I'm on a healing journey after losing my 21 year old daughter last year. Roller skating was becoming our thing and I've continued pushing forward with it every since then. I first saw Sk8 Shot Studios on Instagram & YouTube and tried the Beginner/ Intermediate fundamental videos which helped me get thru a plateau with doing pivot turns. I then decided to take a trip to Kansas City for a skate lesson and glad I did. KJ and Adontis are attentive instructors who watch and help to correct in real time. The studio is spacious enough for the class size and drills. I really liked how they incorporate a stretch warm-up into the lesson and then build up the drills to a quick routine. I left with a new drill to work into my routine. I'm taking lessons locally but will return at some point in the near future to continue growing my skate abilities. All the best to Sk8 Shot Stuidios.

KC is so lucky to have an adult skate school! I’ve been skating with KJ and Adontis since March and have loved every minute of it. The studio is very warm and welcoming. I started in the Fundamentals class and have graduated to Intermediate. They are amazing teachers and meet every student where they are, whether brand new or have been skating for years. If you need extra attention or are feeling very nervous, they are with you. The other people in the class are on their own skate journey and willing to share tips and tricks too. All in all, this is a fantastic school and I can’t wait to keep going! Less

I just started roller skating almost 3 months ago and absolutely love it !! When I was a teenager my only goal was to stay off the floor. Now as an adult I’m learning the actual fundamentals of skating, a lot more than what I imagined. KJ, Adontis and Haley are so good at their craft it’s insane. They make it look so easy. Each instructor has their own way of teaching, you will learn from all three. They’re patient, informative and all have a great vibe. It’s a joy coming to the beginner class, yes the beginner. Also I’ve made some wonderful new friends. Sk8 Shot also has intermediate and advanced classes if that’s where you’re at. Whatever level you’ll be pleased and wonder “what took me so long”. See you soon🙂 Less

Honestly Sk8t Shot studios was one of the best things to happen to me bc I was kinda antisocial and super awkward. I started going here around the time they first opened and was really excited to learn how to be a better skater buttt I didn’t want to feel the judgement and pressure of not being good on skates. For me as a beginner, KJ and Adontis (among other instructors) were so friendly, helpful, and overall a good vibe. I would always look forward to their classes and open floor times. I got to meet so many people and learn fun moves, cool tricks and even get in a little workout. KJ would often ask us students what he could do to improve as an instructor so that he could help us more effectively. But most of all it really is a judge-free learning zone for everyone at any level. The music would be poppin and there were times where I’d get frustrated at not being able to do something but everyone was supportive and encouraging. Additionally I love their merch, it’s unique and stylish- I found out Adontis was the main designer and creator. Unfortunately I’m moving out of state but I’m so glad I got to experience KC’s 1st skate studio!! I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in town! Less

Fantastic space & great instructors! Love the classes, they're really helping me grow & figure out where I'm struggling. Definitely a go to for beginners! Less

As a beginner skater, I was incredibly nervous to start skate classes but Adontis and KJ are the best!! Everyone at SK8 Shot is incredibly supportive and I've already learned so much in a short amount of time. I can't recommend SK8 Shot more! Less

Getting private lessons, very patient. I haven't been on skates for 30 years and I feel a lot more comfortable. I will be back. So worth it, so much fun. Less

If you're an adult looking to level up your roller skate game in KC, SK8 Shot is a great place to start. Kj and Adontis do a great job teaching the skills to have a safe and fun time on any roller rink. I haven't been on roller skate in over a decade, and after a few classes with them, I was skating backwards with confidence. It's become mine and my wife's weekly routine to come in for their Saturday classes. Less

The instructors are very friendly and knowledgeable on what they’re teaching. feel very welcomed each time I go and I always leave with a new skill! I highly recommend coming here if you’re just beginning or if you’re more on the advanced side, you won’t regret! Less

I am so happy that I stumbled (literally!) across Sk8shots!! It is a fun relaxed atmosphere, where learning to skate again seems achievable!! Can't wait to glide effortlessly!! Less

I have been searching for a place EXACTLY like this for years!! The teachers (Larae and KJ) were so encouraging and helpful. The class moved quickly and we left with no less than 5 new skills. It had been a long time since I skated and I’m so excited I found this community. I left feeling so rejuvenated and with a huge smile on my face. Not to mention the music, energy, overall vibe was incredible. Parking was widely available and very easy to find. I can’t WAIT to come back. Thank you guys so much!!! Less

