Professor Steven “Scoob” Ginn
Founder & Owner of Loco-Motion Jiu-Jitsu | Lead Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor at Bounce Empire
Professor Steven “Scoob” Ginn is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt with over 15 years of martial arts experience and more than four years of teaching experience. His approach to martial arts combines technical knowledge, creativity, practical application, and a passion for helping others develop both on and off the mats.
His martial arts journey began in 2009 with kickboxing. In 2013, at age 20, he competed in his first mixed martial arts (MMA) fight, followed by a second bout in 2015. Both fights took place in New Mexico. This experience became a defining turning point that inspired him to pursue Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu full-time. Throughout his competitive journey, he competed in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and Colorado.
Read the full bio
Steven's training journey took him through several academies in New Mexico, including a small martial arts gym in Roswell in 2010 and Traditional Arts of the Pacific in Las Cruces under Ray Lucero in 2012. In 2015, he began training at One More Rep, LLC, where he met Professor Mark Padilla and was introduced to Professor Spencer Cooper. Spencer would become his primary instructor and mentor, and Steven continued training under him through the opening of Zia Martial Arts in 2016.
After more than 15 years of dedication to martial arts, Steven earned his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt in 2026 under Professor Spencer Cooper. His lineage can be traced back to the very beginning of Jiu-Jitsu. From Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Carlos Gracie Jr. > Renzo Gracie > Ricardo Almeida > Tom DeBlass > Spencer Cooper.
In 2024, Steven founded and opened Loco-Motion Jiu-Jitsu in Denver, Colorado. His vision was to create an approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that embraces creativity, unconventional techniques, and a deeper understanding of movement rather than relying solely on traditional methods.
The name Loco-Motion reflects the foundation of his philosophy: movement in all its forms. Inspired by animal locomotion, natural movement patterns, and human biomechanics, his teaching incorporates coordination, balance, mobility, body awareness, and creative movement concepts.
As Lead Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor at Bounce Empire in Lafayette, Colorado, Steven leads instruction and develops curriculum for students of different ages and experience levels. His background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, and mixed martial arts allows him to bring a well-rounded perspective to martial arts education, emphasizing practical skills, confidence, discipline, and resilience.
Steven believes martial arts is about more than learning to fight. It is about personal growth, consistency, creativity, overcoming challenges, and discovering your potential. His goal is to help every student develop skills that extend beyond the mats and into everyday life.
His motto is simple: Make plans, not excuses!

FAQ
Do I need any experience?
No. Every class welcomes beginners, and the Basic classes focus on the fundamentals.
What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi?
Gi classes train in the traditional jiu-jitsu uniform (a heavy jacket and pants you can grip). No-Gi classes train in a rash guard or fitted shirt and shorts.
What should I wear and bring?
For No-Gi: a rash guard or fitted athletic shirt and shorts without zippers or pockets. For Gi: a jiu-jitsu gi. Bring water and sandals for off the mat. Trim your nails and leave jewelry at home. Don't have a gi yet? No problem - ask us before your first class and we'll help you get started.
How does the free trial work?
One free trial per person: 14 days of unlimited classes, starting from your first class. No card needed. Sign the jiu-jitsu waiver online (tick "Start my free trial"), have the Bounce Empire waiver on file, and check in at the front desk.
Which waivers do I need?
Both. The jiu-jitsu waiver covers the mats; the Bounce Empire waiver covers the park and is required for general admission. Signing one does not replace the other.
