Services
Like all martial arts, Judo is made up of ranks which correspond to belt color. Beginners start at the first level or white belt. In order to move up the ranks, participants must take rank examinations. These examinations consist of a written test and a practical test in which testers must perform the skills required to achieve the rank for which they are testing.

I was in town visiting and wanted to keep training. The instruction is excellent and the culture is top notch! The facility is great with plenty of crash pads and spring floors. I’ve been able to travel to several dojos in the past couple years and this is by far my favorite gym away from home!

I have never met a group of people more dedicated to embracing the spirit of mutual welfare and benefit. They’re a great community that support your endeavors both on and off the mat. The prices are low because the aim isn’t profit but mutual betterment and a shared love of combat sports. No matter where you’re on your journey, even if you’re just starting or had a break, Denver Judo is an excellent place to train and grow.

I have been a Denver Judo student for 3 years. It is simply the best school to practice both Judo and Jiu-jitsu in Denver. The senseis and instructors are quite diverse (young to seasoned, from various parts of the US, Olympic medalists, retired military, law enforcement, engineers, etc).
Classes are very friendly and accommodating to new-comers and also challenging to experienced judoka, jiu jitsokas, and grapplers. It is a great and safe atmosphere for women and children.
I have practiced at several MMA and jiu jitsu gyms in the Denver area and nothing compares to the respectful, honest, family

When I first started at Denver Judo, I could only attend one practice a week; I was so out of shape that it took almost a full week between practices to recover. But I stuck with it, and my experience has been life changing. The coaches and instructors are phenomenal. At just about any class you attend, there are athletes and instructors who have experience competing at a national, international or Olympic level.
The value at Denver Judo is also remarkable, offering classes every day of the week. For a low monthly price, you can attend unlimited Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes, something

CHANGED MY LIFE
I walked into this place barely knowing what judo was and a couple years later am loving it. It's the ultimate martial art and self improvement tool. The instructors are gracious and inviting, and have serious clout in the art. You need to work for belt ranks but it's accessible and rewarding.
Check them out! You can also train BJJ under a great black belt with your club membership.

Denver Judo is a great place to train. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and fun, but the ranks are heavily stacked with seasoned and accomplished competitors who are more than willing to help out the lower belts. Denver Judo offers BJJ in addition to Judo, which produces well rounded grapplers. Among its many members are a wide variety of skill levels and weight classes, but they're all willing to train hard and help out. This is not a for profit dojo, so the price is as low as you'll find anywhere in Denver, yet the training is certainly top notch. Highly recommended, regardless of where you

I do BJJ here at Denver Judo and some of the important things I look for in a gym are the quality of learning I can gain and am I surrounded by good vibes and people. Everyone here, new or present, have an eagerness to learn and better their craft and also want everyone else around them to get better as well. BJJ here is top of the line with a black belt coach and others to teach us the most effective and efficient BJJ.

This is a great school and community of people dedicated to improving themselves and each other through the study of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo. As a nonprofit club, rather than a for-profit business, it is also by far the most affordable place to train BJJ in Denver. Black belt instructors who are highly skilled at teaching and coaching, and classes and sparring sessions available 7 days a week.

I loved this place, I came here just for a visit and I was impressed, they have a nice facility. Alyssa and Howie are awesome, they go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, they are great communicating and teaching techniques. There are just not that many places where you can train BJJ and Judo at the same location. They are definitely a hidden gem in Colorado. Highly recommend them.

The instruction is Excellent!! This club is filled with top level player's. I set out to do BJJ at first, but found this school/club. They are very welcoming and have the best attitude toward new students. A lot of BJJ school's I went to were not as warm. Judo is very competitive and a very good work out. I roll with wrestler's and BJJ students all the time and have had no problem's keeping up with either. Another great thing is they are not out to get your money, unlike other martial arts schools these day's. They stay very true to the heart of Judo. I am proud to be apart
