Petter Rocco Basile
YY
Blue Belt
Youth BJJ Coach – 303 Training Center, Olde Town ArvadaI’m a 17-year-old blue belt with 13 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience, having started training at the age of 4. I’ve been coaching kids since I was 7, giving me a full decade of teaching experience on the mats.I competed in my first tournament at just 5 years old and have since won NAGA belts in three different states: Colorado, Nevada (Vegas), and Utah. This competition background helps me bring real-world insight to my coaching.As a coach, I specialize in confidence building and competition preparation, while making sure every kid on the mat gets quality individual attention. My goal in every class is simple: make sure every student leaves knowing they had a better BJJ class because I was there.Whether it’s helping beginners learn fundamentals or preparing young athletes for their next tournament, I’m passionate about developing not just better grapplers, but more confident and disciplined kids through Jiu-Jitsu.
Jeremiah Brunner
Black Belt
Professor Jeremiah "Jay" Brunner has been training martial arts since 2008, and has been with 303 Training Center since (***I think 2013***). Professor Jay received his black belt in 2023. He is a fixture at our a.m. classes as a teacher and a student. He is married with two kiddos, loves camping, card games and karaoke, and is happy to host fun events right here at the gym!
Professor Jay has been a law enforcement investigator since 2010, with a lot of experience helping those who've experienced trauma. He used his experience to open a trauma-informed self defense business, helping survivors in that capacity since 2021. He is also available for BJJ private lessons.
Jake Saltzman
Black Belt
Never much one for team sports or exercise of any sort, Coach Jake needed a new hobby after high school to stay active and engaged. This is when he first stepped onto the jiu jitsu mats in 2009 and immediately fell in love. Jake's first experience was in Saginaw, MI where he grew up and he made it his first priority to find a new jiu jitsu academy upon moving to Chicago for school in 2010. Jake moved to Westminster, CO in 2021 and promptly found his home at 303 Training Center.
This love affair instantaneously impacted all aspects of Jake's life, resulting in a new motivation to live a clean and healthy lifestyle, if not only to have better jiu jitsu. It was not long before Jake began applying the lessons he learned from jiu jitsu in regards to dedication, discipline, and problem solving to his personal and professional life.
Jake's favorite aspect of jiu jitsu is the sense of community it creates. Having trained all across the country (and even abroad), Jake has found that jiu jitsu can act as a universal language and create beautiful bonds between individuals that may have otherwise never been connected.
Jake's passions include his family, spending time in the mountains, and obscure history trivia.

Mitch Evans
Black Belt
Mitch Evans was inspired to begin his jiu jitsu journey after watching Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Pride Fighting Championship videos on VHS in the late 2000s. He arrived at 303 Training Center in 2013 and eventually received his brown belt from Professor Tony Basile in 2022. He is a devoted father to a teenage daughter, and a teacher at Mountain Range High School in Westminster, CO. When he is not on the mat teaching, training, or competing, he enjoys reading, doing stand up comedy, collecting vinyl records, and playing guitar. His one piece of advice for anyone who is new to jiu jitsu is to "just keep showing up".
