Master Pruter is professional, patient with the children and is most certainly very knowledgeable of Tae Kwon Do. The class my daughter takes meets Mon/Wed, but one thing that I have really appreciated is the flexibility about the schedule. If we have another conflict, Master Pruter invites her to come basically any other evening. They have other facilities on the Missouri side, but this location is more convenient for us. The prices are fair and a uniform is even included when you initially sign up. My daughter has gotten so much out of this.....it's been a very nice, unexpected surprise!

I made the mistake of signing another contract while my son attended summer camp and my son decided he didn't want to return after summer camp. Mr. Chu the owner would not honor this even though my son never attended any classes under the new contract, he persists to charge me monthly. But the worst part is that what I paid in cash when I paid in full, he is denying I EVER paid! And since I didn't get a receipt because I trusted him at this time, I have no proof. What an awful scam on his part. While my son did enjoy when he went here, how all this went down business wise is absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. I would never do any business with Paks Academy Liberty and I tell everyone I know the same thing

Brazilian Jujitsu is probably their most popular offering, but I spent the last year learning Muay Thai here and although I am not currently attending classes here, the experience was life changing! You will get the opportunity to take part in actual sparring, which are tons of fun and will give you loads of confidence in your daily life and in your ability to defend yourself in real life situations. Try a week of classes for free and see for yourself...Brazil Academy and its staff and instructors are outstanding!

I have trained in BJJ for 2 years, and in Karate/Kickboxing for 39 years. I have been to a lot of…read moreSchools and Dojos in many cities across the US. The Brazilian Academy has a very in depth Gi Jiu Jitsu program that has become invaluable to me as I develop in the sport. In the KC area, there are two places that I would recommend for BJJ training. I can't pick which one I like best, so I switch between them in rotation! If you are looking for solid BJJ training, then go here. My only complaint is that they do not advertise their programs and schedules well enough to promote everything that they teach! I would have found this place sooner if they did. Why BJJ? I am glad you asked, because now I get to ramble into how it has changed my life, and how I stumbled onto the Brazilian Academy. I got into BJJ two years ago because I stopped kickboxing and gained a ton of weight. I needed something I could do in my passion for martial arts that wouldn't give me CTE. I remembered how much hard work it was to earn a green belt in Judo back in the 1980s, so I found a school where I was working at the time that taught BJJ. I found that I had been missing this in my life! I was foolish to avoid the ground game until my 50s, but I chalk that up to the brainwashing of "stand and fight like a man" that old school Karate fighters pushed at you before the rise of UFC. I lost 75 pounds in the first year, and many of the "old guy" aches and pains have gone away. My flexibility is slowing returning, and every aspect of my life from chasing my grand kids around tunnels and trampolines to running through airports to catch a flight to hiking trails at altitude in Colorado has gotten easier and better! Since I started, I have been to 10 or 11 different BJJ schools around the country. I choose BJJ schools that also have a boxing program (for fitness and fun), but shy away from contact fighting. I collect knowledge, branded Gis (uniforms), and will likely never be promoted because I move jobs and change schools just before I might earn it. I continue to travel, and will continue to find a school in the next city I visit. However, when I am at home in the KC area, I want to train as hard as possible. I need a place with Boxing and BJJ, of course, and I found one that pushed the old school tenants that I am used to. Life was beautiful, util I ended up getting a serious illness that put me down for a while. To get back up, I looked for a fundamentals class that would be a little easier on my old body and new inhaler. I tried a few other places in town, and that is when I came across the Brazilian Academy. The class schedule is awesome with two morning BJJ classes starting at 6am, and 2 evening classes every day except Friday. I started with the morning class, because it was very small, and thus easier for me to recover. Since then, I take both morning and evening classes, then drive to the other school for their evening class. I seriously don't like either one better than the other, but the Brazilian Academy is the only one with a 6am and 7am class. I think training here is going to be an essential part of my competitive game (if an old rusty fellow like me can be competitive). I'd be in complete heaven if both the schools I love decided to move in next to each other... and further south closer to my house...
