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 contemplated joining a Dojo and learning some form of martial arts for many years. I did so much…read moreresearch and came to the conclusion that most were exactly the same and I was not looking for ordinary. Enter Kenukan and their storied history. I decided to send the email and Sensei Travis decided to reply near immediately and ask if I wanted to come in a do a demo class and see how I like everything. I took the information and signed up a week later. After going through the 8 basic classes, I was presented with a choice of a monthly membership or a one time payment to go after a green, brown, or black belt. It was a tough decision because I knew it was a long term commitment but also knew I wanted this to be something I commit to and learn to the best of my ability. Hindsight, this has been one of the best decisions I have made and every class I go to proves just how special this place is. Not only are Travis and the other members some of the best people to learn from, but they teach techniques that one may not find at a cookie cutter martial arts place. This place is the real deal and I encourage anyone thinking of their new place to learn how to defend themselves, give Kenukan a look. This is truly one of the most unique places and I have learned so much even just within 1 year of going.

This is the most thorough, well-rounded, and extensive Martial Arts program in the KC metro area…read more You'll learn Muy Thai, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Self-Defense, and Bushidokan, but unlike many MMA programs, you won't miss out on the foundational traditions and customs these styles are built upon. Sensei Travis Boggs is the most technically and tactically proficient instructor I've had the pleasure of studying under. I can say with no uncertainty you will not find a better program.

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!

Good work outs and a friendly atmosphere. Muay Thai classes come in two flavors: fitness which is…read moremainly bag work and technical which is pads and all the other good stuff.
