"Rodrigo has been an incredible instructor! I have had nothing but positive results in my skill and attitude towards jiu jitsu. I would highly recommend anyone living in the Denver area or traveling to Denver to seek out Rodrigo's school!"
Rodrigo Dias
"I have been training Brazilian jiu jitsu for almost two years now with Denver jiu jitsu and Rodrigo Salazar and I hope to be training with Rodrigo Salazar until I get my black belt and beyond, Rodrigo knows the Real Brazilian jiu jitsu self defense that can be used for competition, MMA and real life situations on the streets. I also tried other BJJ schools but not once it was mentioned the self defense aspect of the Brazilian, so I went back to Denver jiu Jitsu and here I am today. that is a peace of advise I give to you if you want to learn some Real Brazilian jiu jitsu come to Denver jiu jitsu."
