In our Fundamentals of Jiu-Jitsu course we use the teaching methods based on the "games" that have been used for generations in the Gracie family to teach the foundations of movement and body control. In this 20 week course you and your 4-6 year old child will learn basic self-defense techniques that are based on leverage and control in a fun and safe environment.
At Kroyler Gracie Jiu-Jitsu our mission is to provide the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to our students, to help them achieve any and all goals they may have be it competitive or simply as a form of self-defense. We believe that through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu we can give our students the ability to know that they are capable of anything.
In the Gracie Family, children are taught Jiu-Jitsu from a very early age. At Kroyler Gracie Jiu-Jitsu we have continued this tradition and we're proud to offer a program that is catered to young students. From the very beginning, your child will learn age-appropriate verbal and physical techniques to help them avoid, survive, and win a physical altercation against a bigger, stronger opponent.

I had a great experience with my first class at Kroyler Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Everyone was nice and very helpful with explaining concepts and techniques since it was my first ever experience with jiu jitsu. Kroyler himself was very kind in answering any questions that I had. Overall, I would definitely recommend Kroyler Gracie Jiu Jitsu if you are looking to get into the martial art as a sport, a hobby, for fun, or just want another way to train.

If fear of intimidation or inexperience is keeping your from trying Jiu-Jitsu, get yourself to Kroyler Gracie's gym and sign up for a trial. Kroyler, his team, and even the other students are incredibly warm and welcoming and so are the other students. I was surprised at how inclusive and supportive the group is too, even with a first timer, and you can tell that over time many of the students have become friends outside the gym as well. This is a special place ... one visit and you'll understand. Highly recommended!

Awesome place to train! I was visiting from Kentucky and they welcomed me with open arms. 3-4 people introduced themselves right off the bat. The instructor was knowledgeable, precise and helped me “feel” the technique in live rolling with him! Great experience! Will be back every time I’m in town!

I just started BJJ 4 months ago, and was visiting some family in Elkhart during a break from College. I reached out to KGJJ and was immediately welcomed to classes for the week. Kroyler and the higher-belts all welcomed me with smiles and helpful tips. Coming from a smaller gym, getting a variety of viewpoints was exactly what I hoped for and it exceeded expectations!
The facility is nice and well maintained. Keep it up!

If you live within a 100 mile radius of this gym, you should be here. Kroyler has an excellent teaching style that allows you to improve rapidly. He breaks down each movement slowly and methodically and will give you individual attention if needed. The gym culture is great as well. Everyone is very welcoming and always willing to help.
