Way of Jiu Jitsu Aurora

"Our kids have been attending this jiu-jitsu academy for over two years now, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaches are all incredibly professional, skilled, and great with the kids. We've seen so much growth—not just in technique, but also in confidence, discipline, and respect. The community here is supportive and welcoming, making it a place our kids actually look forward to coming to. Highly recommend to any family looking for a high-quality martial arts program!"

"We love WJJ, a true gem of Aurora! My younger son (5 years) had been asking to take karate lessons. The request led me to recall jiu jitsu classes I took in high school and the focus on self defense as opposed to hurting the other party. A friend mentioned that her son had been taking jiujitsu classes since he was 4 years old at a nearby studio that she highly recommended. I looked up WJJ of Aurora was pleasantly surprised to learn of the affordable starter package for kids. Dr. Quynh Nguyen made the enrollment process seamless and my son felt at home right away. He loved his first class and was very taken with how one of his classmates received a sticker in honor of respectful behaviors toward peers and senseis, and for mentoring newer members. I brought my older son (8 years) with me for pick up at the second session and he immediately asked if he could also join. We love the principles of jiu jitsu - respect, self control, hard work, and perhaps most importantly for young ones, delay of gratification - all foundational lessons that will shape my children’s outlook and work ethic for years to come. We adore the instructors Dr. Quynh, Coaches Jalen and Charles, and Professor Nobuo (5th in the world for his weight class!). They are knowledgable, skilled, patient, encouraging, and always make class fun for little ones. They do this while being firm, maintaining a safe environment, and employing consistent approaches for teaching children about self-discipline. Now we are 6 weeks and 2 kids in, and my husband is considering joining adult classes at the ripe young age of 41! If you are at all considering this for your children, try the starter package. You won't regret it! P.S. while searching for WJJ of Aurora, I noticed that some reviews for this gym were accidentally posted to the WJJ of Denver gym. I included a few below - all 5 stars: "We started Way of jiu-jitsu in May of 2022, and haven't looked back. Coach Quyhn has been such a huge help from our first email we received, getting started for our first class, and an amazing coach cultivating our kiddos minds in every class we attend. We love the passion each coach brings, the patience they have the kids while also commanding respect, teaching discipline, and all the knowledge Professor Nobu shares. Way of Jiu-jitsu will be a constant art we continue to instil in our children." "I feel so lucky I found this gym! Every member, and coach is so welcoming and supportive...every day, at every level, and in every class! Everyone here feels like family, and treats each-other as such. PLUS...as a female athlete, it has been extremely impacting and inspiring to have such an amazing female coach (thanks Coach Quynh!!!). I had been so intimated to start training, and I now I only wish I had started sooner. If you're even considering a class, just come in and try it out! The Way of Jiu Jitsu Academy is truly as good as it gets!!" "Professor Nobuo is an accomplished and highly skilled teacher, of several disciplines, and of the utmost legitimate Jiu Jitsu lineage. He has created a welcoming and respectful culture, and I consider myself lucky to have found this academy.""

"This place is amazing. There are classes for all belts/levels, and you get a sense of community really quickly. I was intimated by this sport (especially as a female athlete), but this is a very welcoming environment. Professor Nobuo and the WOJJ coaches know you by name and care about your progress. You get a lot of 1:1 time and their unique teaching styles enrich the learning experience. Can’t recommend it enough."
