Lakewood Jiu Jitsu Academy is excited to announce that our new jiujitsu training/ fitness facility will be opening in May 2025 in the heart of Lakewood! Our new facility will offer some exciting upgrades:
- Over 1100 sq ft of mat space
- 2″ thick mats for safe practice of falling/ throwing techniques (most BJJ gyms have only 1 1/2″ mats)
- Clean restrooms with showers
- A fitness facility with at least six resistance machines that are all relevant to tactical fitness/ self-defense movements.
- Expanded class offerings including morning Gracie Combatives self-defense classes and Gracie Bullyproof for children will be forming soon!Shortly after its launch, the new Lakewood Jiu Jitsu Academy location will host
Samurai Smoothie!! Samurai Smoothie will offer health-focused smoothies made with entirely fresh fruits and vegetables. Health supplements such as protein, creatine, vitamins, antioxidants, and recovery/ inflammation supplements (like glucosamine and CBD) will also be offered as options.
The fitness opportunities, and the availability of immediate healthy alternatives to stopping off at Taco Bell on the way home from jiu jitsu training, will empower students to better manage their time and health. Carlos, Hélio, and Rorion Gracie all stressed the importance of nutrition in preparing your body to live a long life with a healthy body that will keep you living and loving life well into older age.
Of course, Lakewood Jiu Jitsu Academy will continue to be the only Gracie University Certified Training Center in Lakewood, Colorado. We will offer jiu jitsu self-defense classes that are safe, based on a structured curriculum, and taught with proven instructional techniques that bring students to self-defense mastery in the shortest time possible. This year marks the 100th anniversary since the first Gracie jiu jitsu school opened in Brazil to share the magic of jiu jitsu with the world!
