So Much to Gain
Catalyst Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specializes in providing the highest level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction in Northern Colorado for competitors and recreational practitioners alike in a family-friendly environment. Supplementary curriculum includes, but is not limited to: self-defense, kickboxing, boxing, judo, and strength & conditioning. Northern Colorado (Fort Collins, Greeley, Johnstown, Loveland, Milliken, and Windsor) is under-served in this fast growing market. The need is great for a gym that offers not only a place to get a workout, but one that offers a way to get in shape in a team environment while learning a highly technical martial art with one-on-one coaching and constant goal setting. The goal is simple – to enhance people’s lives through the martial arts both on and off the mat using a personalized approach.
Catalyst offers a place for adults as well as kids to build themselves physically, enhance cognitive skills, learn self-defense or even become a champion in a highly-structured learning environment. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a fast growing sport for both men and women regardless of size or physical ability level. Through an individualized approach, every student will be challenged to reach toward their full potential while reaping the incredible enjoyment and fulfillment that the sport has to offer. The benefits gained from regular training in a sport like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are lifelong as the positive gains made by participants can be simply amazing and even transformational.
Classes provide a structured curriculum designed to incite the maximum growth of each student while showing only the most effective and current techniques used at the highest levels. Classes at Catalyst provide a learning experience similar to that of a classroom but with a more individualized and hands-on approach taught by experienced and competition-proven instructors. The teaching methods and curriculum used by the academy are methods that have been shaped and refined by some of the best teachers to ever train and compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, including Royce and Rodrigo Gracie, Rafael Lovato JR., Saulo and Xande Ribeiro and the personal and local instructors affiliated with the academy – Professor Todd Kornfield and Professor Matt Jubera.
We recognize that each student and their definition of success is unique. Through an individualized approach, each student will be guided toward their unique goals through critical feedback and positive reinforcement. Whether a student wishes to become a world champion, learn self-defense or simply lose weight and improve their overall physical conditioning, Catalyst can help them achieve just that. A customized program and training regimen with each student will include intermediary goals, quarterly evaluation, and day-to-day coaching to help them maintain focus and gain the most from their training.
