Shawn Engel
"Awesome place to train. Great coaches, both for kids and adults. The community here is amazing! Everyone is looking out for others and helping each other grow. Never felt like I was belittled or to "get better." If you are looking for a safe, positive, and family friendly place to train, whether your just getting started or have years of experience Aurora BJJ is the place to go!"
Sheona Neugebauer
"I’ve been training here for about 3 years now. It’s a great facility filled with amazing people! Professor Mike is a great teacher for both kids and adults. If you’re looking for a place to grow your jiujitsu this is definitely the place! Also we have several women who train here if there are any ladies looking to start their self defense journey!"
Dylan Funcannon
"Dropped in for my first class here today and had such a great time! Everyone had a great attitude and was very welcoming. Mike did a fantastic job on his teachings and instructions. I will be returning soon and definitely recommend this gym to everybody interested in Jiujitsu!"
Aaron Hooker
"The instructors at Aurora BJJ are amazing and care about the safety and well being of their students. Mike and Sammie are great with kids of all ages. I consider myself a patient person, they are more patient. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Cleanliness and hygiene are a priority for them. The students are all stand-up great people in the community. Some love competing, others don't. All are equal. It's a very welcoming environment and questions are encouraged. Many of us are in our 30's and 40's. My kids have been practicing jiu-jitsu for 4 years now and absolutely love it. They are constantly being challenged and have shown great growth. I have been practicing for 2 1/2 years now. Other facilities may be closer (I drive from a neighboring town), but can't imagine changing."
