BJJ GROUNDS

BJJ GROUNDS in Denver centers its mission around Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for adults and kids, with a special focus on the BJJAfter40 movement. While the academy’s founder and head instructor aren’t named on the site, the gym emphasizes training where this particular movement originated, blending martial arts with family-oriented activities. Alongside BJJ classes, the facility includes a play café for children ages 1 to 5 and offers yoga for adults and teens, reflecting a broader approach to health and movement. The academy’s programs extend beyond typical martial arts classes to include structured homeschool physical education and self-defense. These homeschool sessions, held in nearby Lakewood, run in focused six-week blocks and are led by black belts. They combine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques with athletic movement, coordination drills, and confidence-building exercises, tailored for children ages 6 to 12. Enrollment is intentionally limited to maintain quality and provide personal attention, with family discounts available for multiple siblings. Training at GROUNDS includes gi-based Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for all ages, with separate offerings for kids and adults. The environment is wheelchair accessible, and the schedule integrates various complementary disciplines like yoga. This combination of martial arts, physical education, and family-friendly programming shapes the academy’s identity in the Denver area as a place where BJJ practice intersects with community and lifelong movement.
