Train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Easton Denver

Our Denver Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program runs from true-beginner fundamentals to advanced and competition training. No experience needed to start — most people walk in having never grappled, and experienced grapplers get a room full of training partners to push them.

Easton Denver trains in the Renzo Gracie → Amal Easton → Eliot Marshall lineage — and Eliot, a UFC veteran and co-owner of Easton, teaches no-gi here on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Its GM is Carlos Espinosa, an IBJJF Open champion and a black belt under Eliot. It's a full jiu jitsu program from fundamentals through competition, and Denver is home to Easton's only MMA program.

What Denver Members Say

525+ Google reviews · Easton Denver

I have been training BJJ at Easton almost a year and a half now. I came in with zero martial arts experience, and everyone from the front desk staff, to the coaches, and the other students have made me feel incredibly welcomed and excited to come back almost every day. It is extremely hard to find a community like that these days, and I am incredibly grateful to be a part of that. Aside from the great community, the instruction is phenomenal. My skill set has increased incredibly and my body is moving in ways that I didn't think I would see. I don't think any of this would be possible without the emphasis on safety while training that evident in every class. I couldn't recommend Eason Training Center enough for anyone that is interested in BJJ or Muay Thai.

A phenomenal bjj gym. They have a modern training style that clearly works based on the students' talent. There's a variety of classes throughout the day for all ages and skill levels, so there's something for everyone. The gym is very welcoming and you should train there if you have the opportunity.
