Northern Colorado Jiu Jitsu and Self Defense

I had been wanting to try out jiu-jitsu for quite awhile but was very apprehensive about getting started and did not know where to begin.My wife ran into one of the instructors and threw my name out there. I contacted Matt and was assured they would work with me at my own pace.i set up an appointment for my first class and became instantly hooked.If you are suffering from any sort of ailment from PTSD to depression this is the sport for you, and the best gym you could possibly play jiu-jitsu in Colorado!Try one class and you will become instantly hooked as well!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at NoCo Jiu Jitsu. The atmosphere that has been established here is welcoming, patient, supportive, knowledgeable all while being challenging physically and mentally. I recommend NoCo Jiu Jitsu to all levels of experience, age groups, and physical abilities.

We just absolutely love it here! My daughter just started and she already loves it. Everyone there has been beyond helpful, not only with us, but with each other. You can see the genuine care they have for everyone who is there, if that is a student or a parent with questions. It's amazing how they are willing to take the time to discuss anything with you and are very open. I would recommend this place to anyone!!! Thank you all so much for the care you have for your students!!!

I highly recommend this academy. I have had opportunities to experience other gyms and Northern Colorado Jiu Jitsu is impressive. Great instructors who are very friendly and provide a welcoming environment. Quality training and curriculum for self defense and law enforcement.

Great environment! Everyone you meet here is super friendly, and happy that you show up to class! No matter how nervous you are to start training, they make you feel comfortable! Everyone you work with makes sure that you're understanding everything they are teaching you, and they love when you ask questions. I would highly recommend Northern Colorado Jiu Jitsu!

My family has been training at Northern Colorado Jiu Jitsu since about the time it opened and we have loved it. My kids have trained at 3 other dojos and like this one the best for several reasons. The training is focused on self defense as well as the sport of Jiu Jitsu. I started training about 6 months ago and love to have training that can be used right away. Matt and Troy spend part of each lesson teaching techniques that can be used if I ever need to protect myself or my family. They are expert teachers and go out of their way to make new students feel welcome. The other students are friendly and do enjoy helping each other improve.

They do an amazing job here and all the instructors are very knowledgeable in jujitsu . I can confidently call everyone here my family. This is great organization where I can bring my children. I highly recommend this place.

Over the past 15 years I have studied and instructed multiple different arrest control/self defense systems, including Krav Maga, KOGA, PPCT, and FBI just to name a few. I have only been training Jiu Jitsu with Matt and Troy for about a year and half now but I can say, without reservation, that I am significantly more confident and capable when it comes to defending myself on the street or effecting an arrest of a physically resisting suspect. There are many good Jiu Jitsu schools in the area, but the passion and dedication that Matt and Troy both bring to teaching their students a practical and functional martial art that absolutely translates into a real world street application can not be matched!

Northern Colorado Jiu Jitsu is a great place to learn and strive to better yourself. It does not matter what level you’re at only that you come ready to be challenged to grow and help support others. I love this place.

I was always hesitant to try jiu jitsu because of past teaching practices I had seen at other gyms that made me uncomfortable and wary. Matt and Troy create an environment that makes it comfortable as a woman to learn this martial art from a man. They always make sure that I feel comfortable, and they teach at a good pace, making sure that everything is understood. I love that they are working on a women's self defense program for those of us who are more interested in that aspect of jiu jitsu, and I am thrilled that they also offer a children's program, and a police/first responder program!
