Who we are
Project 303 is a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth, adults, and underserved communities through the practice of jiu-jitsu. We use martial arts as a tool to teach discipline, leadership, resilience, and life skills — helping students thrive both on and off the mats.
Our experienced team has over 47 years of combined jiu-jitsu experience and 35 years of coaching and mentoring. We’ve seen the transformative power of structured training to help people of all backgrounds grow, gain confidence, and find stability in their lives.
At Project 303, we don’t just teach jiu-jitsu — we create strong communities, foster lasting friendships, and provide a healthy, year-round outlet for growth. We also give back through volunteer programs, supporting local families, neighborhoods, and businesses.
