I can’t say enough good things about this place! From day one, the coaches were welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient. The training environment is safe but still pushes you to grow, whether you’re brand new or have years of experience. The community here is amazing — everyone is respectful, encouraging, and genuinely wants to see each other improve. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has a great vibe. If you’re looking to learn jiu-jitsu in Lakewood, this is the spot!
Posted 1 year agoPlease give this place a try! The instructors are super friendly and professional. They are all attentive and knowledgeable about what they teach us. I usually feel intimidated when trying new bjj places but everyone has been welcoming since I started. What tops it off is their humor. What better place to go to than a place where you can train, grow, and have a good laugh while you’re at it.
Posted 1 year agoI’ve been to a few gyms, and Imperial Jiujitsu and Kickboxing really stands out. The coaches are approachable, know their stuff, and actually take the time to help you improve. The people training here are friendly and focused, which makes the vibe super motivating. It’s a great spot whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up your skills. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for solid training.
Posted 1 year agoA friend recommended Imperial Jiujitsu and Kickboxing to me, and I’m so glad I took her advice. From the moment I walked in, the coaches and members were incredibly welcoming and professional. The instructors are not only skilled and knowledgeable, but they also take the time to ensure you’re learning proper technique, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has everything you need for serious training. What really stands out, though, is the positive and respectful atmosphere. You feel like part of a community here, not just another face in the gym. Whether you're looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or take your jiujitsu or kickboxing to the next level, Imperial is the place to be. Highly recommend!
Posted 1 year agoWhat a great place to train at or catch an open mat. Super cool pit area that you can utilize for you pit wall game or you can smash some bags too! Highly recommend coming by to check out!
Posted 1 year agoI loved training at Imperial! I brought my friends to try out bjj and Muay Thai. Duc and the rest of the coaches could not have been more welcoming and attentive. I felt like part of a family here even though we had only gone to a few classes. I highly recommend anyone interested to do a week trial of classes (love that they have judo!)
Imperial Jiu Jitsu is one of the best new martial arts training centers, offering a variety of disciplines, including Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, Kickboxing, and MMA. The coaches are motivated, patient, knowledgeable, and passionate, providing professional guidance from start to finish. They also have a great kids’ program, making it an excellent choice for all ages. I highly recommend asking for Duc and giving Imperial Jiu Jitsu a try!
Fantastic gym, fantastic owners, great community and culture.
Not only is the facility top notch, the instructors too! I can't say enough about the nurturing and supportive environment.
Amazing experience with an amazing team! Will always recommend and they’re always so present and patient with you with learning!
Imperial- you must go try it out, one class and you’ll love it. Everyone there is knowledgeable, friendly and easygoing. Tea is a great couch, highly recommend

Can't say enough good things about this BJJ academy! From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly welcomed. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive, which makes it a great place for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. The building itself is fantastic—spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The open layout provides plenty of room to roll and train comfortably, and you can tell that the team takes pride in keeping the space spotless and organized.
Beautiful, spacious, and most importantly very clean facilities. Incredibly welcoming and kind staff. 10/10
Great atmosphere, Great coaches, Great partners.
It's really cool I'm in Jujitsu the coaches are really cool I would definitely recommend going there
I'm very happy with all the coaches. They have taught me many things and they always want us to learn in the right way.
It doesn’t get any better than this gym. The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. Family like environment. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone.
The staff is very welcoming and friendly. Great atmosphere to train and the instructors are very knowledgeable and dedicated towards the students.The facility is exceptionally clean. Great place to train 🤙
Both my kids have been training at Imperial the last 8 months with Coach Jake. We could not be happier. This is a welcoming and family friendly environment that rivals any gym in the Denver metro area.
My first 2 weeks here have been amazing and the teachers are so nice. They are very hands on and work us hard but in a way that is productive.
Imperial is a wonderful family-friendly community with top-notch instruction and excellent facilities. They offer gi and no gi, muay thai, judo, and excellent kids classes.
Stopped by Imperial as a drop-in while I was in town for work. Had an amazing experience! Everyone was super friendly and I learned a few new techniques. If I lived in this area I’d definitely be a member. I highly recommend Imperial Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing!
Awesome gym, clean equipment, great atmosphere and everyone was very welcoming. Duc was very patient with me as I am a beginner learning BJJ. Highly recommended.
Great welcoming environment from brand new beginners to longtime practioners. Prof. Cano and coaches are down to earth, supportive, respectful and really invest time to anyone who trains. Highly recommend!
