Great place for anyone! Professor is extremely knowledgeable and welcoming. Been coming here for about a year now and not once have I felt unwelcome or overwhelmed. Training atmosphere is one of looking to get better and improve as opposed to everyone having super high intensity all the time which has helped me improve tremendously.

I just started coming here with my two kids about two months now. I do the adult classes while they do the kids classes and we love coming here. Its such an easy going environment with no judgement and everyone is so friendly! I recommend anyone to join this academy.

Moved to Colorado in October and looked around for the right atmosphere, fell in love with Way of Jiu Jitsu. Great instruction and the best kids program I’ve ever seen! My two oldest kids have gained confidence from the instruction and training they’ve received.

So many great things!! But my favorite- my 6 year old had a really bad dream. I sat with him for a while and then he came and found me and said,” mom, do you know how I’m staying calm? I’m using my jiu jitzu breathing to clear my mind of all the scary thoughts”

Incredible instruction in Jiu Jitsu, Judo, and Shoot Jiu Jitsu (incorporates striking techniques). Friendly environment for kids, teens, and adults. Seminars from highly ranked sources of Jiu Jitsu are available (8th degree coral belt Rigan Machado). Many time slots to choose from, and another satellite location is available at Stanley Marketplace in the Central Park area.

Forever grateful to Professor Nobuo, I started my BJJ training with him and it had completely changed my Life. Made life long friendships, competed in tournaments I never thought of doing, and can take someone out if needed to protect my life. Great place, clean, professional! Thank You Nobuo

Beginner or experienced, you will feel at home at Way of Jiu Jitsu. Almost a year ago, I walked into the school with no prior BJJ experience. I was instantly welcomed and helped by belts of all levels. Professor Nobu’s lesson are absolutely second to none. He leaves brute force techniques at the door and instead instructs his students to focus on form and first master the basics of moves. Every class is instructive, unique, and fun.The gym is competitive and challenging, yet friendly and accepting. Way of Jiu Jitsu is a second family to me, and the atmosphere Professor Nobu and all of the instructors have created makes WoJJ one of the best places in the world to train.Whether you’re a new white belt or a higher belt trying to find a new gym, I HIGHLY recommend Way of Jiu Jitsu.

I bought two 6 week trial packages for my boys 5 and 11 for $145 I have the email receipt to prove it. Unfortunately an emergency came up and we couldnt take the boys to their first day at the mat . I emailed them asking for a refund but no reply. My husband called and was told to send them an email. So I did again and nothing. This was almost 2 weeks ago. My kids dont even want to participate nomore they lost interest after we came back to town...so I really dont see why I cant get a refund since they never even showed up.

Ive been training here for about 9 months now and I totally love this academy. The instructors are excellent, and the community of students is really great. As a father of 2 with a busy life, Way of Jiu Jitsu is the perfect place to get some stress relief. I highly recommend it for beginner and advanced students alike -- something for everyone.

This is a great school! Very welcoming and community oriented. Multiple instructors with different perspectives. The fundamentals classes provide a great introduction to Jiujitsu for new students. Instruction is detail oriented and the instructors make an effort to understand each students goals and help them meet and exceed them. Two locations with full schedules, classes 7 days a week, morning, noon, and evening to fit any schedule!

Returning to grappling after 20+ years off was a nerve-wracking endeavor until I found Way of Jiu Jitsu Academy. Professor Yagai and the other instructors create a welcoming, safe environment for people brand new to Jiu Jitsu or those re-entering the fray. Numerous high level competitors and pros train here. It is truly a family of athletes of all abilities having a great time. Hope to see you there!

I started at Way of Jiu Jitsu 2 1/2 years ago and can honestly say this is one of the best martial arts gyms in Denver.Professor Nobuo is professional, doesnt give out belts without each student knowing that they confidently earned their skills, and cultivates a hardworking atmosphere alongside a community based attitude.Even though not every student knows each other at the school... we all genuinely help to seek each other grow physically, emotionally, and mentally.You cant ask for a better martial arts community.Every tool is available here.. as long as you take advantage of it with a open mind.

