What Our Students Say

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

Nate Uriell

"Best BJJ Academy in the area hands down. Veteran owned and operated. Professor Steve is top notch, his staff is top notch, I can’t say enough. World class instruction in a fun and safe environment. I have done multiple seminars with a few big names and his approach and practicality to jiu jitsu is second to none. Very fortunate to have Katharo so close to home. If you’re thinking about checking out jiu jitsu, this is the place to go!"

Barbara Krider

"I just completed my second full month of taking classes two to three times per week and I am hooked. Starting with Budokon really helped me understand the movements before jumping into the fundamentals and I'm really glad I started this way. Everyone at the training center is extremely welcoming and helpful, especially to those of us that have no experience. I had some major medical issues that have set me back the last few years and I'm super excited to start jumping back in, building strength, and getting myself moving again. Budokon has really made a huge difference on my strength and flexibility - had no idea how weak I was in some areas and this is really helping. Can't say enough positive things about this center, highly recommend it to anyone interested in trying something new. Super fun way to get yourself moving again, and with a great tribe too! Also recommend the Wednesday women's class!"

Anthony Romero

"A huge shout out to Steve. The amount of dedication he puts out to his students is amazing. All levels of students are welcomed, and treated the same. Steve served his country, and still serves the community. With hard work and dedication dreams can be fulfilled at Katharo training center."

R.J. Lowery

"Incredible martial arts training center for kids and adults alike! I dropped in while on a work trip for a class and private with Steve (owner and professor) and was immediately greeted with kindness and authenticity. Knowing I’m older, they worked with me appropriately and I could immediately see they do the same (and have classes) for people of all demographics. I was taught Gracie BJJ moves that would work for self defense skills as well as for someone wanting to engage in competitive Jiu Jitsu/Grappling/Muai Thai/Wrestling. Also enjoyed the full gym, showers, saunas etc. Highly recommend to the families in Littleton/Denver looking for world class instruction and wanting to get into, or level up, their self defense, workout or martial arts game!"
