Wild West Jiu Jitsu

Wild West Jiu Jitsu in Carson City is led by head coach Kurt Brooks, a martial artist with more than two decades of experience across Muay Thai, MMA, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Kurt’s background includes time spent training at Wanderlei Silva’s Wand Fight Team in Las Vegas, sharpening his Muay Thai in Thailand at Jitmoungnon and AKA Phuket, and coaching at Tristar MMA Australia. He holds a black belt and currently serves as a professor under the Alliance Jiu-Jitsu banner, bringing a technical and practical approach to the mats. Since opening its doors in 2017, Wild West has focused on practical self-defense and structured progression. The adult BJJ program is open to students ages 15 and up. New students begin with a required intro class on Wednesday evenings, designed to teach foundational positions, transitions, and submissions, while also helping coaches evaluate each student’s starting point. Those with at least six months of consistent BJJ experience can skip the intro and drop directly into regular classes after speaking with a coach. The curriculum emphasizes steady progress, personal feedback, and accountability, with sparring introduced only once students demonstrate control and readiness. The academy is wheelchair accessible and welcomes visitors and serious drop-ins. Students begin with a free intro and can continue through a four-week trial period before joining the full program. The training environment is high-energy and straightforward, focusing on real technique and practical skills for self-defense and fitness. Wild West also offers adult Muay Thai and kids’ martial arts, serving Carson City and the surrounding communities.
