Amazing school for our kids. They take time with each kiddo, teach them the basics, and help them advance!

Quality instructor, great envoironment

My daughters love and thrive in this program. We have tried a number of after school activities to find someplace that they both look forward to going to, and this is the place. Shawn and his crew seem so authentic. My girls have learned so much in a short amount of time. Their confidence in their new skills grows every day and the self defense moves that they learn and practice are very impressive. I cant say enough! We are very grateful to have found you guys! Thank you.

I have been train for about 5 years and this gym was very open and friendly to out of towners. Every one at the gym acted very polite and helpful. There was no attitude or seclusion, it was very inviting and excepting of new people. If your in Aurora, CO I recommend you stop in to roll.

Recommend this gym to anyone wanting to learn BJJ. Friendly and highly knowledgeable instructor, coaches and staff, and atmosphere. You wont be disappointed!

Professor Shaun is great at what he does. I absolutely love Portela BJJ. All the coaches are amazing. This guys now feel like family to me. If you have any doubts about starting jiu-jitsu, this guys will make it easy. Come check it out!

Portela bjj is an amazing place to study and train bjj...excellent coaching staff professor shawn is extreamly technical and very detailed in his approach ...kids class is awesome and the teachers take there time to explaine important details......great group to train with..... super happy to be there...

Definately the Best martial arts & BJJ school in the Aurora and Centennial areas! Ive been training and multiple places in Denver and this place by far is the Best. I highly recommend it to other. Quality instructions along with fellow peeps assisting on form. Call Them!

I cant say enough good things about this place and its coaches. Coming in completely blind to the BJJ experience, I was welcomed with open arms and ultimately choke holds. Not having any experience with martial arts or BJJ, I had no idea what to expect and was nervous. Shawn and the rest of the crew could not have been more patient and welcoming. I particularly like how the classes are structured and how everyone that has more experience than you will take the time to guide you through the lesson so you dont miss a beat. Id encourage anyone to show up and give it a shot if you even remotely thought about trying BJJ.

Portela BJJ is great. I started at Portela in early ’15 as a New Year’s resolution to get into shape. I came in with absolutely no martial arts/wrestling background and they’ve been amazing to work with. Helping me along the way and being patient while answering all my questions has been a huge bonus. For me, learning how to hold my own in a fight sure beats running nowhere on a treadmill towards a dot on the wall. I highly recommend Portela Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu not just for a good workout and getting in shape but for a confidence booster.

Good, detailed instruction and a welcoming environment. My 5 year old son and I both started going to this conveniently located BJJ dojo and love it. Located on the Southeast corner of S. Parker Rd. & Orchard. A relatively new location (2014) but affiliated with the Castle Rock school under Humaita black belt Curtis Hill.

Great school with an awesome learning environment ! Come check out a class.

Boys love this place!!!!
