What Denver Members Say
“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.”
“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”
“I have been training at Easton for almost 2 years. This a good, welcoming place. Great instruction from the coaches and super friendly people. Higher belts always feel willing to help you learn. Big shout out to Tim and Rob, they’re the best”
“I’ve been training at Easton Denver for over a year and it is one of the best decisions I’ve made since crossing the 40-year old threshold. From the moment you step into the gym, you can feel that this place is special. The instructors are amazing—super knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help, whether you’re just starting out or you're already experienced.”
“I recently moved to Denver and was looking for jujitsu gyms. I took one of my firsts classes with Josh and it was an amazing experience. He, makes complex techniques easy to understand and creates a welcoming environment. The facilities are top-notch, and the camaraderie among participants is great. Highly recommend if you have two stripes and up to try the 7:30pm class on Tuesdays and Thursdays.”
“I've trained all over the world and Easton has top notch experts teaching and attending classes. Coming new to the gym, I've been really impressed by the community, support, and welcoming spirit. I don't think I've ever left the gym without someone saying goodbye to me by name.”
“Had such a great experience here. Jared helped me learn fundamentals 1:1 before a class and he was so kind and patient with me. He encouraged me to ask questions while breaking down each step and move for me. His explanations made it simple to follow as a beginner. Everyone thoroughly seemed to enjoy the art and were willing to help me learn.”
“I’m not sure I can even put into words how amazing this academy is! I’ve trained at Easton for 4 years and consider it my second home, it’s members are my extended family. The instructors at any of the Easton locations are top tier, and passionate about their craft! As a female I have always felt welcomed and respected as a serious practitioner.”
