Dropped in for my first class here today and had such a great time! Everyone had a great attitude and was very welcoming. Mike did a fantastic job on his teachings and instructions. I will be returning soon and definitely recommend this gym to everybody interested in Jiujitsu!
My kids love Aurora BJJ! The coach's are awesome and patient. 2 1/2 years no complaints.
My husband has trained at this school for over a year now, and has become a second family of ours. We love Aurora BJJ!
My family and I absolutely love this place, it's amazing and the people are even better. Get your kids involved in a sport/activity/lifestyle that will do so much more for them than a ball sport. Plus it's also all year around and not seasonal like those other sports. It's a release that your child needs and it's discipline that they crave. Come in a try it out for free, and see what you think.
The instructors at Aurora BJJ are amazing and care about the safety and well being of their students. Mike and Sammie are great with kids of all ages. I consider myself a patient person, they are more patient. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained. Cleanliness and hygiene are a priority for them. The students are all stand-up great people in the community. Some love competing, others don't. All are equal. It's a very welcoming environment and questions are encouraged. Many of us are in our 30's and 40's. My kids have been practicing jiu-jitsu for 4 years now and absolutely love it. They are constantly being challenged and have shown great growth. I have been practicing for 2 1/2 years now. Other facilities may be closer (I drive from a neighboring town), but can't imagine changing.
Have trained here for over a year & only had positive experiences. Great place to be a beginner or seasoned grappler. Very welcoming environment also. Great instructors, great people, and great training partners.
I’ve been training here for about 3 years now. It’s a great facility filled with amazing people! Professor Mike is a great teacher for both kids and adults. If you’re looking for a place to grow your jiujitsu this is definitely the place! Also we have several women who train here if there are any ladies looking to start their self defense journey!
If you want to come and meet some great people, learn a new sport, learn self defense, and maybe get into a little better shape, this is the place! Wonderful coaching and it doesn’t matter if you’re brand new, or a seasoned pro. Everyone is treated very respectfully and it’s always a lot of fun!
My son started here 2 months ago and they are the best! He's learned so much in his time there and it's because of his dedicated and knowledgeable coaches. Their kids program is wonderful and I'd recommend to anyone!
Awesome place to train. Great coaches, both for kids and adults. The community here is amazing! Everyone is looking out for others and helping each other grow. Never felt like I was belittled or to "get better." If you are looking for a safe, positive, and family friendly place to train, whether your just getting started or have years of experience Aurora BJJ is the place to go!
Great people, great atmosphere and outstanding instructors! Their kids program is amazing. Highly recommend training with them.
Great place for you or your kids to learn/practice BJJ. Dedicated owners that are always pulling for their students to succeed. They also understand life happens and youth sports can take you in another direction, but are always so welcoming when time allows you to return.
My wife, daughter, and myself have been training at Aurora bjj for 3.5 years and i can safely say that Aurora bjj is the best in the area. It’s very rare to have a jiujitsu school with a husband and wife duo who can offer such great detail in jiujitsu and self defense. Professor Micheal Gerlach and Sammie Jo Gerlach are an awesome couple who have a vast amount of knowledge in this martial art while mixing others like Judo and wrestling for a well rounded experience. From toddlers class to adult competition class and everything in between. Theres plenty of awesome people to learn and roll with so If you’re anybody, nobody or somebody then this place is for you.
The place has a great instructor and high level jiu jitsu
So wife and i did martial arts foe many years my 4 year old daughter wanted to do some after seeing my wifes belts and after going over opinions reserch etc etc we ended up at Aurora BJJ total game changer she is now 6 so shes been thier a minute goes every day loves it thier its definitely her 2nd home great people thier great people to meet thier great family oriented atmosphere its good to have your child to be welcomed somewhere and be apart of something positive one of the best decisions i made was going to this specific place for my child great self Confidence booster too you wont find a better place around and i believe this to mike and sammi my daughter loves you guys and thank you for all that you do
Our whole family of 8 train here. Great place. Great people. Great Jiu-Jitsu. -Dan
Incredible academy to really learn the art of BJJ. I only got to spend a couple months learning from Mike and the rest of the family there but will definitely be back with my son as he gets older.
The facility is always clean! The coaches from kids to adults are highly skilled and knowledgeable in the art. Jiu-jitsu has helped my daughter and I gain confidence while learning a skill set that could potentially save our lives if an incident were to occur. Everyone is welcoming with a family atmosphere.
Everything you could hope for in an academy. Very knowledgeable instructors and team mates who come to feel like a second family.
Great programs for adults and kids, clean facility, and excellent coaching! Mike is the best!!
Great facility with very knowledgeable instructors and a welcoming environment.
Mike is a very good instructor! The facility is always clean and there is a ton of classes you can attend! Everyone there is super friendly and my son LOVES it! I can’t say enough good things about Aurora BJJ. My son has attended for 6 months now and has learned so much! It was a great decision to enroll in their classes! I would TOTALLY recommend it!
If you are looking for a second family and a place to grow your skills or to just have more confidence I highly recommend Aurora bjj. Mike is a top notch instructor for you or your kids.
Very good black belt instruction. Very fun environment that makes you feel welcome.
