What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
adam bennett
"Spent almost 2 years with Professor Josh and Juan while working in Pueblo. My home school was in Denver, but Childress BJJ has become like a second home school for me. Professor Josh and Juan are amazing instructors and have been exceptionally welcoming to me even though I was just visiting. I would encourage anyone to try out Childress BJJ. Thank you for everything!"
Travis Bickle
"I was traveling through and stopped in for a class and came back to roll. Kids class was going on before the adults and they looked to have a good sized group of about 15 kids all having fun. The adult class was similarly sized. Good warm up and technical instruction for about and hour and a half. Coach Juan is a technical purple belt and a good communicator. Wednesday and Saturday are rolling. $20 drop in fee. Large facility, lots of mat space, locker rooms and rap music. I'll be back anytime I'm in the Pueblo area."
Andrew Coello
"Stopped by from out of town and had a great time at this gym. The coaches are knowledgeable and competitive. It was very welcoming, thank you for allowing me to stop by."
Ben Oakland
"Children's dojo is a great place. This dojo has a good coach to student ratio. There are usually 3 coaches during the kid classes. This allows for kids to get sufficient one on one training. Every coach on the mat also has incredible patients and is willing to put in the extra time with struggling students."
