Tim was one of my original instructors, when he was teaching in Minnesota. My experience with him was that he was a patient, caring, and welcoming instructor. I was able to drop in during my visit to Denver, and I can tell you that none of that has changed. He's as good of an instructor as he was before, if not better. I think if anyone is looking for a Jiu Jitsu gym in this area, this is the place to be.

I went to a few classes here and was always welcomed and treated like I've been training there forever. the instructor is thorough, skilled, and shows very useful techniques for everyone. He is also very kind and approachable. The gym has a laid bad energy and primarily teaches nogi. The only thing to know before you go is that it's a little hard to find so go early. You'll take some stairs up to the gym.

I am a Healthcare Traveler and wanted to find a gym that can help me stay in shape. I came across Morning Star by chance since the gym I intended to sign up for was not accepting anymore applications. This Jiu Jitsu gym has been giving me a positive experience so far in Colorado. Coach Tim, Coach Junior, and the people I met so far and everyone who trains here are incredible. Coach John (who teaches afternoon classes) is one of the reasons I usually do 2-a-days and not miss afternoon classes. I get to see his approach on certain things while also learning from the other coaches in the morning and night classes. ~watch out for that double arm bar~

D O NOT SHARE YOUR INFORMATION WITH THEM! I signed up for a free intro class and after speaking with someone during the scheduled phone appointment, I received more than 10 calls within 24 hours from people specifically identifying themselves as Morningstar Jiu Jitsu, at all hours of the day. I told 4 different people to remove me from their call list only for the harassment to continue. The second person I asked to stop calling me said they contract out their calls to a different company that they have no communication with or control over. Blocking the number doesn't work because they call from a different number every time. Not only am I no longer interested in a class, if they do not stop calling me, I will have to file a complaint with the FTC and FCC in order to address this issue. The fact that they keep denying the fact that they are calling people repeatedly demonstrates that they are lying or selling people's sensitive information.
