Kaiju Kickboxing and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts, BJJ, Muay Thai, and Boxing)

At Kaiju Kickboxing and MMA in Kirkland, students find a schedule packed with practical training options that reflect the gym’s roots in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and striking arts. The mat culture is defined by a steady rotation of fundamentals, all-level, and advanced classes in both gi and no-gi BJJ, with open mats and live training sessions regularly available for extra rounds or technical work. Striking is equally emphasized, with dedicated classes in Muay Thai, boxing, and kickboxing—each offered at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Wrestling and MMA-specific training sessions round out the weekly schedule, giving athletes a chance to blend grappling and striking in a controlled, challenging environment. The academy’s approach to instruction is hands-on and progression-based. Beginners in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu start with clearly marked fundamentals classes, while advanced students can push themselves in higher-level sessions or sparring. Instructors break down techniques step by step, emphasizing practical application and skill development. For those looking to compete or deepen their training, fighters’ training sessions and MMA classes provide a focused setting to refine tactics and conditioning. Youth programs at Kaiju are designed to introduce kids to martial arts through age-specific classes in both hybrid kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Children as young as three can start in the youngest BJJ group, with additional classes for ages 6-8 and 8-12. The academy also offers a women’s-only Muay Thai class, encouraging participation from all backgrounds. Drop-ins are welcome, and the facility is wheelchair accessible, making it possible for a wide range of students to get on the mats and learn in a structured, supportive setting.
