Rad Muay Thai Fitness & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Rad Muay Thai Fitness & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Aurora, Colorado was founded by Krufessor Radcliff Durousseau, who brings a unique blend of experience as both a Muay Thai Kru and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Professor Henry Matamoros. Rad’s journey began in bodybuilding and triathlon, ultimately shifting toward martial arts after a life-changing eye condition and corneal transplant. His competitive achievements in BJJ, including multiple divisional and absolute titles, reflect a deep commitment to the art, while his years of training and coaching at American Top Team Altitude and under Master Hung D. Tran of the Tran Muay Thai Association have shaped the academy’s technical and disciplined approach. The coaching team at Rad Muay Thai & BJJ is built from within, with instructors like Jeff Armstrong, Carolyne Ochieng, and Luis Pacheco Jr. each bringing their own athletic backgrounds and stories of personal transformation. All instructors are trained to integrate functional strength and conditioning with martial arts, emphasizing efficient movement and athlete development. The academy’s philosophy centers on practical skill-building and self-improvement, with a strong focus on helping everyday people experience the physical and mental benefits of martial arts training—whether they are aspiring competitors or simply looking to challenge themselves. Students at Rad Muay Thai & BJJ can train in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai, with structured programs for adults and a dedicated youth BJJ class in the gi. The schedule also features open mat sessions for BJJ, fitness bootcamps, and sparring opportunities. The facility is wheelchair accessible and welcomes drop-ins for most classes. The culture is shaped by a hands-on, progression-focused teaching style, and the academy maintains a team atmosphere that supports both beginners and experienced athletes.
