What Denver Members Say

550+ 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.”
Clayton V.Jiu Jitsu · Posted on Google
“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.”
Conroy B.Jiu Jitsu · Posted on Google
“Top tier BJJ program led by Profs Carlos and Eliot. Multiple class offerings for different skill levels(gi+no gi) ensure beginners and more experienced people get the instruction/training they are looking for”
