Golden Jiu Jitsu was founded with one mission: to build a welcoming community that empowers people from all walks of life. We believe that community is the foundation for everything Jiu Jitsu offers — wellness, motivation, confidence, and the kind of stress relief that only comes from hard work on the mats.

We are an American Jiu Jitsu academy — proudly blending tradition with innovation. We honor the roots of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while embracing the freedom to question, adapt, and evolve. Our approach values understanding over memorization, creativity over conformity, and effort over ego.

Our curriculum is designed to help every member progress safely and effectively. We use modern, concept-based instruction that prioritizes real skill development, not just repetition. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defense, or competition, you’ll find a supportive team and expert coaches dedicated to helping you reach it.

Nothing beats training in our beautiful downtown Golden location, with sunlight pouring across our mats and a community that feels like family.

Whether you’re stepping on the mats for the first time or returning to your passion, this is your invitation to start something life-changing.
