Instructors

My ten year old has been coming here for 3 months and we couldn't be happier! After trying 3 different martial arts schools, we were thrilled to find Dark Horse! The classes are really fun for the kids but well structured, intense, and organized extremely well. The teachers are so knowledgeable and help the students one-on-one all the time. My kid LOVES coming to class. Along with learning the most useful martial arts out there, they also put a huge focus on character development. This place is a true gem!

Dark horse is an amazing place to start or continue your fitness/life skills journey. Extremely knowledgeable professor's and coaches dedicated in helping you grow and excel at the classes you are attending. To anyone wondering if this school is worth it, In my experience so far, this is the best place to battle depression, lose weight, and meet supportive people while having fun doing it. You also are gaining priceless knowledge every time you step foot into the building. Their kids self defense program is unlike anything our family has experienced, super engaging and encouraging for the children. Wish we would have made the choice to join years ago.

2 months in and my boys are hooked! One would think that the coaches In the children's class have an education in early childhood development, because of the way they interact with the students. Always so encouraging and engaging. When I get the chance I enjoy watching their classes, it's always fun and entertaining. I don't feel like my family is treated like a number But rather we feel more like part of their family. It's like a breath of fresh air in this crazy commercialized world that we live in now.

Never thought I would like Jiu Jitsu. Didn’t wrestle in school. Close to middle aged, overweight, and out of shape. Needed something active during/after Covid. Decided to try Darkhorse and so thankful I did. This place is like a family. They support you in your goals and everyone is supportive when you first start and feel all awkward. There is no pressure to compete but there are coaches to support you if you want to compete. If this was an ultra competitive “gym” it wouldn’t be right for me, but I absolutely love this place (3 days a week, for 6 months now, trying to get healthy and learn some skills along the way are my goals).

I'm so grateful for Dark Horse, it is such a positive impact in my life. In the 6 months since my 6 year old son and I have joined, I've seen so much mental, spiritual, and physical growth in both of us. The coaches are full of knowledge, patience, and passion for jiu-jitsu. Everyone at Dark Horse is so supportive of each other no matter what your goals are. I just can't put into words how appreciative I am for Dark Horse and every single person I have met there. I have found a new passion, great friends, and self confidence.

The instructors are friendly. The facility is clean and neat. You feel like you're apart of a community when you're there. It's an overall excellent place to train.

Welcoming atmosphere, patient and knowledgeable coaches, skilled and friendly students that challenge you in every way. Couldn't have found a better BJJ gym in Denver!

This is a training environment full of incredibly talented martial artists, minus the attitude and swagger you find in so many places. Every single person in this gym is there to help each other get better. I love this place and these people.

Wonderfully exhausting!! I'm a visitor from California and Dark Horse Combat Club welcomed me like family. Coach Jason was knowledgeable and energetic. The entire team all work well improving each other's game. Great teamwork...family atmosphere! Will definitely visit again if I am back in Denver!

Dark Horse Combat Club is an excellent place to learn jiu jitsu. The technique taught here is nuanced and the lessons are well structured. The students and teachers are all very friendly and there's a great sense of community. This is where I first started training jiu jitsu and it gave me a great foundation which I rely upon every time I'm on the mats.
