Grand Valley Brazilian BJJ

Grand Valley Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has been part of the Grand Junction and Clifton area since 2013, founded by Kevin Lewis after his years in the Air Force Reserve and law enforcement. What began as a handful of students in a local gym quickly grew into a dedicated academy with over 20 black belts and a coaching team that includes seasoned competitors, world champions, and experienced instructors. The school’s steady growth and commitment to the region led to a recent expansion, now serving nearly 300 students and operating two locations. Training at Grand Valley BJJ is structured to support every stage of development, from the Little Ninjas program for ages 4–7, to Warrior Kids, teens, and a deep roster of adult classes. The adult BJJ curriculum covers beginner through advanced gi classes, no-gi, and competition training with coach approval, alongside regular open mat sessions for both gi and no-gi. The academy also offers a free women’s-only BJJ class for members and non-members alike. In addition to jiu-jitsu, students can train in Muay Thai kickboxing (with both adult and kids classes), MMA, and invite-only Muay Thai sparring, reflecting the school’s broader martial arts foundation. The team at Grand Valley BJJ is known for individualized instruction and a hands-on approach, ensuring every student, regardless of rank or background, receives meaningful feedback and opportunities to grow. The curriculum emphasizes technical progression, purposeful drilling, and live training, all within an environment that values discipline and support. Throughout the year, students also benefit from seminars and visits by BJJ world champions and UFC fighters, bringing a wide range of perspectives to the mats. Grand Valley BJJ’s roots in the local community and commitment to quality instruction have made it a longstanding home for martial artists of all ages in western Colorado.
