Lakewood Jiu Jitsu Academy, the best BJJ in Lakewood, began holding classes this week in our new facility located at 10800 W. Alameda Ave., Lakewood, Colorado! The new facility has over 1100 sq ft of brand new jiu jitsu mats that are extra thick and more comfortable for training throws and takedowns.

Upon completion, the new jiu jitsu training facility will have showers and will offer healthy smoothie and juice options for post training health and nutrition.

On Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 10:00am, the Lakewood martial arts community will be treated to a 2 1/2 hour free seminar in Gracie Combatives self-defense. This seminar will be a detailed introduction to Gracie Combatives for all levels. Beginners to jiu jitsu, karate students, tae kwon do students, or students who train at a Lakewood sport BJJ gym who want to experience jiu jitsu as a martial art, are all welcome to attend. This will be the “hard” grand opening for the new academy!

There will be more detailed promotions and a link to register for the free seminar coming in the next week or two.

Starting in May, Lakewood Jiu Jitsu Academy will introduce fitness training classes that utilize resistance equipment to enhance the motor movements essential to jiu jitsu. Stay tuned for more details about these self-fitness opportunities. Professor Jim Medley, who holds black belts in Japanese jūjitsu and Gracie jiu jitsu, is also certified in Personal Training, Tactical Fitness, Cardio Kickboxing, and Sports Nutrition.

We look forward to seeing everyone in May 2025!!
