Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Boulder

Flynn Burlew

Flynn started as a little tiger in Eliot Marshall's first Boulder kids classes and grew up on the mats. He leads Boulder BJJ. "You are only a pacifist if you are capable of violence."

Daniel Steele

Daniel got pulled off the sidewalk outside the original Boulder school and never looked back. He coaches gi and no-gi at Boulder. "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."

Amal Easton

Amal spent three and a half years in Brazil training with the Gracie family before bringing the art back to Colorado and opening Easton Training Center in 1998. A long-time Thai boxing practitioner, he built Muay Thai into the curriculum from the day the school opened.

Alex Huddleston

A personal trainer whose friend told him he was too big not to be fighting, Alex started in that friend's garage in 2009, fought MMA for a few years, and stayed with jiu jitsu. He runs Easton's jiu jitsu program across every academy. “The process doesn't have to always feel great to be productive.”
