JohnMichael Agustin
"I am a Healthcare Traveler and wanted to find a gym that can help me stay in shape. I came across Morning Star by chance since the gym I intended to sign up for was not accepting anymore applications. This Jiu Jitsu gym has been giving me a positive experience so far in Colorado. Coach Tim, Coach Junior, and the people I met so far and everyone who trains here are incredible. Coach John (who teaches afternoon classes) is one of the reasons I usually do 2-a-days and not miss afternoon classes. I get to see his approach on certain things while also learning from the other coaches in the morning and night classes. ~watch out for that double arm bar~"

"I went to a few classes here and was always welcomed and treated like I've been training there forever. the instructor is thorough, skilled, and shows very useful techniques for everyone. He is also very kind and approachable. The gym has a laid bad energy and primarily teaches nogi. The only thing to know before you go is that it's a little hard to find so go early. You'll take some stairs up to the gym."

"Tim was one of my original instructors, when he was teaching in Minnesota. My experience with him was that he was a patient, caring, and welcoming instructor. I was able to drop in during my visit to Denver, and I can tell you that none of that has changed. He's as good of an instructor as he was before, if not better. I think if anyone is looking for a Jiu Jitsu gym in this area, this is the place to be."
