Here’s your chance to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from the first and only Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts in Newton,Ks and all of Harvey County! Professor Chris and Professor Brad have such a passion for teaching kids and adults. They don’t just sit on the sidelines and give instructions. They demonstrate their extended knowledge with detailed instruction as well continue to train and grapple with everyone. They never ask anything from anyone that they haven’t done already or wouldn’t do themselves. These professors have no ego and earned their black belts with years of sweat, seminars, competitions and hard training. There is never any pressure to compete and the environment is always positive. Don’t wait! Get in and train!!

This place is the best place to be in Newton. The instructors are deeply knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. This is the fourth gym I've been to, and the only one that didn't have me sign a long contract and charge an enormous fee. They're in it to teach, not to exploit. I highly recommend anyone to come in and learn that there is much more to jiujitsu than simply learning how to fight.

Was in town and visited the academy. Chris and Brad made me feel right at home! They welcomed me with no judgement regardless of experience and worked with me one on one on certain techniques! I felt welcome immediately. They were patient, humble, courteous and everything you’d want in a professor and mentor. I hope I can visit again soon and learn from these two. Very knowledgeable and experienced! 11/10!

Brad and Chris have been great teachers for our kids. Both of them have had a lot of patience and dedication to helping our kids grow in Jiu Jitsu skills, as well as helping them build confidence and resilience. Chaotic Jiu Jitsu feels as much like a family as a school.
