Flatland Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Flatland Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Goodland, Kansas, operates under the guidance of instructors who trace their lineage to Andre “Tim” Monteiro, a black belt with over two decades of experience and multiple IBJJF titles. Monteiro founded A-Force BJJ, a network of affiliated gyms spanning the U.S., Europe, and Mexico. This connection shapes Flatland’s approach, blending traditional gi training with a focus on safe, effective technique informed by Monteiro’s background in physical therapy and osteopathy. Classes at Flatland BJJ follow a structured progression for adults and children, with beginner-friendly sessions offered multiple times each week. Kids as young as four are introduced to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in classes designed to channel their energy constructively while developing coordination and mental focus. Adult classes cover all levels, emphasizing fundamentals and steady advancement within the gi. Open mat sessions provide additional training time for all students to drill and spar freely. In addition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Flatland offers MMA instruction on Sundays, led by Ricky Musgrave, a local professional fighter with over 15 years of experience. This class integrates striking and grappling techniques from multiple martial arts, catering to those interested in competition or practical self-defense. The facility is wheelchair accessible and supports a training environment that encourages consistent practice across its varied programs.
