4worldlovers: Mile High Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has been providing elite instruction in the arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and submission grappling since the year 2000 (over two decades)!

Our school and instructors follow two lineages directly from the legendary Gracie family who helped evolve Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts (MMA) into what they are today.

One branch follows the renown Jiu-Jitsu master, Royce Gracie, Grandmaster Helio Gracie’s son, known for his championship performance in the first UFC ever among several others to follow.

The other branch under, Rorion (Helio’s first son and creator of the UFC), Ryron and Rener Gracie out of the Gracie Academy headquarters in Torrance, CA.

Our instructors bring together these lineages, core principles, their own experience and other discipline knowledge, to provide a multifaceted curriculum that builds an adaptable foundation that can evolve for traditional & modern scenarios.

It is a perfect balance of physical and mental energy. It’s not just about strength or athleticism. The mind, critical thinking, strategy and technique play crucial roles in the art. Anyone can benefit and become successful at Jiu-Jitsu.

We are located just a few miles west of downtown Denver in Lakewood, Colorado and are easily accessible from the Colorado front-range area including Denver, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Golden, Green Mountain, Westminster, Englewood, and Littleton.

I had the pleasure of training with Tim for a number of years, first as gymmates and then when he became an instructor at a new gym. He has a deep knowledge of jiu-jitsu and is an excellent teacher who emphasizes technique over strength or other purely physical gifts that a student may already possess. I've seen him teach varying skill levels from complete novices all the way up to highly experienced grapplers and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I'm visiting from out of town and wanted to get some training in while traveling. Tim and the rest of the guys in the gym were very welcoming. Tim is an amazing instructor and very technical. This is going to be my go-to gym when I'm in Denver. Thanks again for having me!

I have been coming here for the past few months and I am hooked. Tim is an amazing instructor. He is friendly, knowledgable, and helped me overcome my nerves when rolling for the first time. Also, all of the students that I have met here have been friendly and fun to train with. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone I know.

Great instruction by a fantastic coach and person. Highly recommended no matter your skill level. Tim has an ability to teach to all levels and tailors the instruction accordingly!!!

Oh man where do I begin? The coach is incredible, always makes sure everyone understands the technique and always has time for questions. The people are great, everyone is always trying to help each other learn. Walking through that door was one of the best decisions I've ever made!

You cannot go wrong with an instructor as awesome as Tim! He is a natural teacher!
