I studied martial arts years ago and wanted to find a place in Colorado that fit my schedule and needs. I tried a few BJJ shops in the area and while most of them have good instructors, the vibe of ego and underhanded competitiveness bothered me. I didn’t know much about what it meant to be a «Gracie certified» instruction facility, but after some research I found that it means that the Gracie traditions and meticulous instruction regimen will be followed. The instructors are knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible; willing to take the time whether you’re a beginner or advanced student to make sure your technique is clean and useful. There are no egos the students are friendly, we all feel a sense of camaraderie help each other during every lesson and training session.
