CENTENNIAL COLORADO BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a dynamic and effective martial art that originated in Japan but evolved and gained worldwide popularity through the efforts of Brazilian practitioners. Unlike other martial arts, Jiu-Jitsu focuses on ground-based techniques, emphasizing leverage and technique over size and strength. Our school provides a safe and welcoming environment for students of all ages and skill levels to learn the art of self-defense, improve physical fitness, and build confidence. Whether you're a beginner with no prior experience or an experienced practitioner looking to refine your skills, our knowledgeable and passionate instructors are dedicated to guiding you on your Jiu-Jitsu journey. 

THE KOMPOUND ACADEMY

The Kompound Training Center approach is around demonstrating techniques and drills for actual situations. While some techniques are designed specifically for sport Jiu Jitsu, Kompound Training Center focuses on real-world situations so the techniques can be applied in the street or on the mat, making it effective regardless of where or when it is needed.

PROFESSOR BRAD NICOLARSEN

Brad Nicolarsen's journey in martial arts began at 14 years old with boxing, but he soon found his true passion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). After training in Muay Thai, he delved into the world of BJJ and is currently a 3rd degree black belt with Rafael Lovato Jr.  In 2012, Brad opened The Kompound Training Center, prioritizing his students' growth and success. He emphasizes passing on his knowledge and love for BJJ, focusing on personal goals as well as competition. Brad's gym offers classes for all levels and aims to preserve the traditional values of BJJ while embracing its evolution within the rapidly growing MMA community. He aspires to spread the word about BJJ and nurture the next generation of dedicated athletes at his school.
