BJJ in Lakewood

Lakewood (just west of Denver) has eight BJJ academies, including **Imperial BJJ Lakewood** — the only Demian Maia Jiu Jitsu Brasileiro (DMJJB) affiliate in the Denver metro — and Mile High Gracie (a Gracie family methodology school). Both anchor a deep mix that also includes Imperial Kickboxing, Imperial Judo, and several smaller independent gyms. Lakewood sits along Highway 6 and Wadsworth, putting it within 15 minutes of downtown Denver, Wheat Ridge, and Golden. Strong area for practitioners who want a specific lineage (DMJJB, Gracie family) plus cross-training options under one roof at the multi-discipline schools.
