The Farm BJJ

The Farm Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Fitness in Garden City, Colorado, is led by head instructor and founder Danny Richards, a fourth-degree black belt under the late Octavio “Ratinho” Couto. With over two decades of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, boxing, and Muay Thai, Danny brings a deep lineage that traces back through Romero Cavalcanti and Rolls Gracie to the roots of the art. His background includes coaching at every level—from local students to UFC, RFA, and Bellator fighters—and a long list of competition achievements, including IBJJF podium finishes and national wrestling titles. Classes at The Farm are structured to give adults a complete grappling education. The core Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program covers both fundamentals and advanced techniques, blending modern sport approaches with practical self-defense. Students can train in gi and no-gi formats, attend open mat sessions, and take part in competition-focused practices. The academy also offers judo, submission grappling, dedicated sparring classes, and a strong striking program with Muay Thai and boxing—each taught by experienced coaches. Women’s-only BJJ and Muay Thai classes are held weekly to provide a focused environment for skill-building and fitness. The Farm’s Little Monsters Kids Jiu-Jitsu program is a standout, introducing children to BJJ through age-appropriate drills and games that develop both athletic skills and strong character. Kids’ classes emphasize discipline, respect, and confidence, while also offering Muay Thai to round out their martial arts education. The facility welcomes visitors and drop-ins, and is wheelchair accessible. Whether for competition, self-defense, or personal growth, The Farm provides a place to train seriously under knowledgeable guidance.
