NEW ERA Jiu Jitsu

NEW ERA Jiu Jitsu is guided by Professor Matt, who emphasizes a deep understanding of the concepts behind techniques rather than rote memorization. Located in Northglenn, Colorado, the academy focuses on breaking down why certain submissions and moves work, fostering versatility by applying principles across different positions. This conceptual approach shapes the training experience, encouraging practitioners to adapt techniques such as the triangle from multiple angles like closed guard, side control, and the back. Students at New Era progress through a structured gi curriculum that includes fundamentals and intermediate classes, alongside no-gi sessions covering similar levels and specialized topics like leg locks. The schedule also offers randori and live rolling classes in both gi and no-gi, as well as conditioning sessions to complement technical work. Youth programs serve children from ages four to fifteen with age-appropriate classes named “Lil Jellies” and “Squid Jiu Jitsu,” reflecting a commitment to developing young grapplers. The academy maintains an open mat several times a week for additional practice and welcomes drop-ins. The facility is wheelchair accessible, supporting inclusive training opportunities. Overall, New Era Jiu Jitsu prioritizes a learning environment where technical understanding and personal growth go hand in hand, rooted in clear communication and the sharing of practical knowledge on the mats.
