I have a 7 year old boy that enrolled one of they class. And Im so glad. My son learnig more than I was expecting!! The teachers are so kind and responsible... i highly recomend
well done coach Matheus. 100% satisfaction.
Wonderful family-friendly jiu jitsu academy! Our child has been a student here for a few years and has learned a great deal about self defense while making new friends. All of the teachers are supportive and inspiring role models and we appreciate that she has learned principles of respect and good sportsmanship through her ongoing practice at this place. There are kids classes offered most days of the week. Highly recommend!
My daughter thrives at this academy. The instructors are patient and seek out the best in each child. The instructors challenge the children to improve while not pushing them too hard. Kind, compassionate and fun. There is a strong sense of community. I’m grateful for the lifelong skills that my daughter is learning and the confidence that she has gained as a result of attending. I highly recommend Colhado BJJ Academy.
My son been training here for a little over a year now, and it's been an incredible journey for him. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to start. As a beginner, he was nervous and didn't want to go, now he has more confidence and look forward to all his classes. I've seen major improvements thanks to Jeff & Kevin.
My son has been doing it for a year since turning 7. It has been a great source of discipline and energy relief. The instructors are amazing with kids and I can see the payoff. My son is small for his age and when he grapples with kids larger than him who have just joined the program he is able to take control and not allow them to use their strength and height to control him.
My teenage son joined starting his freshman year in high school, he’s now senior and enjoys every class he attended. Colhado jiu-jitsu gives him self confidence, self control and discipline he did not fully have before. The family atmosphere of Colhado jiu-jitsu is very welcoming and comfortable setting for kids or adults alike. We would highly recommend and encourage anyone looking to learn self defense to Colhado jiu-jitsu.
My family and I have been coming to Colhado for about 4 years now. The community at Colhado is great. Lots of fun, respectful people that like to roll hard. Lots of respect for each person and great instruction from Professor Matheus, Coach Jeff, and the rest of the black belts at Colhado. Our kids have also learned so much over the last few years and their confidence shows!
I love the family oriented atmosphere they have going on.The coaches here are nice and not harsh on the kids. My little one loves going to class on the weekdays.
