What Our Students Say

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

Katey Harmon

"Our daughter has been training at Way of Jiu Jitsu since she was 8 and she is now 14, and she absolutely loves it! The coaches are wonderful and so patient with the kids. I recently started training myself and the environment is very welcoming and not at all intimidating! I would highly recommend Way of Jiu Jitsu for kids and adults!"

Christine McCabe

"I joined a couple months ago and it's been a lot of fun! I don't consider myself very athletic and I never really did sports, but both the coaches and other members have been so nice and patient with teaching me. Way of Jiu Jitsu is a very welcoming community for sure."

Bob Urbon

"I started training at Way of Jiu Jitsu back in 2022 I guess. I trained there for about a year and a half before moving overseas. Since leaving this jiu jitsu academy, I have trained at three or four other places… Some big schools… Some small schools… Some in the US… Some in Europe… Way of Jiu Jitsu is by far the best academy I have attended. Now, whenever my family and I visit Denver, getting in a few training sessions at Way of Jiu Jitsu is a must, even for my wife and two kids. Way of Jiu Jitsu is great because its leadership has a ridiculous amount of experience competing and training and teaching. The instructors genuinely care about their students and never hesitate to meet you where you are. Whether you are a casual beginner or a competitive athlete, if you value an environment of mutual respect and community that challenges you to be your best every time you show up, then you have found the right place to train: at Way of Jiu Jitsu."

Jessica Pettigrew

"My son has been doing jujutsu here since he was about nine years old. We’ve looked at some other studios and did some practice lessons but the coaches and instructors here are the best around! They closely monitor the kids and teach them the fundamentals. They really care about the kids and there’s very low turnover with many of the coaches having been there for years. Stop looking for other places to sign up here."
