Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Aurora

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Aurora delivers certified Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defense education at 25400 E Alexander Drive in Aurora, Colorado. Situated at the Southlands location, this Level 4 Certified Gracie Training Center serves practitioners of all ages and backgrounds across Aurora and surrounding Colorado communities. The curriculum preserves the defensive philosophy established by the Gracie family through structured, cooperative learning. Adult beginner students start in the Gracie Combatives program, mastering essential positional maneuvers and distance-management techniques to neutralize violent street encounters safely. Younger students participate in the Gracie Bullyproof curriculum to develop verbal assertiveness, posture, and non-violent physical restraint skills. The school also offers the specialized Women Empowered course and the advanced Master Cycle. Instruction is directed by Professor Tony, a second-degree black belt who began training in November 1993, alongside Women Empowered head instructor Tanya and certified coaches. Training prioritizes technique, safety, and mutual encouragement over brute athleticism. Residents of Aurora and nearby Colorado communities can visit the Southlands academy to observe classes and begin an introductory trial.
