Coach Michael Stoller was exposed for stealing money from his students and pocketed cash payments. Was a student for nearly 2 years - myself and many others were defrauded out of thousands due to his greed.

Great atmosphere and excellent instruction. Coach Mike has a ton of experience and his scientific knowledge of the human body is a great asset to learning BJJ. Highly recommend!

Bought the day pass and tried out the Cardio Kickboxing class. Super fun and loved the atmosphere. I was visiting town and Coach Mike and Kelly took the time to give me some recs on local spots to check out. Will definitely drop by again for another class.

I am not a part of the Jiu Jitsu world but I have had the pleasure of having visited the school and found it lovely. The students were open and welcoming and the gym itself is very large and has showers and is easy to access.

I was in town for a conference and was looking to train while I was here and found CU Jiu Jitsu. Everyone was so welcoming and the daypass was perfect for me. The gym is extremely clean and Coach Mike was a great instructor. They even have sweet Lexi the pup there! If I visit this area again, I’m definitely coming back!