I absolutely love this place! The energy of everyone there is inviting and peaceful! I loved roller skating as a child/teen and now I can get back into it. KJ is great! I highly recommend Sk8 Shots!!🛼 Less

Man listen. If you live in the KCMO area, and you want to learn anything about skating, come to this place! Beginner, intermediate, or advanced. They are like Planet Fitness, NO JUDGMENT! It’s a place to learn, and some time have fun. Can’t waist to go again👍🏽 Less

Just completed my first lesson as a beginner and I loved it. The staff is not only super nice, they are excellent teachers! The first thing they asked us was if our wheels were adjusted and they adjusted them for us while giving an explanation as to why. I can’t wait to come back and continue learning next week! Less

Excellent space for beginners to advanced skaters. Affordable space to grow your skill with great trainers that really care about what they are doing. It's an excellent, welcoming community. Less

If you want a fun time learning how to skate, this is the place! The instructors are knowledgeable and excellent at explaining the mechanics of the moves. Less

I signed up for SK8 SHOT Studios almost as soon as I heard about it, and it turned out to be so much better than anything I was expecting. I had just started roller-skating at the beginning of 2023, but by the end of the year I was more confident and felt like I was ready for more advanced maneuvers. The only problem was, I didn’t know where to seek advice for skating other than the internet and in my opinion having an in person coach is more valuable than almost any video you could possibly watch. Luckily, I heard Adontis and KJ were opening a roller-skating studio, the first roller-skating studio in KC in fact. I excitedly sought them out and have since been getting advice directly from them at SK8 SHOT Studios. If you feel like you need advice, whether you’re beginner or more advanced, no matter your skate level, seek them out and you won’t be disappointed. They have exact knowledge regarding body and wheel position and placement. Using that insight they can help you on your personal roller-skating journey. 10/10 Less

SK8 SHOT Studios is such a gem to have here in Kansas City. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone looking for a roller skating outlet. KJ and Adontis, the owners, are wonderful teachers and provide classes for various skating levels. You're also able to use the studio space to practice. It's a great place to come to if you’re thinking about starting or just beginning your skating journey or improving on the skills you’ve already got. The studio is so welcoming and provides such a great outlet for skaters to get together within the community - Y’all need to check it out, their impact on KC skaters will only continue to grow!!! Less

I’ve been taking lessons from Adontis and KJ for a few months now and I can honestly say they’re the best skate teachers I’ve had. They break each move down and meet each skater where they’re at so you leave feeling good about your progress. The studio is an open and inviting place for skaters at any level too, so don’t feel nervous about coming to a class on your own. You’ll leave with some new skate skills and skate buddies! Less

This place is great! There are classes for all levels, and even within a class Adontis and KJ are able to help support skaters with skills differences. They are great about breaking down moves into easier skills and explaining exactly what your balance and posture and positioning should be to help you achieve it. And when you get it, they celebrate and then are ready to help you level up. I go to both the beginner/fundamentals and intermediate classes and I learn something new and get a pretty decent workout no matter what we’re working on. Plus it’s just fun to hang out with other roller skaters! Less

This was an amazing experience with very skilled, and talented instructors, Adontis & KJ! I went for the fundamentals/beginner session, and it was very informative! Adontis was a great at communicating and teaching this lesson! They’re studio is incredible, they definitely put a lot of time and effort in their space and it shows! I highly recommend this place to anyone, whether you’re a beginner or you’ve been skating for years! 10/10 experience! Less

I’ve only been here a handful of times so far and can say this place is incredible. The professionalism of the instructors, their ability to break down each segment of different movements is helpful to skaters of all levels. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to be surrounded by individuals who appreciate artistic expression through movement. Absolute VIBE! Less

Sk8 Shot is an amazing place to go for your birthdays, lessons or just plain fun!!! The class was awesome and KJ had us all looking like pros at the end! From the Bubble Backwards Skate to the Scissor Stop our instructor was patient, helpful and a lot of fun! Be sure call KJ & Adonis to plan your next event here!!! 🥳🎉🥰 Less

This is the best place to learn how to skate! KJ and Adontis are incredible skaters, and they broke down everything so clearly. I started in the beginner classes and now feel comfortable in the intermediate. I highly recommend this spot! Less