The coaches at this gym truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed, valued, and respected. Their classes for both adults and kids are exceptional. Coach Duc ensures every class is enjoyable, often adding a bit of humor to the mix. Coach Cano tailors his approach to meet each student's needs, whether you're a seasoned practitioner or stepping onto the mat for the first time. Coach Jake is dedicated to transforming kids into confident young warriors. Unlike bigger gyms where you might feel overlooked, this gym genuinely cares about your growth and prepares you for your jiu-jitsu goals. As a female, I've found this gym to have the most women in BJJ classes that I've ever seen, all eager to train and support each other. They offer 6 a.m. classes for early risers, as well as afternoon and evening sessions, making it easy to fit training into any schedule. I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing the benefits of this gym for yourself.
I'm so happy that I get to train here! The instruction is top-tier and the judo program is deep but approachable. There's a strong and super welcoming women's team, and the overall community is just warm and chill. The coaches care a lot about their students and their goals (whether it's preparing for a specific competition, or improving a game). My jujitsu has improved a ton in a short period of time. I can't honestly can't recommend them enough.
Been training here for two months and its excellent, very professional and clean. The coaches are wonderful and well educated on BJJ, Judo and Kickboxing. I'm still a beginner and they are great with new people and vets for that matter, great gym with great coaching.
Imperial had one of the largest number of black belts i’d seen in a gym as well as numerous very skilled practitioners. The environment was extremely welcoming and as someone with very limited jiu jitsu, I was helped out almost immediately without judgement. Overall very cool gym :)
Friendly and non-judgmental atmosphere making it a great place for anyone from a beginner to expert level to train and learn! Very clean, has changing rooms (!!), and small area for weight-training if you want to get a pump in too!
I would highly recommend coming to this gym!! As a first timer, I was warmly welcomed and felt comfortable learning from these dedicated and highly experienced instructors. Definitely a must go!!!
Great place for beginners, and also amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend checking it out.
Awesome place for a newbie. Everyone was welcoming here and very supportive! Will enjoy on coming here!!!
These guys are the real deal!!! So proud of how far duc aka duke has come!!! I’ve trained with him in the past at peak and this guy is such a humble and down to earth individual who is constantly striving to be the best. Congratulations on your journey brother you guys are going to kill it!!!
As a FEMALE three-time world champion brown belt, I've found this place to be exceptional. The facility is impeccably CLEAN, and the black belt instructor, Matt Cano, is incredibly knowledgeable—one of a kind in Denver. The friendly atmosphere and respectful treatment from everyone make it a standout gym. Importantly, I appreciate that the environment here ensures a positive experience, especially in terms of respectful interactions. Highly recommend for both beginners and seasoned competitors!
Professor Cano is an incredible instructor. Im excited to be part of the Academy and I’m excited for it’s future.
I highly reccomend this gym! It has a great atmospher and instructors. I would come back again to see what else they have to offer
Matthew and Duc have very quickly created a welcoming, skilled, and beautiful space to learn. The coaches are competition experienced, and the instruction is clear and competent. Whether you’re brand new to combat sports or an experienced fighter, this will prove to be a valuable community to be a part of.
Excellent instruction from professor Cano. And! You might get to meet the legendary Kurt Osiander.
A very dedicated group of individuals over at Imperial Jiu Jitsu! It’s a great facility with years of experience driving the curriculum. High quality equipment, clean and welcoming atmosphere. High level practitioners to entry level beginners will benefit from the community being built at Imperial!
Great gym, and fun atmosphere. Alot of knowledgeable people on the mats as well as great curriculum
Friendly atmosphere, clean gym, great instruction! Highly recommend you check out Imperial Jiujitsu and Kickboxing if you’re interested in learning, or looking for a new academy to train at!
This gym is by far the most welcoming and easy to get started as a beginner in BJJ, compared to all the gyms I've tried so far. Everybody's got a great attitude, and the mood at the community is very positive. Trainers were great too and I never felt like I was left hanging into things I didn't feel prepared for. A member of the team even gave me a 1 on 1 lesson in order for me to learn basic techniques ahead of my introductory class. Would recommended it to anybody.
Great gym with extremely knowledgeable and experienced instructors with a great atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back with this overall 10/10 experience.
The gym has a great atmosphere and the instructors are top notch! Definitely worth checking out and trying what the gym has to offer! 10/10 would go again!
Very nice gym and great instructors! I had a great experience and will definitely be returning.
