Team VAVA Jiu Jitsu

Black belt David “Vava” Littlewood brings over 15 years of dedicated Jiu Jitsu training and teaching experience to Team VAVA. His approach goes beyond techniques on the mat. By combining high-level instruction, real-world application, and a deep understanding of athlete development, he has built a program designed to serve everyone from first-time students to world-class competitors.

At Team VAVA, you have everything you need to train at the highest level. Structured classes for kids, beginners, and advanced athletes. A supportive team culture that pushes you to grow. Access to strength and conditioning, mobility work, and recovery resources. And a training environment focused on long-term progress, not shortcuts.

Every detail at Team VAVA is intentional. From the coaching and curriculum to the space and community, it all exists for one purpose: to create the best place in Kansas City to train Jiu Jitsu and become stronger on and off the mats.
