High Country Jiu Jitsu

“I have some experience in martial arts, but I’m new to Jiu-Jitsu. I had the opportunity to attend a week of classes here, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere is welcoming, the instruction is clear, and the people are great🥰 A big thank you to Andy, the owner, and Christian for leading these classes—I loved it🫶 Check out their website for the current schedule, and don’t hesitate to drop by! Bjj, no gi, gi”

“This place rules. I’m new to bjj and it can be intimidating to start, but the atmosphere and people here couldn’t be more welcoming & supportive. All of the coaches have gone out of there way to provide me with extra help and attention as I learn the basics. Coach Christain is a true student of the game and does a great job explaining the concepts & reasoning behind things. Great group of people and great gym.”

“High Country Jiu Jitsu had been an incredible gift to my family. Andy quickly integrated my son as a new student and has reliably shown up at each session in a positive, dedicated and thorough way. The youth class has become an important activity to the whole family as we all get inspired by the kid's enthusiasm, which can be attributed to the top tier example set forth by Andy. I am thankful for this essential asset in Chaffee County and grateful for the invitation to join in this community. This is a special place.”

“I spent several weeks in Salida and really wanted to get some training in while I was here. Coach Andrew and the rest of his studio welcomed me with open arms. The facility is super clean and the instruction was on point. Learned a few techniques to help improve my Jiu Jitsu game. If you are looking to try Jiu Jitsu or spending time in town give High Country a try.”

“I wanted to share my experience coming in as a woman with no prior martial arts experience. I'm not gonna lie, I was extremely nervous and felt intimidated being the only girl in the class. I have to say, Coach Andy, the other coaches, and all the other students immediately put my mind at ease. They were extremely kind, accommodating, and helped me feel comfortable. They have helped me to learn and grow, and they also ensured me that I wasn't stifling their experience or holding them back. They have expressed how much it helps them to continue to uplevel their practice by having to slow down, walk through the techniques, and see from a different perspective. Now, I am obsessed! Such a great workout - cardio, strength, flexibility, and learning to defend yourself even as the smaller opponent. Incredible! Highly recommend Hight Country Jiu Jitsu!!!”
