Kilian Academy

Abrie Kilian Probably 1 of the best. I've had the honor of getting a few lessons from him,when he was still in South Africa. Humble and friendly. With powerfull teaching

If it were possible I would give Kilian Academy a 6/5 stars. I was in town for the summer and wanted to keep training when possible and it was one of the most accepting environments I've ever been apart of. It is hard to describe what makes their establishment so special because there are so many good things. Their facilities are beautiful, clean and host one of the largest if not the largest mats in the area, they have full changerooms, weights ,cardio and crossfit equipment. The group of people I met and trained with here I will always hold in high regard. They are some of the most kind and fun people I have trained with (off the matts, this isn't cake baking class after all).I would be doing a disservice if I didn't mention that I was only there for a little while and they pulled me aside and asked what i wanted to work on and develop a game plan for me. That is above and beyond what I expected given that I was only going to be there for a short time. They challenged me to improve on my game and I will forever hear in the back of my mind you are being to nice Sean" and "put an exclamation point on it" while I continue my Jiu--Jitsu journey. If I ever move back to the area I will be returning to train with them 100%. I miss them already. "Thank you for teaching me more about myself" -ABRIE KILIAN"

I’ve been taking kickboxing classes at Kilian Academy for a little over a month and my experience has been outstandingly positive with a supportive and inclusive environment and an awesome coach at the head of it. I would recommend it to anyone looking to take up a martial art!

Kilian Academy is a great, positive place for kids and adults to be each week. Both my children are in the Jiu-Jitsu classes and they love them. The instructor encourages self-control, self-respect, respect for others and so much more. The Zumba and ZumbaStrong classes are great as well! Kilian’s has highly skilled instructors who motivate us to do our best… fantastic! Thank you for moving to Shallow Lake :)

More than just BJJ, Kilian Academy offers a great community experience as well. I highly recommend checking them out!

The academy is an incredibly inviting and supportive community to be a part of. We have seen such a positive growth in our child, in their confidence, maturity, and ability. Strongly recommend to join and begin your journey

Kilian academy is fantastic! Abrie is an amazing coach. The academy and its students train hard. Ranking higher and higher at each tournament. The environment of being around everyone is friendly and encouraging. They are willing to learn and teach others. We've watched two blue belt demos so far this fall which have been great demonstrations of the talent that is at this academy and what can be taught. As a spectator everyone is willing to answer any questions. We have many friends who attend jiu-jitsu classes regularly and some that are going to start soon. There isn't alot in this area, so if you're looking this is the place to go! It's clean, welcoming and exactly the place you want to be.There is also kick boxing classes and zumba classes!
