From the reviews
Marco Almeida is one of best instructors I have had the pleasure of being coached by. He has blessed Parker, CO by opening up a facility that will not only teach you the highest levels of Jiu Jitsu but help you become a better person in the process. Be sure to come and visit! Oss
I cannot express how grateful we are for Bulls Jiu Jitsu and Professor Marco! My son, who was not even 4 years old when he started, had the amazing opportunity to try Jiu Jitsu early (technically you need to be 4 when you start) and the experience has been nothing short of transformative.
My Son has been attending Bulls Jiu Jitzu consistently for the past six months. He was a student of Marco at another gym and we followed him to this new gym as many of his students have. Professor Marco’s system is kid friendly and focuses on youth character, technique, and martial arts development.
I visited Bulls BJJ in Parker as a drop-in visitor, and was impressed. From the moment I walked in, I found a warm, welcoming, and family-friendly atmosphere that makes it easy for anyone to feel at home on the mats. Professor Marco is a top-tier instructor.
New to BJJ? Start at Bulls Jiu Jitsu Colorado
Bulls Jiu Jitsu Colorado 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 Bulls Jiu Jitsu Colorado
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.
