Ground Zero Roaring Fork Valley BJJ

“What a great place to train. Thomas and all of the people I train with are awesome. Everyone is very welcoming and the more advanced persons are eager and willing to help. Training has boosted my confidence, and given me real world skills. I've acquired skills beyond self-defense, like problem solving, thinking on the fly, and the confidence that I can endure and conquer difficult situations.”

“Thomas teaches my son Chase in his kids class for BJJ. We heard about him through family and we are so grateful that we did! His dedication to the kids is something truly special. His attentiveness, patience, and easy going/friendly personality creates a warm and comfortable space for the kids along with the parents watching in the audience. We love Thomas, and highly recommend that others look into him and what he does!”

“I've been training under Thomas at Ground Zero for nearly four years and I can't say enough about him and our environment! Thomas is a wonderful coach on the mats and during competitions. Ground Zero also has great brown and purple belts who are always ready to help and teach. Challenge your limits, get a great workout in, learn how to fight, strengthen your mind. Come check us out and try it for yourself!”

“Transformative and life changing. This gym has taught me skills that has boosted my confidence and has helped me realize I'm capable of self-defense should I ever need those answers to a bad situation. The culture of the gym is so positive and inviting, and everyone encourages their teammates to grow and prosper. It is an especially positive environment for women to train--all the guys are respectful and wonderful training partners! I've never once felt uncomfortable. The quality of instruction from Professor Thomas is top level: he welcomes questions, is patient, and strives to help his students become better martial artists. This gym really is a hidden gem, and I'm incredibly glad to have found and made it my jiujitsu home! I wouldn't recommend anywhere better to learn martial arts!”

“This gym has such an incredible team atmosphere that is uplifting, encouraging, and helps push you to grow. Thomas is a wonderful teacher and very knowledgeable. The gym is offering new classes (kid classes, and adult, kick boxing, etc.) which helps students learn even more skills and try new techniques. I would highly recommend this gym for any age and any skill level!”
