Colorado Firefighters Jiu-Jitsu Club | Why They Train & How to Join

From 10th Planet Colorado Springs

October 28, 2026

Coach sits down with Jose Paz and JD Mena from the Colorado Firefighters Jiu-Jitsu Club to talk about why the club exists, what they're building, how they train, and how firefighters around Colorado can get involved.

The conversation covers:

• Why the Colorado Firefighters Jiu-Jitsu Club was started

• What the group is trying to build for the firefighter community

• How jiu-jitsu fits into their training and lifestyle

• How and where they train

• Building connections through grappling

• How firefighters can find the club and get involved

If you're a firefighter in Colorado who trains jiu-jitsu—or you've been thinking about starting—this is a group worth knowing about.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
