This is a great facility with multiple mats to roll at. The class sizes werent too large unlike most franchise schools where the professor isnt always able to give you their attention. The team and environment that Robert has cultivated there is really friendly and welcoming, even to a drop in like myself. I would definitely recommend this academy to anyone in the area, visiting or otherwise.

I was visiting from out of town and wanted to try and get a training session in over the weekend. Ended up here mainly because it was close to where I was staying and I was so glad I came here to train. I went to a fundamentals class and then stayed for open mat. First off, they had a huge training mat and the entire building was very clean. Robert was the instructor for the day. We went over about 5 different techniques and he was very detailed about each one. Any question that was asked about the technique, Robert provided a full explanation and reason for his answer. All the students were extremely respectful, friendly, and humble. Everybody was very intentional with their techniques and about trying to learn. During the open mat everybody rolled hard, but nobody was trying to prove anything by taking your head off, like some other places.If you are looking to get into BJJ, looking for a permanent place to train, or just looking to drop in, I would definitely recommend going to The Academy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Arvada. I certainly hope to go back next time I am in the area!!

The academy is a great place to train, whether you are brand new or experienced. The instructors are all experienced competitors and use that wealth of knowledge to inform their teaching. Rob has been involved in developing high-level competitions and tournaments and so has a tong of connections with top athletes. Many elite competitors drop in regularly for class, open mat, or as guest instructors. Dont let this intimidate you, though- the academy has family feel and everyone is welcoming from day one!

Did a drop in intermediate session while on vacation and was very pleased with it. Very knowledgeable instruction, very competent and capable students, clean facility, and everyone I met was beyond nice and welcoming. It is a more sport/tournament oriented school from my experience but I only attended one class so that isnt to say that all classes are such.Overall 10/10, would recommend to anyone looking to do well in tournaments or anyone from a self-defense oriented school looking for some variety.

Great place to train. Instructors are excellent and welcoming to everyone.

My bf and I trained at the Academy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Arvada while on vacation. This is a nice, clean facility with lots of classes on the schedule to choose from. Thanks to their flexible schedule, we were able to fit in a class and an open mat session, alongside all the touristy things we wanted to do.What a great group of people to train with! Everyone treated us with friendly curiosity, and seemed genuinely interested in helping us improve.

The academy is an awesome place to learn Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are all high level practitioners, and the curriculum is set up for student success. Rob has a lot of connections in the bjj world and will often have other black belts come and teach seminars. People are real friendly overall a great place to train

I appreciated that both Professors (Rob & Rubin) invited me in to come and train; wasn’t weird or exclusive at all. The facility was very clean; the students were very focused and in control. The students were very honed and great rolling partners. I’m looking forward to my next visit to the area! - J. Rourke (Blue belt; 4 stripes)

Anytime I am in the Denver area for work (from Illinois) I feel very lucky to get to train at the Academy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Arvada.Professor Wunderlich is very clear in his teaching, progressing learnings in a manageable, but still challenging, way. His enthusiasm is greatly appreciated.The school has really grown in years, and has nice high ceilings and good air flow. There is also a section for striking classes, and what is impressive is they can do classes concurrently and you cannot even tell another class is going on in the other room, the sound is very well managed.Whether you are looking for self defense, or also want to compete, this is an awesome school.

Welcoming environment, with a great group of people who are eager to learn. You get I n depth, clear instructions with a variety of scenarios and multiple options for each. Professor is dedicated to the art and practice of Jiu Jitsu and really only wants for your success! Warning -- once Jiu Jitsu gets into your blood its highly addictive; you have been warned!

This is a great place to train, very detailed instructions for fundamentals and advanced, always clean and super friendly rolling partners. The environment and vibe are always fun, Ive never left the doorstep without having a fantastic experience!

The staff has pure devotion and commitment to teaching. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and great with children. The studio is very welcoming and my son thoroughly enjoyed his experience there. Thanks guys!

Professor Robert is a great black belt, very detailed. I’m a blue belt 2 stripe and had a great time rolling. Clean and lots of mat to roll.

A great, supportive environment for learning. Very clear and concise instruction as well!

I moved to Colorado shortly after receiving my black belt. I had a chance to visit many schools in the area prior to choosing ABJJA as my new home. Though many others had great instructors and facilities ABJJA was still a clear choice. The environment and instruction is far above others. Classes are specifically tailored to beginners as well as advanced students. Level of detail that is put into every move as well as the curriculum is gargantuan. I also had a chance to bring some visiting friends to the school and everyone loved the stay. My favorite place to be!

I stopped by for a drop in and had a great time! Clear instruction and great environment. If you’re in the area and are looking to start jiu jitsu, this gym has a great vibe.

Robert is a dedicated and passionate teacher of the art. I strongly recommend the academy of Jiu jitsu Arvada as the place to train if you want to learn and practice every aspect of the art the way it was meant to be.

Cant recommend highly enough!I only had the chance to train with Professor Robert (and others--Sean is great, too) for two months while away from my home academy, but the gym and its members are really friendly, very inclusive, and happy to help people learn. Roberts style of teaching involves a lot of points on principles of movement (e.g., points of attack are where the body bends) that really help clarify the game.Robert is hugely involved in the BJJ community, between acting as a head ref for tournaments around the country and even helping out people affected by Hurricane Harvey! Just a stand up guy. Great environment in general (Ill go ahead and mention that Im a young woman and always felt very comfortable here). Lots of seminars.

Ive trained at over 5 different schools in my jitz journey. The Arvada Academy is top notch! Its a new, clean, and inviting facility with great instruction and friendly club members.

This place is amazing went in for a free lesson and learned a lot.

If you live in the Arvada area and are interested in precise Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction, this is the place to train!

Great Instructors creating an amazing environment to learn

Awesome place, great instructors!
