Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu · Longmont, Colorado · gi and no-gi · a coach on every mat

Leverage over strength. It’s human chess.

Gi and no-gi from fundamentals through black belt, with a coach on every mat. No rank ceremony to walk through the door, and a first class that costs nothing. No card required.

Guard to mount, step by step Four positions from one roll: hold the guard, survive the pass, control from the top, finish in mount. The red arrow is the one that decides the exchange.

The thesis

Jiu-jitsu works the same way for a hundred-and-thirty-pound white belt as it does for a heavyweight: get the position locked down before you go hunting for the finish, and let your frame do the work instead of your muscle. The whole game is seeing two moves further than they can and putting your weight somewhere theirs has no answer for. That takes longer to learn than a strength program, and it is the reason a good purple belt gives a strong, untrained athlete a very long night.

The belt path · White to black

A long road, told straight

Every academy shows the rail from white to black. What most don't say: the timeline below is illustrative, not a promise. Time on the mat and a coach's judgment decide a promotion, not a calendar.

  1. White belt
  2. Blue belt
  3. Purple belt
  4. Brown belt
  5. Black belt

First class · Free means free

Your first class is free. Here’s the whole procedure.

  1. Show up ten early

    Pick any class on the grid and tell the coach it’s your first. You’ll get a rash guard if you need one, and a spot near the wall to watch the warm-up before you join it.

  2. You’re not rolling hard on day one

    The coach pairs you with someone patient and slows the pace to match. Nobody expects a first-timer to keep up with the room, and nobody will make you feel like they do.

  3. You decide after

    Prices are on this site, not behind a desk conversation. If it fit, joining takes two minutes. If it didn’t, thanks for rolling. No pitch, no follow-up call.
