Martial Arts in Olathe! We initially signed up for the 6-week trial and…read moreI didn't have any intention of staying with it after that, but two years later we're still here! The kids love it, the staff is amazing and the instructors are incredible! Everyone is positive and encouraging and my kids learn so much more than just self defense. They learn how to respect others, how to work toward achieving a goal, how to cope with a loss, and how to cheer on others when they are getting to do something they may have wanted to do themselves. I love the confidence and skills it gives them! I can't say enough positive things about the instructors and staff at Elite. They make it a very special place to be. If you are looking for an activity for yourself or your child I would highly recommend taekwondo at Elite Martial Arts!

I've attended this gym since a child and have gained so much from the experience. They teach you discipline, respect, self defense that are invaluable to a young child while allowing them to release their energy in a safe way. They also have family classes where the whole family can train together and have fun, which is really rare to find these days. Both masters have a huge list of achievements when it comes to taekwondo and i wouldn't want to learn it from anyone else. With COVID, they have been taking numerous safety precautions by keeping classes small and sanitizing the floor constantly. I highly recommend this location for anyone considering taekwondo if they truly want to learn the true art of it and have fun!

She also now has better balance and overall strength. I feel like the prices here are fair in regards to what some other places were charging. Some of the other classes we originally checked out the owners had a very hands off approach (where other people taught most all of the classes) but you will NOT find that here. Master Justin is in here day in and day out with these kids on the floor and knows them personally, that was a deciding factor and why we have stayed. They have lots of classes at many different time and whole families even go together. On a practical note: it's very centrally located, moms can run to Target and Costco while you kiddos train. I highly recommend it.

This site teaches Chen style Tai Chi with a variety of course offerings focused on different skill levels. They also regularly hold workshops to focus on aspects of Tai Chi not normally covered during the regular classes. Gary is a master in Chen style Tai Chi based on the teachings of Chen Zhenglei, a 19th generation descendant of the Chen family that developed this style. He is very good at focusing on what students need and is able to break things down in a way that makes sense to beginners. He is also familiar in other martial arts disciplines and is able to use that knowledge to enhance his teaching of Tai Chi. He and his family provide a very warm and friendly atmosphere to train in that makes novices like me very comfortable and keeps me coming back. I always look forward to my Tai Chi classes here. If you're interested in learning Tai Chi this is the place for you.

This gym is more interested in selling classes in addition to the membership. You don't have to…read morejoin the classes, but the problem is when the classes take up all the usable space and members are left with little to none. For example, youth swim lessons and water aerobics take up the entire pool area on Saturdays, making it impossible if you would like to swim laps. "Alpha" fitness classes have two areas that take up a significant portion of the upstairs gym, and they run classes constantly. On top of all this, the equipment that is left for members to use (i.e. benches and machines) are old and falling apart. I personally had a pin slip from an adjustable bench when I had it set to incline for bench press. I fell back with it and chipped my tooth. For the money you pay and for the money they add for extra classes and "events", they should really have better stuff for the general membership. It presents as though little regard is given to the overall members.

I expected discretion and proper follow-up. After reporting, I became aware of information that made me question whether confidentiality was maintained. Management attempted to discuss my complaint in public areas in front of another client rather than privately. I was passed between multiple local and corporate staff members with no clear point of contact or consistent updates. I paused my membership on December 24, 2025 and requested cancellation on February 4, 2026. After no response, I submitted a second request and ultimately canceled on February 10. Between my pause on 12/24 and my request on 2/4, I received no follow up. Between my request on 2/4 and cancellation on 2/10, a front desk employee who was unaware of the situation called to encourage me to return. I attempted to schedule an in-person discussion multiple times, but my request was not addressed. This experience caused ongoing stress and has led me to doubt Life Time's care for their members. Bottom line: Don't trust that you're valued as a member or that your voice matters.
