My name is Ian Starr and I am the owner and head Jiu-Jitsu instructor here at Front Range BJJ.   I came to Colorado over 9 years ago to study Aikido with Hiroshi Ikeda shihan of Boulder Aikikai.  I am a black belt under Ikeda sensei and subsequently went on to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Professor Amal Easton of Easton BJJ.  I received my purple belt under Professor Easton and am currently an Affiliate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor under Mr. Roy Harris.  I am also a Level 1 Certified CrossFit Trainer.  I opened Front Range Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to bring BJJ and CrossFit to the community of Littleton and beyond!

See you on the mat!
