The Barracks

“I have been coming for 4 months now and coaches are great ! Environment is great people who come in are great. Each practice I leave with something new to think about and wanting to come back and learn more because of how invested the coaching and everyone in there are into this art ! Highly recommend coming in with experience or without great place.”

“Amazing coaches and amazing people. Best nogi grappling in the area.”

“The barracks quickly became home for me. Everyone is so welcoming, respectful, and kind. The way they teach is very meticulous. It’s evident the coaches work hard to make sure all of their students understand what they do and why they do it. This environment is gritty, strong, and not for the faint of heart. The coaches and students are a proud reflection of exactly that on the mat. Doesn’t matter the age, size, or experience level. Everyone grinds hard and suffers together. I love training here. It’s difficult to make excuses in a room where the coaches are working and competing harder than the students. Whether you’re a hobbyist (like myself) or a dedicated competitor, you can learn and grow from the killers at this gym.”

“Can't say enough about the coaches! If you're looking for a great place to push yourself this is it. I'm proof that you're never too old!! Give it a try.... you'll be glad you did!!”

“The best Grappling gym In Aurora. Turning mud into Iron. Iron into Diamond this gym shows you the foundation of becoming a better person on and off the mat.”
