I have been training Brazilian jiu jitsu for almost two years now with Denver jiu jitsu and Rodrigo Salazar and I hope to be training with Rodrigo Salazar until I get my black belt and beyond, Rodrigo knows the Real Brazilian jiu jitsu self defense that can be used for competition, MMA and real life situations on the streets. I also tried other BJJ schools but not once it was mentioned the self defense aspect of the Brazilian, so I went back to Denver jiu Jitsu and here I am today. that is a peace of advise I give to you if you want to learn some Real Brazilian jiu jitsu come to Denver jiu jitsu.

For anyone who trains jiu jitsu finding the right club is essential. At Denver Jiu-Jitsu you not only will find excellent instruction provided by Rodrigo Salazar but a community of people who embodies the Jiu-Jitsu lifestyle instilled by Rodrigo. I travel for work and thankfully the flexible schedule allows me to train at different times throughout the day. I must mention, the mats are always clean every day. Amazing instruction from Rodrigo, great community, flexible hours, clean mats are a winning combination.

There are three essential qualities to being a good coach: knowledge, the ability to effectively share and communicate that knowledge, and the desire of the coach to make his (or her) students better than him (or her). Professor Rodrigo Salazar brings all these qualities to the academy every time he instructs. Always taking into account the level and background (if any) of the student, Professor Salazar uses a sincere and focused method of instruction with each student every time he teaches. In addition to his abilities and competencies as a coach, the academy itself is always a fun and productive enviroment in which to learn, excel and succeed. The consistent progression his students show is testament to his proficiency as a coach.
