What Boulder Members Say
“Easton Boulder is a fantastic place to train jiu jitsu. Been a member for 6 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Great vibe, coaches, community, and clean mats! Really enjoy the noon classes with Fernie!”
“Amazing, Top Tier martial arts academy in Boulder. I have trained Jiu Jitsu consistently 2-3 days a week for 4.5 years now. My BJJ Journey began at Easton and it will always hold a dear place in my heart. The instruction and culture at Easton is Paramount. You won’t find better people than Elliot Marshall, Matt Bloss, and Mike their President! GODSPEED ETC FAM!”
“Great training environment, stellar systems, and world class instruction. I started my Jiu Jitsu journey in Nashville with Shawn Williams at Renzo Gracie Nashville. When I told him we were moving to Boulder, he said: "Go to Easton. That's where you want to be." So... look no further. This is your spot. Grateful to be a part of the team”
“My wife trained for two int/adv no gi sessions under the instruction of Professor Easton. These classes were some of the best instructions we have ever received. All of the training partners and others throughout the gym were extremely friendly and helpful. We would recommend Easton Training Center-Boulder to anyone looking to train BJJ.”
“I had the opportunity to drop into Easton Boulder and train three days while on a trip through Colorado. The facilities were super nice, lockers, shower, very clean mats and a good setup to keep the funk down. I attended a fundamentals class for beginners even though I've been training almost a decade and found it to be really well done and helpful.”
“I have been at Easton for under a year and I have already seen improvement in my attitude, confidence and even flexibility. The coaches are very knowledgable and willing to share their skills with you personally. It is not a gym that you feel intimidated but rather excepted as an equal to learn. I'm pretty sure I could live there:). - Mason”
“To be honest, becoming a member at Easton has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. I was baffled when I saw how the community embraced new members. I've never felt more accepted in a new environment in my entire life. Words can't describe the kindness and respect that everyone has for each other here.”
On the Mats at Easton Boulder
Train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Easton Boulder
Our Boulder 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.
This is the room Easton started in. Amal Easton opened it in 1998, after three and a half years in Brazil training with the Gracie family and a black belt from Renzo Gracie — the seventh Renzo ever gave — and he still teaches on these mats. So does Alex Huddleston, who runs the jiu jitsu program across every Easton academy and promoted the coaches teaching here, Daniel Steele to black belt among them.
What to Expect on Day One
Your first class is free, and every part of it is built for someone who has never done this before.
