SELF DEFENSE COURSE

Real Self Defense for Real Situations

At Denver Jiu Jitsu, our Self Defense Course teaches street effective techniques rooted in authentic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. These are not sport techniques designed for point scoring — these are proven methods for real-world survival situations where conventional rules do not apply.

Founded by Black Belt Rodrigo Salazar, who trained under world champion Fabio Santos with direct lineage to Relson Gracie (Helio Gracie's son), our self defense curriculum draws from decades of real-world application and law enforcement training experience across the USA and South America.
