Yes, we are open for training in all programs!

Our schedules are constantly evolving as we adjust to increasing demand and COVID-19 regulations. The most up-to-date is always available on our website.

To register please use this link https://www.mystudio.academy/m/?=gjjco/5937///1607554805. You may also download the My Studio APP for your convenience. If you do, please enter code: gjjco to access our school. We have decided to not have contracts (at this time) so we are encouraging everyone to enroll in the ACH Withdrawal option so that we do not have to track down payments each month. When signing up you MUST select payments in the My Studio calendar to come out of your selected account on or before the 1st of the month to hold your spot for the upcoming month.
Here are the fees for both the ACH or Credit / Debit Card options. Cash & Check are also an option at the front desk (with no added admin fees). However, these options may not always hold your spot.

ACH Bank Fees = 1.5% per transaction

Credit / Debit Card Fees = 3.15% + $0.55 per transaction

Please wear clean comfortable workout clothes if you don’t have a GI (uniform). Uniforms are required if you continue to train and are available in our pro shop or online at Gracie University. You can purchase a Gi at the Gracie University Website here https://store.gracieuniversity.com/

A clean GI must be worn for every class and a t-shirt or rash guard must be worn under the GI.

No problem. Not needed for your first class. Just wear comfortable workout clothing. You can purchase a Gi at the Gracie University Store.

We will also be opening up a pro shop in the near future so may have some on hand. Check with the head instructor while in class.

Not at this time. Please wear comfortable gym clothes until you are able to purchase a Gi. All students must purchase a white GI (Uniform) to attend Combatives, Master Cycle, and all kid’s classes. Women Empowered does not require a GI.

No Problem. We see beginners every day and will schedule you for a class that is appropriate for your level of experience. Our adult classes have students of all fitness levels and all ages.

No problem! Our beginner programs are specifically designed for first-time jiu-jitsu practitioners and the techniques are always broken down into easy to follow steps—Always keeping safety a priority.

At our academy, safety is the number one priority. In far too many BJJ schools, the classes are structured to meet the needs of the most elite students. If you are a beginner student, you are expected to serve as a “grappling dummy” for those above you. The thought process is, if you avoid injury, and stick around long enough, you will eventually figure it out. At our academy we take the opposite approach. Firstly, there is no competitive sparring in our beginner programs. As a result, you’ll have a chance to learn all the beginner techniques in a fully-cooperative environment, with like-minded training partners for 8-12 months. Once you move on to the advanced program, and you begin sparring, you will have the benefit of working with training partners of every skill level who are working with you rather than against you. This culture of collaboration and mutual benefit is extremely rare in jiu-jitsu, and we go to great lengths to make sure it is upheld at our academy. All instructors are law enforcement background checked. All adult students names are run against the Colorado Bureau of Investigation sex offender registry. We want a safe training environment for all students.

Hopefully great! Watch the videos for a detailed breakdown of what to expect on the classes tab on the website.

Everything about our beginner programs was specifically designed to make the classes as safe and encouraging for new students as possible.

As a first-time student we will pair you up with a slightly more experienced student who can answer your questions and help guide your learning throughout the class.

Bathrooms are available for changing, and we provide common area cubbies for usage during classes. You may use the provided cubbies to store your personal belongings.

Every situation is unique, and the high-risk locations around the country and world are changing regularly. Please notify the head instructor Tony Debelak if you have left the state or country. You may be asked to quarantine and/or to get a COVID-19 test prior to returning to classes. Please be honest and help us to protect the health of our academy.

This varies by program. It will depend on our numbers at the time. Due to Covid -19 we do have restrictions in place. Please speak to the Head Instructor for more information and/or availability. You may also email us at graciejiujitsuaurora@gmail.com

We are using CDC-recommended cleaning solutions to sanitize our mats, heavy bags, and Thai pads before each class. We are also frequently cleaning surfaces in our bathrooms, lobby, and front desk.

Possibly. You can email us directly at graciejiujitsuaurora@gmail.com. Due to limited numbers (due to Covid 19) we may not have the space. Once Covid restrictions lighten up we always welcome friends. Referrals are our number one source of business.

Jiu-jitsu is designed to empower the weak against the strong and there are no physical prerequisites to get started. Literally ANYONE can learn jiu-jitsu especially when taught the Gracie way!

No. We operate on a first-name basis and a handshake.

T-Shirt, shorts or athletic pants if they don’t have a uniform. Uniform and gear will be available in the pro shop or online. You can purchase a Gi at the Gracie University store here https://store.gracieuniversity.com/

Fully vaccinated students are no longer required to wear a mask. If you have not vaccinated then we ask that students wear a mask.

Our friendly, energetic kids’ instructors will get your child acquainted with the class structure, which includes two sections of technique standing and ground, warm-ups and active games. We will have several instructors in each class, so all the kids are supervised and receive enough individual attention.
