Reach Your Full Potential
Train with purpose, not just intensity. A real-world goal behind your workouts helps you stay consistent, push harder, and unlock your full potential.
Finding a fitness routine you can enjoy should not be a difficult task
Most adults know the cycle well: excitement at the start of a new workout routine, followed by boredom or burnout as time goes on. Since its introduction to the United States in the 1980s, Jiu Jitsu has broken that pattern, developing a vibrant culture that keeps people challenged, connected, and committed.

I began my martial arts journey in Lincoln, Nebraska, and saw how the right training environment can build a child’s confidence, discipline, and character. For more than 35 years, I’ve been proud to bring that same commitment to families in our community—creating a safe, structured, and supportive place where children grow stronger on and off the mat.
After beginning my martial arts journey in Lincoln, Nebraska, I saw firsthand how the right training environment can positively shape a child’s confidence, discipline, and character. For more than 35 years, we’ve brought that same commitment to families in our community by helping students grow both on and off the mat. Our focus is on creating a safe, supportive, and structured environment where children learn practical self-defense, improve their fitness, and build confidence they can carry into school, home, and everyday life. At Kassebaum’s Martial Arts, our goal is not just to teach martial arts but to help every child develop the skills, mindset, and confidence to succeed.
