Some of the best instruction in Colorado, let alone Louisville - Boulder area. Great fundamentals as well as the fun advanced stuff. Rob and Fabiana are awesome people as coaches and super welcoming. Also great team environment.

One of the most welcoming gyms I ever been too, in their open mats you will find some of the best grapplers out there not to mention they have one of the best grapplers I ever rolled with as their Coach. Thank you for being there with open doors for those that need it.

Leverage Jiu Jitsu is a very high quality gym run by two amazing Tenth Planet black belts Rob and Fabiana. The instructors and students are all friendly and welcoming and the rolls are tough but safe and fun at the same time! My technique has improved a lot here and I would highly recommend this gym to anyone.

Fabi and Rob run a clinic of masterful Jiu Jitsu techniques! Very clean and very welcoming. Been working with them for years and it goes without saying they know their stuff! Teammates and classmates are always warm and welcoming. A great place to train no matter what skill level you are at. Day one or day 10,000!

Fabiana and Rob are the best instructors. They have a really effective way of providing the important details without it being overwhelming. The gym itself has a very relax atmosphere, but you can still get competitive rolls in.
Absolutely love training here!

As a brown belt who's been grappling a decently long time and dropped into 50+ gyms while traveling, leverage stands out for having some of the highest level training partners I've ever worked with that don't treat training rounds as competition rounds.
Most of the time when I drop into other places I'm worried about injuries from overly enthusiastic students trying to prove how good their gym is, but the members at leverage manage to keep things playful while still giving me incredibly difficult training sessions.
Equally important, the community feels incredibly welcoming and kind. 10/10

Amazing teachers in Rob and Fabi and welcoming community.
A place where all walks of Jiu jitsu thrive. Excellent fundamentals, excellent advanced classes, in my honest opinion two of the best coaches Colorado has to offer(owners Rob Parish and Fabiana Jorge) who have a very detailed and consistent style of teaching that is effective for all styles and levels of Jiu jitsu. I would recommend to anyone looking for a place with great live rolls, amazing classes with great instruction and the best people around to come on and check it out!

If you’re looking for a place that has high level instruction with skilled and friendly partners to train with then look no further. I recently switched gyms due to moving and couldn’t happier.
I've been training at Leverage for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. As a female-owned gym, it’s an incredibly welcoming and supportive environment for everyone. The instructors are skilled, patient, and truly dedicated to helping each student achieve their goals. The sense of community here is fantastic; everyone is friendly and eager to help one another improve. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a great training session. Whether you're looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or compete at a high level, Leverage is the place to be. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in jiujitsu!
I tried out a few gyms around Colorado and this was THE place to train. Real techniques, great high-level people to train with, great instruction. You’re wasting your time training elsewhere! It’s safe, clean and affordable. I highly recommend it, especially if you are new to the sport as you’ll learn the best techniques right from the get go.

Fabi and Rob are amazing instructors and wonderful people. As instructors, they're exceptional - knowledgeable, patient, and motivating. But what truly sets them apart is their warm and welcoming approach, making everyone feel valued and supported. Leverage has a unique energy that's both professional and inclusive, fostering a community that's inspiring and uplifting. Whether you're a beginner or looking to take your skills to the next level, I highly recommend Fabi and Rob's school. They've created a truly special place to learn, grow, and thrive in your jiu-jitsu journey.
I’ve traveled all over the country training jiu jitsu and Leverage is truly something special. Rob and Fabis coaching knowledge and breakdowns of techniques are outstanding. The high level community they’ve built will push you, but still make you feel like you've found home. Could not recommend Leverage Jiu Jitsu enough.

As a newbie to Jiu Jitsu, I was pretty anxious about entering a gym. But man, let me tell you, everyone here is just awesome! From the moment I walked in, they made me feel right at ease. The guys and gals are all super friendly and welcoming, which totally eased my nerves. And Rob and Fabiana are not just cool owners; they're top-notch instructors too! Whether you're into self-defense, gearing up for tournaments, or are just getting in shape, they've got you covered. Seriously, this place rocks—it's a place where you can make new friends while mastering your moves!

Such a great experience for my first jiu jitsu class! I was pretty nervous because this is entirely out of my comfort zone. Fabi and the other participants in the room did a great job at making me feel like I was fully capable to jump right into the beginners class. I was set up for success and given the chance to learn. Not to mention, It was so much fun!! I’ve taken a few different styles of martial art classes in the past and this was hands down the best experience i’ve had! Can’t wait to come back!

Leverage is without a doubt the best place to start jiu jitsu in the entire front range area.
I was initially intimidated to pick up the sport with no prior experience, but was amazed by how welcoming and fun the whole community is at Leverage and how they genuinely want to facilitate each person's growth in the sport.
From the Jiu Jitsu 101 class to the All Levels Class, i've gotten incredibly valuable time in classes focused toward an overall holistic approach on fundamentals and techniques led by incredibly talented and approachable instructors there to help each member at each step.

Never having tried BJJ before, I attended Jiu Jitsu 101 followed by the all levels class and had a great time. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and it was a great first experience. I really appreciate that you get to live roll even as a complete beginner as it gives you a much better idea if BJJ is right for you (I don't want to spend months drilling moves to finally roll with someone and realize it's not for me). I also really appreciate that it feels so casual, no political bs, bowing, or calling people professor, and you can just turn up in shorts and a tshirt and don't need to worry about a gi. 10/10

If you're looking for top notch jiu jitsu instruction and a super welcoming and fun environment, Leverage is the place to be. I have been training here since it opened and have been absolutely loving it. The coaches, Rob and Fabi, are two of the best black belts in Colorado and are amazing teachers. They are dedicated to each student's personal growth in jiu jitsu, taking the time to observe us sparring and provide individualized feedback to identify areas of improvement and offering guidance on how to refine their skills. The class are well structured to help students turn techniques into skills while having fun. A typical class starts with technique drilling, and then situational sparring gamified to practice and apply those specific techniques in a live situation, and lastly live sparring. If you're just looking to visit or drop in, there is also a free open mat Sundays at 11am that is open to everyone.

An incredible bjj gym! High quality black belt instruction with great attention to details, answers to all of my questions and a unique style of teaching that really helps us apply the techniques. It would be amiss to not also mention the people: everyone is welcoming and pushes you to improve. It’s the perfect combination of getting better at something all while having fun!

I've known Rob and Fabiana for about 11 years now and you couldn't ask for better coaches. The level of instruction and skill of teammates are both excellent. Due to other obligations I can only make it to the noon classes, but it's the highlight of my day every time. The atmosphere is very friendly and low stress, but at the same time you'll be pushed to get better every day.
Whether you're new and looking to start, or you're looking to up your existing game, this is where you want to be!
