Kalamazoo BJJ

About

Kalamazoo's home for Carlson Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Located in Valor Martial Arts and Fitness.

Description

Ben Lindhout, with help of many of his students, established Kalamazoo BJJ in May 2016. His mission was to offer Carlson Gracie style Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the Kalamazoo area. Kalamazoo BJJ is located inside Valor Martial Arts & Fitness, and is equipped with world class Zebra mats to provide an elite training experience.

Coach Lindhout is a brown belt under Carlson Gracie 3rd degree black belt Professor Clint Crabtree of Grand Rapids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Professor Crabtree’s philosophy “Nothing Given; Only Earned” is also the standard of excellence for Kalamazoo BJJ, where students earn their promotions through their hard work and dedication.

All are welcome to join our community, whether it is to compete, improve fitness levels, get in shape, make friends, or simply to learn effective self-defense. Kalamazoo BJJ and its students have something to offer everyone.

Ben is very knowledgeable and everyone at the gym was welcoming. They make you feel like part of the team the minute you walk in. There was a good mix of talent and experience. Highly recommend checking it out if you are in Kalamazoo area.
Have been training here for 1 year now and love it, had no prior experience and I felt really welcomed immediately. You are allowed to roll spar from the very beginning if you want which I think speeds up your learning process. Ben, Ivan, and Jake are great teachers
I’m a newbie to the area, and was unenthused with finding another place to train BUT…my apprehension was put to rest with Kalamazoo BJJ. Ben has a way of breaking down moves and concepts so that anyone from the complete beginner to advanced student can understand and implement. To top it off, his infectious energy while instructing creates a comfortable and engaging learning environment. The other instructors I’ve been fortunate enough to train with here are also incredibly clear, detailed, easy to follow and take the time to work with you on individual moves you may find challenging. There is already a phenomenal group of people training here, with different experience levels, genders, ages and body sizes. If you have the chance to drop in, you should!!
A fantastic place to train. Ben is an incredible instructor and really makes the class for everyone. If you’re thinking about it, come, I promise at a minimum you will meet some fantastic new friends.
Ben is a fantastic instructor! I've been a Martial Artist 14 years. He knows his stuff, competes Internationally, & is amazing at breaking down complicated technique for the newest Martial Artist. Happy to have found a place to train as a new person to Kalamazoo !
I have been training BJJ under Professor Ben for almost 6 years. He is hands down the best instructor in the area, and we have a large extended community in Grand Rapids as well as ability to train at all Carlson Gracie affiliated gyms in the world. BJJ changed my life, it took me from an out of shape self conscious person and has given me confidence, so many friends, and self defense that actually works on bigger and stronger opponents. If you haven't tried BJJ you should give it a shot. It's scary to try new things, but I promise this gym will make you feel welcome and immediately part of the team. Come check it out! :
Instructor is highly skilled, knowledgeable, and makes class a blast everytime you go. The community is very warm and welcoming as well. I would give above 5 stars if possible, best school in the area!
You’d learn from the top rated instructor in kzoo Professor Ben Lindhout who just recently acquired his black belt. Great lineage stemming from Carlson Gracie jr. Great people, great atmosphere for new people, yet lots of knowledge and talent. I’d highly recommend for anyone who is interested or for anyone passing by.
