From the reviews
The Pueblo community is fortunate to have this school. The coaches are highly knowledgeable and very passionate about their art. The members are very welcoming and treat you with respect from the moment you walk in the gym. I can’t recommend this gym enough.
I have been with Humble Heathen for over a year now. There’s so much to say about the great Professors, Coaches (instructors), and fellow students that have positively impacted my health and well-being. My favorite class is Friday evenings instructed by an exceptional coach, Amanda Wilson.
Great place ! As a practitioner of jiujitsu since 2011 I have to say training here was a Breath of fresh air and a very welcoming experience. Will definitely pass by again I’ve visited a lot of dojos and this place really makes you feel at home ! Pass by, check it out, and see for yourself !
Chris is an amazing instructor and truly cares about people learning and developing on his mat. The facility is incredibly clean and well taken care of. The best thing about learning BJJ here is he give you a five day trial period.
New to BJJ? Start at Humble Heathen Jiu Jitsu
Humble Heathen Jiu Jitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Humble Heathen 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.
