Six Blades Jiu Jitsu

“Six Blades Jiu Jitsu of South Denver is truly a special place. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed like family—and that’s not just a slogan, it’s a lived value. Sensei Rodrigo Antunes and Professor Marco Flores go above and beyond in their tireless dedication to their students. They exemplify the core Six Blades principles of family, loyalty, honor, respect, and discipline in everything they do. Their instruction is world-class, but what really sets them apart is their heart. They pour into each student, regardless of experience level, and create a culture that’s both challenging and deeply supportive. If you’re looking for a place to grow—not just in skill, but in character—this is it. I’m proud to be part of the Six Blades family.”

“Joining Six Blades Jiu Jitsu under Sensei Rodrigo has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt welcomed, not just as a student, but as part of a family. Sensei Rodrigo leads with a rare mix of humility, deep technical knowledge, and a passion for teaching that’s contagious. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build confidence or an experienced grappler wanting to sharpen your skills, this is the place to be. He creates an environment where discipline meets encouragement, where you’re constantly challenged but always supported. The culture here is unmatched. No egos, just good people who want to grow on and off the mats. If you’re thinking about trying jiu jitsu, do it! Come meet sensei Rodrigo, try a class, and you’ll understand why so many of us call this our second home.”

“I don’t remember the last time I’ve written a review but Six Blades has been nothing short of outstanding. I highly recommend everyone to come give it a try. It is an amazing environment to learn, compete, and push yourself! Rodrigo and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, they bring huge amounts of energy everyday and make Six Blades a place you are exited to be at. It has quickly became something I look forward to and one of my favorite parts of the day. I started with no experience in BJJ, but was immediately welcomed. They have build a close knit community that constantly encourages and cares about one another. It has been a phenomenal experience and I can’t wait to see what the future holds!”

“I just began my martial arts Jiu jitsu journey and I'm more than happy to have joined Six Blades Denver. Everyone has been extremely welcoming from the instructors to the students. Martial arts culture in general is very welcoming. Shout outs to professors Marco👏, Steve 10/10, Rodrigo and Professor Kyle the Judo instructor that has the patience of a Saint and will take the time to talk you through and demonstrate the techniques until you have good grasp of them.”

“My 14 y/o son started training at Six Blades because he was experiencing some harassment at school and wanted to build self confidence and be prepared to defuse any unwanted unpleasantries. Everyone at Six Blades was very welcoming and warm and made him feel as part of the “family” right away. I had my reservations because I am against physical resolution of conflict, but Six Blades approach to training is anything but. They focus on self defense and finding balance in strengthening individuals’ physical and mental power, as well as promoting a healthy lifestyle. It’s not the typical tough guys macho man environment you see at some gyms/dojos. We couldn’t be happier to have found Sensei Rodrigo and his team, they are wonderful teachers, but above all, they are great people.”
