What began as a place to train Jiu-Jitsu has grown into a community of kids, teens, adults, families, competitors, hobbyists, and instructors who continue to learn and grow together.\r\n\r\nThis September, we\u2019re excited to celebrate that milestone with the people who made it possible.\r\n<h3><b>Join Us for Our 15-Year Anniversary Celebration<\/b><\/h3>\r\nOn\u00a0<b>Saturday, September 26th<\/b>, Gracie Barra Colorado Springs will host a special anniversary celebration that is free and open to our community.\r\n\r\n<b>12:00 PM \u2014 Free Jiu-Jitsu Seminar<\/b>\r\nWe\u2019ll kick off the afternoon together on the mats with a free Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu seminar. Adults, teens, and kids are welcome to participate.\r\n\r\n<b>1:30 PM \u2014 Black Belt Degree Promotions<\/b>\r\nFollowing the seminar, we\u2019ll recognize an especially meaningful milestone as Professors\u00a0<b>Joe, Josh, and Al<\/b>\u00a0receive their black belt degrees.\r\n\r\n<b>Potluck Celebration<\/b>\r\nAfter promotions, stick around and celebrate with us! Students, families, friends, and former members are welcome to join the potluck and spend some time together off the mats.\r\n<h3><b>15 Years of Jiu-Jitsu in Colorado Springs<\/b><\/h3>\r\nA lot can change in 15 years. Students who walked through our doors as beginners have become experienced practitioners, competitors, coaches, and leaders. Kids have grown up on our mats. Families have trained together. Friendships have formed that extend far beyond Jiu-Jitsu.\r\n\r\nThrough all of that change, our goal has remained remarkably simple:\u00a0<b>create a place where people can learn excellent Jiu-Jitsu, challenge themselves, and belong to a strong community.<\/b>\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re incredibly grateful to every student, parent, coach, training partner, friend, and family member who has been part of Gracie Barra Colorado Springs since 2011.\r\n\r\nWhether you train with us today, trained with us years ago, or simply want to come see what our community is about, we\u2019d love to have you join us on September 26th.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s to\u00a0<b>15 years on the mats in Colorado Springs<\/b>\u2014and to all the people who made those years possible.\u00a0<img class=\"an1\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/17.0\/2764_fe0f\/32.png\" alt=\"\u2764\ufe0f\" data-emoji=\"\u2764\ufe0f\" aria-label=\"\u2764\ufe0f\" \/><img class=\"an1\" src=\"https:\/\/fonts.gstatic.com\/s\/e\/notoemoji\/17.0\/1f94b\/32.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\udd4b\" data-emoji=\"\ud83e\udd4b\" aria-label=\"\ud83e\udd4b\" \/><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168\" src=\"https:\/\/graciebarra.com\/colorado-springs-co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2026\/09\/IMG_5703-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1460\" \/><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-167\" src=\"https:\/\/graciebarra.com\/colorado-springs-co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2026\/09\/IMG_5725.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"914\" \/>","featured_image":"https:\/\/graciebarra.com\/colorado-springs-co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/47\/2026\/09\/IMG_5688.jpeg","featured_image_id":"169","featured_article":""},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-165","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gracie Barra Colorado Springs Celebrates 15 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Colorado Springs Gracie Barra Colorado Springs Celebrates 15 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 15 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Colorado Springs | Gracie Barra<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Gracie Barra Colorado Springs is celebrating 15 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!
