What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Angelo Kelly

"I can't say enough good things about Iron Roots BJJ. Dan and Erin are both great instructors who will help you progress in all areas. The gym is very clean. There's no culty gi policy or discouraging you to train other places. Training partners will match your intensity whether you're a competitor or a hobbyist. Unfortunately moved away from the Springs, but will be back whenever I'm in town!"

joshua ciccone-okodo

"Was a great gym to train at when I was there. Loved that they had beginner courses often and learned a lot from those as well as the more advanced classes. Everyone was friendly, instructors were very knowledgeable and friendly as well. Great choice if you are in the area."

Christian Jiménez

"Prof. Dan and Erin are some of the best BJJ practitioners and teachers I've ever had. I've trained at 4 different gyms in the last 5 years, and Iron Roots has been one of, if not the best, gym I've been at. They are patient in both the kids and adults class, and they are extremely welcoming to all. 10/10 recommend training here!"

American- Cody
