Chroma Jiu-Jitsu - Lafayette, Colorado

Amanda Rodriguez

We had a great first day at Chroma! I even chit chatted with other parents while I was watching the high energy class and many of them reported improvements in their child's ability to follow directions, respect others, and reduce impulsive behavior. I was impressed with Damien's leadership of the children in the 4-7 yr old class and could tell he was a father himself. He showed the kids respect and kept them engaged the whole time. Thank you!

Update: we're 2 months in and I'm still impressed and so pleased with Damien's coaching. He knows every single kid by name, and is so kind and present and helpful. Multiple other coaches are often on the mats helping out so each child gets lots of attention and they are all also wonderful. The environment here is fun, kind, empowering, and well organized.

We are so happy at Chroma! Our 10 year old son has been attending classes for about three months now, has had a belt promotion, gained confidence, and is determined to become a black belt one day. Thank you to Professor Damien and his amazing team of coaches! They make the mat very inviting for the everyone, the gym is clean, the kids have so much fun, and they are getting stronger mentally and physically. So glad to be apart of the family!

Professor Damien, Kismet, and the other coaches are excellent and always very welcoming. Classes are a nice blend of fun and proper technique for real world situations. Plus a new, more competitive, session for kiddos that want to take their training to the next level targeting future competition. In over a year of going now, neither of our boys have ever complained about going to class and that's saying something! Keep up the great work!

I visited here and trained.
There are great professor and coaches.
Not good, GREAT.
And It is cleanest gym I have ever been before.
You can be comfortable to train.
If you are interested in Jiu-jitsu,
If you are just curious about Jiu-jitsu at least,
It is worth visiting.

If I have a child and live Colorado, around here,
I would definitely want them to commute to here.
Because I have come to be certain that my child will stand up for themself against bullying mentality and physically.

I love “SHOW YOUR TRUE COLORS” which is back print of their rash guard.

We have done jiu jitsu at a few different places around town and this is by far the most inclusive, friendly, and enjoyable place we have found for the whole family. There are equal opportunities for all who join to earn belts and compete. Along with regular training, learning life skills and just how to be a good human are baked into the curriculum here. Coach Damien is great with the kids and the WANT to respect and listen to him. Highly recommend this program.

As soon as I walked into Chroma, I knew I was in a safe place. A place were I can enjoy the challenging art of the jiu jitsu, because my human values are not being challenged. Come here to learn and to work hard while being accepted as who you are.

Chroma has been a wonderful space for my kids to train. Professor Damien creates an environment for all kids to thrive and the respect he builds between the students, coaches and staff is unparalleled. Classes are engaging, fun, and informative. After one class my child shared that the reason she loves Chroma so much is because it is building her confidence. I couldn’t ask for more as a parent. Thank you Professor Damien and to all the coaches for all you do!

Our family cannot say enough about Chroma Jiu Jitsu's children's programs. Professor Damien has an uncommon ability to meet children with respect and kindness while holding them to the highest characterological standards. Truly, I've never witnessed a more consistently talented teacher interacting with young people.

There is a reason that this program has grown exponentially since it started just 1.5 years ago. Damien, his wife Kismet (the manager of the whole operation), the other coaches on staff, the many parent volunteers, and indeed, the children themselves, all come together to create a positive community oriented toward personal and collective growth like none other.
