Colorado's Premier Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and MMA Academy

At Denver Jiu-Jitsu we believe that eliminating the ego is the key to maximizing the benefits of training Gracie Jiu-Jitsu--this translates into a training environment that is friendly, respectful, non-intimidating, and intelligent.

Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is designed to accomodate people with every imaginable goal, from people just looking to get in shape and learn the mostl effective self defense, to those aspiring to be professional athletes competing at the highest level of competition in both grappling and mixed martial arts. We will provide you with the pure, essential techniques and strategies of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, as handed down from master Helio Gracie to his son Relson Gracie over a lifetime of Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu Instruction.

Our program includes grappling both with and without the gi, and unlike some modern BJJ programs also has classes that are focused on dealing with punches while groundfighting and general street self defense. Relson Gracie's Jiu-Jitsu was proven in the mean streets of Brazil, where he went undefeated in both formal and informal competition for over 20 years, earning him the nickname "Campeao," ("Champion").  He has developed a realistic style that is exceptionally well suited for both self defense scenarios and Mixed Martial Arts competition.

We also offer both Judo for BJJ / MMA as well as Wrestling for BJJ / MMA classes as part of our jiu jitsu program, meaning you get a well rounded approach to grappling that is sure to make you excel. 

Our Muay Thai / Kickboxing program is also a major focus at Denver Jiu-Jitsu. We can arm you with the most lethal kicks, punches, elbows and knees. We will also get you in the best shape of your life.  Like our BJJ program, our muay thai program is designed for both competitive athletes as well as everyday people looking to get into fantastic shape.
