Shogun Jiu Jitsu Academy

This Jiu-Jitsu is top notch. Manny is very acknowledged and takes his time to make sure everyone is learning there is no rush with him. Everyone there is very friend and treats you like family. I would recommend shōgun to everyone from first timers to top black belt.

Manny is one of the best BJJ practitioners I’ve ever trained with. He has continued to elevate his game after all these years and he continues to impress me with his innovation. He’s a great coach and more importantly, he’s a great person. Awesome guy to be around, super positive, and always wants the best for the people around him.

Manuel Morales is an exceptional instructor who brings depth and insight to every jiu-jitsu lesson. Even more impressive, he’s a genuinely great person with a wonderful attitude. Whether you’re bringing kids or high-level black belts, you can count on a positive, high-quality training environment.

I have been friends and training partners with Manny, the owner of Shogun, for years and I can honestly say he’s one of the best coaches out there. His technique is top-tier, and he has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense no matter your skill level. Whether you’re brand new to jiu jitsu or have been training for years, Manny creates an environment that’s welcoming, challenging, and supportive. Highly recommend dropping in and experiencing it for yourself.

Manny is a great instructor!! I really appreciate his approach to Bjj. He is a very systematic and knowledgeable grappler. He also is a great guy in general! The facility is very clean and the mats are great for judo throws with wrestling takedowns!! He brought Marcelo to Denver if you want to be a master grappler come hit the mats!!
