We've been happy with the kids coaches. They keep the classes fun. We were at a different Gracie school before and we're glad we came here.

Amazing family oriented gym where both kids and adults can get great Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training. Coach Jen is awesome and very welcoming and Professors Colin and John and very knowledgeable and provide great instruction. I had the pleasure of training here during my time in Colorado and I would highly recommend GB Parker to anyone looking into starting their bjj journey.

We have about 3 full months in so far and it has been a fantastic experience. All of the coaches seem to care deeply about our individual progress and our son who was a die-hard "soccer and screens are my hobbies" kid LOVES to go without complaint. He even reminds us when he has class and helps with laundry to be prepared. He may never compete but I guarantee he is having fun while working hard and that is a massive win. I feel like he is "seen" there and is getting better technique each class and building confidence. The upper belts students in both kid and adult programs are very encouraging and cool people. Highly recommend!

Great team, coaches, etc. Everyone is so positive and encouraging for my newbie teen. All ages participate, lots of individualized, close instruction. My boy is very excited for every class.

We are so thankful that we found this gym. Coach Trey is great with the kids and is very dedicated to their training. He pushes them to challenge themselves, be disciplined, be good teammates and to strive for strong character on and off the mat. You won’t find a better coach anywhere in Colorado! The whole staff is wonderful. This is a great gym for a beginner, an advanced student who competes, and everyone in between.

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at GB Parker. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! GB Parker welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at GB Parker train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
