Agoge Martial Arts

A True Home for Jiu-Jitsu ​I am finally getting this review posted after fixing my Google account, and I’m honored to officially share why Agoge is my home gym. My son and I have been training here for 4.5 years, and it has been a cornerstone of our lives. ​As a Gracie Humaitá affiliate, the technical standards are incredibly high. The owner and lead instructor, Rob (Black Belt), along with Daren (Black Belt), Robert (Black Belt), and Tom (Brown Belt), provide a high level of instruction and attention to detail. They offer a perfect, healthy blend of practical self-defense and sport Jiu-Jitsu. ​What truly sets Agoge apart is the community. While the training is high-level, the environment is incredibly welcoming, kind and safe. I especially want to note that the more experienced grapplers are highly technical and exceptionally helpful, always willing to guide new members through the learning process. ​This gym has been a multi-generational blessing for my family: ​For me: It allowed me to reinvent myself at an older age, providing a fun and safe space to grow. ​For my son: He started at age 8 and is now occasionally joining adult classes; the confidence he’s gained here has crossed over into every other aspect of his life. ​For my granddaughter: She has now started her own journey here and is already having fun! ​I travel and visit other gyms occasionally, and while there are many good ones out there, none feel like home quite like Agoge. Whether you are a parent, a child, or an older adult looking to start something new, this is the place to be.

Wonderful academy with wonderful people a place I recommend for all people new or experienced alike if you’re going to train, train the Gracie way!

I started here four years ago and since day one have felt welcomed and taken care of! This is a great place to train full of great people who care about your progress and keeping you safe! Great instruction from great instructors and could not be happier with choosing this gym. The kids classes and adult classes are both amazing!

I highly recommend Brazilian Martial Arts, Agoge Martial Arts, in Papillion. My two teenage girls are learning Jiu Jitsu under the guidance of Sensei Rob Luhrs. He holds a 2nd degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, a Brown Belt in Kajukembo, and a Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. His patience, kindness, and guidance with the kids is jaw dropping. He has a team of highly skilled staff there with a smaller class ratio to ensure the students are learning each skill that is targeted. Mostly importantly, my girls are building their self-confidence, eager to participate, and motivated by instruction. I can’t wait to see the outcome over time.

Started here in May 2024 and I’ve been enjoying it since! Great instructors and a very welcoming class. A great place to learn at any level.
