Christian Mayfield
"I started going to classes months ago to learn self defense, and now training at GJJ as become part of my weekly routine. Micheal is an epic coach with so much passion and knowledge. He's one of the best teachers I've ever had! There's a great atmosphere at the gym, very kind, fun, and respectful. We're so lucky to have a place like this on main in Gunnison!!"
Mark Blair
"Gunnison Jui Jitsu is an awesome place to learn and train! Mike is a great Coach, teacher, and person! I love the atmosphere of the gym and everyone on our team! It’s a very positive place to be a beginner and get on the path that jui jitsu provides. I am thankful to have such a great gym with a great coach to begin my journey. Come in and check it out, see ya on the mats!!!"
Tim Bolton
"I started coming to the gym in March 2022 having no jiu-jitsu experience, and barely any martial arts experience. After only a few months of training twice a week, I've learned a ton of fundamental jiu-jitsu that has kept me in shape and taught me valuable self-defense tactics. Michael (the head instructor) is super knowledgeable about jiu-jitsu strategy and how it helps those who dedicate themselves to their training. On top of all the physical and mental benefits of my training, I've also met a bunch of solid people who are committed to their own training and to helping their training partners grow. The gym is affordable and offers several plans to choose from. And anyone who isn't sure about jumping right in can sign up for a two-week trial for just $40. It will be worth your time if you commit to it!"
Nathan Beauchamp
"Mike is a brilliant teacher who cares deeply about his student's success. He's taught in the valley for many years, and recently reopened Gunnison Jiu-Jitsu after some years away. The new space is fantastic, right in the center of down town. Mike excels at working with kids and giving them the confidence they need to grow and gain skill. If you are considering joining a gym, you couldn't do better than this one. Ask any of Mike's longtime students - they confirm he's not only taught them discipline and skill, but helped develop them as human beings."
