What Our Students Say

Dwayne
"We were passing through Colorado Springs and stopped in so my girls could train with Professor Bryan while we were in town. He was great with the kids (11) and is very knowledgeable in Jiu Jitsu. We love the Gracie family."
Natalie Contreras
"Top notch!! This place is great!! A must go! I was in town for the week due to work and I wanted to keep my new bjj journey rolling*! I’ve been training at my local hometown bjj unit for a little over a month so I didn’t want to lose momentum. Truth be told, I was a little nervous trying a new place out and didn’t know what to expect. However as soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile! Vanessa and her team were extremely welcoming! Before we started rolling a couple of people came up to me and introduced themselves, everyone was super nice and welcoming. At no point did I feel intimidated or not welcome like many gyms that have their cliques. Even as a visitor I felt at ease and looked forward to going back. To top it all off, I got to learn from a world champion! Humble yet bada$$, you can see how the owner, her family and the members have created this amazing community of people. I loved it here and hope to make it back someday!"
Bristan Keller
"Instructors here at top notch, and students have respect for each other. The kids classes are also great for my son. We’ve been going for 5 months and Professor Bryan is really great and patient with them. It’s not often you see a black belt teaching kids classes, and often has another black belt assist him."
Daniel C
"Best BJJ gym in Colorado Springs. They were welcoming from day one and still are, one of the best team and family atmospheres and very high level instruction. The coaches really want you to succeed and give every member the attention and guidance they require. I came over from a previous gym that was good, but this one is far better. I'm glad this is where I ended up!"
