Bodyfit KC

Bodyfit KC in Kansas City is home to a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program led by instructors with a hands-on background in both grappling and striking. David Vava, who teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and kids’ martial arts, works alongside Corey Johnson and Faith Howard, each bringing experience from different areas of martial arts and fitness. The team’s mix of BJJ, strength training, and striking shapes the way students learn and train, with an emphasis on practical technique and cross-training. The BJJ schedule at Bodyfit covers a full range of classes throughout the week. Adult students can start with fundamentals in both gi and no-gi, move into live training sessions, and progress to advanced technique and competition practice. There are open mats and specific classes for live situations, as well as dedicated time for no-gi training several times a week. For younger students, there are kids’ and teens’ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, including sessions focused on technique and competition prep. Beyond BJJ, Bodyfit offers a wider martial arts and fitness program, including kickboxing, strength and conditioning, Olympic weightlifting, and strongman training. The gym’s approach encourages students to build athleticism alongside their grappling skills. Drop-ins are welcome, and the variety in the schedule makes it accessible for people looking to train at different times of day. The focus remains on practical, hard training guided by coaches who are on the mats every week.
