Liam Richardson

My entire family, 5 of us, go to Gracie Barra Saddle Rock and we love it. The coaches and professors are superb, the curriculum is well defined and easy to learn, the community is fantastic. We're new to Jiu Jitsu and this school has been nothing short of a blessing to our family.

Ryan Ayres

My whole family (5 of us) have been training here for 3 months now. It’s been a fantastic experience. The community is just without parallel. Everyone has opened their arms and welcomed us unconditionally. One of my sons has autism and the other has a behavior disorder. The coaches and instructors have been so patient and worked with them at their level while still expecting them to drive and improve.

I’m so incredibly thankful for this gym and the community surrounding it.

Mike Gallagher

The best Jiu-Jitsu school in the area by far!! Treat you like family and welcome all with open arms. Gracie Barra saddle Rock is now being featured as the only recommended Jiu-Jitsu school at 24 Hour Fitness Parker x Arapahoe. I highly recommend checking them out!

Arnold

Our five year old and eight year old have both trained here for the past five months. The physical fitness is great for getting their energy out. The bigger benefits are character building and the sense of community. Their confidence and self image have improved in this short time, which is great prevention for bullying! I’m always surprised how quickly my kids listen and how tall they stand in class. Professor Bruno and Coach Matt are excellent teachers, very patient, and encourage self discipline. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Saddle Rock!

Jen B

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques. It emphasizes leverage, technique, and strategy to overcome opponents of various sizes and strengths.

Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Gracie Barra welcomes students of all skill levels, including beginners. Our classes are designed to cater to individuals with no prior experience in BJJ. Our instructors provide comprehensive instruction and support to help beginners learn and progress at their own pace.

Do I need to be physically fit to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

No, you do not need to be in peak physical condition to begin training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ itself is a great way to improve your fitness level. Our classes are structured to accommodate different fitness levels, and our instructors will help you gradually develop strength, endurance, and flexibility.

Can children learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Yes! Many Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies offer specialized programs for children. BJJ can benefit children by teaching them discipline, self-confidence, respect, and practical self-defense skills in a safe and controlled environment.

What are the benefits of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is highly effective for self-defense because it focuses on ground fighting, where many real-life altercations end up. BJJ techniques allow individuals to neutralize and control opponents without relying on size or strength, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and body types.

Will I need any special equipment or gear to start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

While it's common for BJJ academies to provide loaner or rental equipment for beginners, you will eventually need to invest in a few essential items. These typically include a BJJ gi (uniform), a mouthguard, and protective gear like knee pads or rash guards. Your academy can guide you on the specific requirements.

How often should I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

The frequency of training can vary depending on individual goals and availability. For beginners, it's recommended to start with a few classes per week to build a solid foundation. As you progress, you can gradually increase training frequency. Consistency is key, so aim for a balance that fits your schedule and allows for recovery.

Are there belt rankings in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Yes, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu utilizes a belt ranking system to signify a practitioner's progress and skill level. The traditional belt colors are white, blue, purple, brown, and black. Each belt requires a certain level of proficiency, time in training, and demonstration of technique and knowledge. Advancement in belt rank is typically determined through regular evaluations conducted by qualified instructors.
