From the reviews
I came across a YouTube video of a 1st amendment auditor going around filming public places and he came across this gym. I was blown away by how kind and informative the owner’s son was. Not only did the owners son respect the citizens rights to film on the public sidewalk, he basically invited him in with a smile.
Very welcoming gym with top notch instructors for all abilities. I have really enjoyed training here and getting to know everyone in the community after transferring from a much larger school. Definately worth trying out 303!
This place has been amazing in all aspect of my life. The coaches are all amazing and they truly care about you, mentally and physically. They are giving me confidence, as a female, to feel safer in this crazy world. I love me some lunch time Jiu Jitsu!
Such a welcoming gym. Came here to train with my younger brother while on vacation and had a blast! Coaches are supportive and encourage getting extra work after practice. I’ll come back if in town!
New to BJJ? Start at 303 TRAINING CENTER (ARVADA BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU)
303 TRAINING CENTER (ARVADA BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU) comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at 303 TRAINING CENTER (ARVADA BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU)
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
