    • Lakewood Jiu Jitsu has been exactly what I was looking for! Unlike other schools that prioritize competition, they offer a comprehensive self-defense curriculum through the Gracie system. I appreciate the organized program and the amazing video library that helps me learn effectively!

    • I joined for a Gracie Combatives class and had a great time! Professor Medley is a great instructor and had lots of useful details to help make the moves we practiced intuitive. I would highly recommend giving his classes a try!

      Travis Cophenhaver
    • Highly recommended! In Denver on business and was able to join a class here. Professor Medley has a deep, exceptional self-defense / martial arts / BJJ background. He applies his knowledge as a thoughtful, top tier instructor. As this is a new academy, a local area student has a phenomenal “ground floor” opportunity to train closely with this unique talent.
