The concept of BJJ is that smaller people who are not as strong can defend themselves against a larger, stronger opponent.

This is a great facility with multiple mats to roll at. The class sizes weren't too large unlike most franchise schools where the professor isn't always able to give you their attention. The team and environment that Robert has cultivated there is really friendly and welcoming, even to a drop in like myself. I would definitely recommend this academy to anyone in the area, visiting or otherwise.

I was visiting from out of town and wanted to try and get a training session in over the weekend. Ended up here mainly because it was close to where I was staying and I was so glad I came here to train. I went to a fundamentals class and then stayed for open mat. First off, they had a huge training mat and the entire building was very clean. Robert was the instructor for the day. We went over about 5 different techniques and he was very detailed about each one. Any question that was asked about the technique, Robert provided a full explanation and reason for his answer. All the students were extremely

The academy is a great place to train, whether you are brand new or experienced. The instructors are all experienced competitors and use that wealth of knowledge to inform their teaching. Rob has been involved in developing high-level competitions and tournaments and so has a tong of connections with top athletes. Many elite competitors drop in regularly for class, open mat, or as guest instructors. Don't let this intimidate you, though- the academy has family feel and everyone is welcoming from day one!

Anytime I am in the Denver area for work (from Illinois) I feel very lucky to get to train at the Academy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Arvada.
Professor Wunderlich is very clear in his teaching, progressing learnings in a manageable, but still challenging, way. His enthusiasm is greatly appreciated.
The school has really grown in years, and has nice high ceilings and good air flow. There is also a section for striking classes, and what is impressive is they can do classes concurrently and you cannot even tell another class is going on in the other room, the sound is very well managed.

Did a drop in intermediate session while on vacation and was very pleased with it. Very knowledgeable instruction, very competent and capable students, clean facility, and everyone I met was beyond nice and welcoming. It is a more sport/tournament oriented school from my experience but I only attended one class so that isn't to say that all classes are such.
Overall 10/10, would recommend to anyone looking to do well in tournaments or anyone from a self-defense oriented school looking for some variety.

My bf and I trained at the Academy of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Arvada while on vacation. This is a nice, clean facility with lots of classes on the schedule to choose from. Thanks to their flexible schedule, we were able to fit in a class and an open mat session, alongside all the touristy things we wanted to do.
What a great group of people to train with! Everyone treated us with friendly curiosity, and seemed genuinely interested in helping us improve.

The academy is an awesome place to learn Jiu Jitsu. The instructors are all high level practitioners, and the curriculum is set up for student success. Rob has a lot of connections in the bjj world and will often have other black belts come and teach seminars. People are real friendly overall a great place to train

I moved to Colorado shortly after receiving my black belt. I had a chance to visit many schools in the area prior to choosing ABJJA as my new home. Though many others had great instructors and facilities ABJJA was still a clear choice. The environment and instruction is far above others. Classes are specifically tailored to beginners as well as advanced students. Level of detail that is put into every move as well as the curriculum is gargantuan. I also had a chance to bring some visiting friends to the school and everyone loved the stay. My favorite place to be!

Welcoming environment, with a great group of people who are eager to learn. You get I n depth, clear instructions with a variety of scenarios and multiple options for each. Professor is dedicated to the art and practice of Jiu Jitsu and really only wants for your success! Warning -- once Jiu Jitsu gets into your blood it's highly addictive; you have been warned!
