"Jiu Jitsu is the journey not the destination."



MISSION STATEMENT:




Mile high Gracie jiu jitsu trains in real Gracie jiu jitsu. Jiu jitsu is a self-defensive art for everyone not just for mma fighters. Everyone participates in live training; there is no required amount of beginning "classes". Live training is what sets Gracie Jiu jitsu apart from other martial arts. There will never be a situation where someone strength will surprise you. In our regular class there is no striking, speed or takedowns, nothing to be intimidated of. No one at Mile high has attitude or ego. Although we recommend Gi training any technique can easily be applied to no Gi. Jiu Jitsu requires no effort in its purest form, and is excellent for core muscles, cardio and mental health.

The academy's curriculum is divided into monthly units. The beginning of the month is a breakdown of the position, and good habits. Progressing to more advanced concepts, eventually building to a submission towards the end of the month. The month long focus gives our students a lot of different approaches to a position. A lot of repetition makes sure you will not forget a move or position and allows you time to work it into your game.

Everyone should be able to practice jiu jitsu in a fun and relaxed family friendly environment.
