Assassin Grappling Academy

Assassin Grappling Academy is a veteran owned martial arts gym in East Las Vegas, with a second site in North Las Vegas, that teaches jiu-jitsu, kickboxing and wrestling to kids from age 3 and up, plus adults.

At AGA East on North Nellis Boulevard, kids jiu-jitsu meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday: the Lil-Assassins class for ages 3 to 7 at 4:30 PM, then the Youth class for ages 8 to 14 at 5:30 PM. East also runs Viper Wrestling for ages 8 to 14. At AGA North on West Carey Avenue, the Lil-Youth classes for ages 3 to 14 start at 4:00 PM and 4:30 PM, and the wrestling group for ages 3 to 18 meets Fridays at 4:00 PM and Saturdays and Sundays at 3:00 PM.

The founder, Professor Jesse, spent over 22 years in the US Army and Navy, is a former All-Army Combatives Champion and a former professional fighter, and earned his black belt in 2019. The gym says it puts weight on youth character, with discipline, integrity, respect, loyalty and responsibility as its core values.

The first class is free, so a child can try a session before you commit. Ask about monthly rates when you call (702) 604-9647. Weekday front desk hours run 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
