"I can’t say enough great things about training with Mike & Sheena Bidwell. Their passion for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is unmatched, and it shows in every aspect of their teaching. They both have a very unique approach to instruction that blends traditional fundamentals with a creative flow that keeps every class engaging and effective. The atmosphere at the school is welcoming, inclusive, and full of positive energy. Mike & Sheena have cultivated a team that feels more like a family, where everyone supports each other’s growth. It’s the kind of environment where you’re constantly inspired to push your limits while feeling completely supported.

Nicholas Gregoriades
"Grounds is great. I love training jiu-jitsu there. And it's an awesome spot for kids to engage in enriching activities instead of more screen time. The owners are lovely people that put their hearts into everything that they do. The space is so relaxing and I always feel such a great energy there. It's always first on my list of places to go when I visit Colorado."
Rick Braun
"Mike and Sheena are great. They provide high quality technical jiu-jitsu instruction that all levels - white belt to black belt - can immediately implement in their games. And more importantly - they are fun and friendly people! Check out Grounds."
