Having moved from CA and not knowing anything about Overland Park, all I knew was I wanted to get…read moreback into shape. So I looked up the closest gym with the best schedule for me. I started at E3 August 2022 with the intent to just do personal strength training for the accountability. But out of pure curiosity about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), I signed up for an athletes challenge that included both strength training and once a week private BJJ lessons. The athletes challenge got me down over 15 pounds which I have kept off to this day. More importantly I gained more confidence and a sense of control over my body again. It surprised me how much I began enjoying the challenges of jiu jitsu and decided at the start of 2023 to commit to coming almost everyday to do both gi and Nogi classes. (Both those terms, amongst many others will start making sense when you start training). I started with the small group essentials BJJ foundation class, which helped build my confidence to do the regular classes. My concerns with starting a very physical sport in my 30s and coming from no previous martial arts experience quickly went away after adjusting over the course of a couple weeks. Everyone here at E3, from the techniques learned from my coaches to those I had the opportunity to roll with, all prepared me to compete in my first BJJ competition in May this year. The opportunity to train with top athletes from Brazil, to meet and grow with other members of the gym, and to really be part of a community that empowers individuals to feel more in tune with their body - I feel fortunate to have come across this gym. With the support of everyone at E3, you get a chance to see what you can be capable of. I truly cannot recommend it enough for anyone to try BJJ, especially with everyone here. I think the change you will see in yourself both physically and mentally will speak for itself. See you on the mats!

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!

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.