I whole heartedly recommend this gym. Ive trained at Way of Jiu Jitsu Academy for 2 years, and the experience has been fantastic. The head professor is a multi sport black belt (karate, judo, BJJ) with a training style that is focused on developing each individual to be their own personal best.In addition to the head professor, there are many other black belts who instruct and train regularly with rest of us. The level of instruction and technical knowledge with this gym is among the best anywhere, and definitely one of the best schools in Denver.

The Way of Jiu-Jitsu Academy has a broad range of members at every belt. So if youre new, you dont have to worry about being the only white belt. If youve been thinking about learning Jiu-Jitsu in Denver, Colorado, this magnificent school is a no-brainer. And if youre more on the competitive side, they will get you ready for any Jui-Jitsu competition that Denver can conjure. Best of all, youll get in great shape while improving your overall focus and discipline.

Way of Jiu Jitsu Academy is a one of a kind gym. Its lead by Professor Nobuo Yagai who has decades of experience in Enshin Karate, Kodokan Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.The art here is wholistic, not just focusing on self defense and sport aspects, but on the growth of the individual.At Way of Jiu Jitsu Academy, its evident the professors primary objective is shepherding each student to be the best version of themselves through the art of Jiu Jitsu.With two locations and multiple classes for different levels, there is never a feeling of missing out. The people who go to these gyms are friendly and helpful and care about mutual prosperity. You wont be disappointed in choosing The Way of Jiu Jitsu Academy!

Everybody says this about their BJJ School, but this place is amazing. If youre a good person, youll love it here. Everybody is so welcoming, encouraging and helpful. The classes are busy enough that you get to roll with all different kinds of people, could be an MMA prodigy or it could be a guy in his 60s who just wants to keep active, it could be a badass Mom or a former pro athlete. The only way this works is because there is no ego here, everybody from new white-belts to experienced butt-kickers are humble(d) to the core through the sport/art of BJJ. The classes are small enough that everyone gets detailed instruction to match their ability, but large enough that youre never deprived of some awesome rolls.I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found this place!

This is a very welcoming school that has a competitive edge. Wether your looking to compete or just get back into shape this is the gym for you. The head instructor is a Rigan Machado black belt. He is extremely technical.

At the Way of Jiu Jitsu Academy, students are not just taught Jiu Jitsu. Students are also taught Judo. The basis of this supplemental training is that over 95% of the fights start from standing. In Jiu Jitsu, the goal is to close the distance and to take the fight to the ground and manage the distance. In Judo, such throws as Uchi Mata, Osoto Gari, and Ouchi Gari are some of the most effective throws in closing the distance and taking the fight to the ground. Once the fight goes to the ground, students are taught various joint locking techniques and control techniques that will enable your opponent to submit. Professor Nobuo Yagai, Chief Instructor at the Way of Jiu Jitsu, earned his black belt at the Kodokan Judo Institute. The Kodokan Institute is the headquarters of the world wide Judo community. In Japanese, Kodokan means a school for studying the Way. Students at the Way of Jiu Jitsu are taught the way of how to use leverage and not strength in fighting an opponent who is bigger and stronger than you are.

Colorado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is awesome! Ive been training here for almost three years now, and its helped me develop confidence and grow as a person. There are classes available almost every day of the week, and class for women and children. There are three black belts who teach here, and they all offer amazing instruction. The first week is free, so theres really no reason not to check it out!

When I first moved to Denver, CO from California about a year ago, one of the first things on my list was to find a Jiu-Jitsu academy where I can continue to train and stay in shape. I am so fortunate to find Colorado Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, where I was welcomed and greeted by a great group of people that I consider my extended family on and off the mats. Professors: Dave, Nobuo, and Keith are all excellent instructors who demonstrate great techniques as well as the philosophies of Jiu-Jitsu. I am very happy to call CBJJ my new home and would highly recommend all to visit this academy!!!
