Martial Arts Schools near Arvada

“I can’t say enough great things about the Colorado Tae Kwon Do Institute in Westminster! My seven-year-old has been attending classes 2-3 times a week for over a year now, and it has truly been a transformative experience for him specific to his confidence and in various experiences with competition.

We initially found the institute through an after-school program, and we were immediately impressed by the positive environment and the dedication of the instructors. The focus on building confidence, respect, and patience among students is evident in every class. It's heartwarming to see how well the instructors honor each child as an individual.

Since joining the institute, my child has flourished not just in martial arts skills but in self-esteem as well. The supportive atmosphere encourages children to challenge themselves while building lasting friendships with their peers. The instructors are not only skilled martial artists but also exceptional educators who know how to inspire and motivate young learners.

It's been wonderful to watch my child develop not only physical abilities but also important life skills. The emphasis on respect and discipline extends into daily life, which is a priceless benefit. I highly recommend the Colorado Tae Kwon Do Institute to any parent looking to help their child gain confidence, learn self-defense, and grow in a nurturing environment. Thank you to all the amazing instructors for making this journey so positive and rewarding!“

“If we could 10 stars I would. The staff is simply AMAZING professionals! Our son has learned so much about life skills which are priceless.“

“Glad our friends suggested to we at least try the free class. Our boys ages 5 and 8 instantly gained more confidence and wanted to try again. We are now into our second week and both boys have been very excited and engaged with the instructor. Our 8 year old has made it a goal to gain a black belt, has tried to succeed and excel in his class. Glad we found a place like this where the instructors are very knowledgeable, friendly and great at teaching.“

“Amazing people at this gym. Everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. Make you feel at home right away.“

“This family run martial arts school is a step above when it comes to teaching martial arts and critical life skills to students of all ages. Every time I am there I am blown away by how they care about their family of students. You need to do this. It's not a question. Just saying...“

“Limitless Martial Arts is an amazing place for any skill level of fighting. They teach and focus on skill development. Highly recommend anyone to try out if you want actual fighting experience.“

“Incredible community and effective classes — bought a full year my first day with no regrets whatsoever. 10/10 recommend joining no matter your experience or fitness level.“

“Love this martial arts school! Awesome instructors, my kids are learning and progressing so much!!“

“Great institute, great place for kids to develop great discipline and respect in a fun way!!!“

“Great family atmosphere and locally owned.
Great for kids and reasonable pricing“

“We absolutely love Colorado Karate Club, their owner and all their instructors. They are very professional, fun and show a sincere interest in our son. We had tried other martial arts schools for our young son but Colorado Karate Club in Westminster has been the most personable with students and parents. They are invested in the betterment not just of Karate skills but in each students morals, life goals and focus on respectful actions in their personal lives. In the last year, our son has increased his grades, decreased his anger and become more responsible in all aspects of his life. I can absolutely attribute these in no small part, to this school and its lessons. Please consider bringing your kids or adults to this school and meet the staff and parents.“

“Peak Martial Arts Academy is a martial arts studio that offers much more to the community than just a place to drop your kids off for an hour or two while you catch your breath for the day. Peak is a professional martial arts school that provides a wide range of influential, hard, and soft skills for people of all ages.
Kids who join martial arts at a young age learn to deal with consequences of their actions, how to work through and accept failure, and how to fight through pain and inconvenience. These turbulent subjects lead to confidence, problem solving skills, and learning that there is no right way to do something the wrong way. These are life skills your child will need to help them grow mentally and physically.
Adults who join martial arts learn very quickly that you are not as invincible as you once were. You too will take home things to think about that you can apply to everyday life. You will be tired. You will hurt in ways you’ve never hurt. You will do something amazing for yourself you didn’t think possible, and you will be looked up to by your peers as you develop a new skill that no one can ever take away from you. This is your personal journey to figure out.
The staff at Peak are incredible. They don’t just teach, they learn. Instructing is not a skill you are born with. Peak develops their instructors from the top down and are backed by the strong leadership of the academy. They are true believers, and they act on feedback.
This is a family owned and run operation, which is an added benefit. They take the time to know your name and who you are. They know your family. They contribute to the community in more ways than teaching martial arts. Check out their afterschool program here.
To summarize, I started going here about 2 years ago. My daughter wanted to go, but she was afraid of doing it alone. We joined together and it was one of the better decisions of my adult life for multiple reasons. I get to spend quality time with her, she has a support system to improve her personal skills, and I get to learn some humility as we go through this marathon together.
Try it out. Like, a solid try. Give it a couple of months. They know It’s not for everyone, but you never know till YOU try. You owe it to yourself.“

“One of the best decisions i have ever made. Sifu Post has taught me so much and I've grown a lot in the nearly 2 years that I attended. While there I not only learned how to fight, i learned to focus my energy into more positive things in life, and met some amazing people along the way. In doing so I have become more aware of what I want from life and it has helped me to set goals and achieve them. Unfortunately my decision to leave Colorado means that i can no longer train with Sifu Post. My experience here will stick with me for life and I’m very grateful to have found this place. I hope to keep pursuing martial arts, but this place certainly ignited a spark.“

“Best MMA experience I've had. I came from a Jiu Jitsu background and was a traveler so I've been to every hot gym in the US and have trained with many personalities and Coaches.

To this day I've never met a more dedicated Coach than Coach Sully. The gym is a place where he will rise you above your limits and make you better than ever before.

Every time I would come here my skills would explosively progress in short periods of time that would be noticeable when I would go train at other gyms.

Best gym. Best Coaching. Thank you Fusboxe Team and Coaches and Manager“

“This place has really changed our son for the better! He was having issues concentrating and being respectful in school and the week he started here it all changed. Master Kim and Master Caleb really know there stuff and really care and work with everyone who walk into this awesome establishment! Definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to start Tae Kwon Do or even experienced individuals.“

“A traditional karate dojo that is a great experience for both kids and adults. There is a strong sense of community, discipline, and a sense accomplishment for students as they progress. My son is excited to come to every class and I never feel pressured that he is getting behind. I would recommend this dojo for any new students of any age that are curious of a unique and fantastic experience“

“We love everything about this place, it is great for us as homeschooling parents, this is his gym, teachers are awesome!“

“The best place to learn martial arts with an instructor with a lot of experience in the field,highly recommend“

“I’ve watched my first two children blossom here - my stepson is a teen now and about to test for brown belt, and it has given him so much confidence and athleticism. My daughter has been going since age 4 and is now 7, and this is her only consistent activity over the years. I see the skills she has learned translating into other seasonal sports and activities, as well as increasing her ability to make friends and try new things like biking and rock climbing without fear. The private lessons have forged bonds between her and her training partners that I can tell will be lifelong. My husband and I just started training last year too and we love it! We drive over half an hour because we love this place so much. I highly recommend this place for children and adults alike.“

“This gym is amazing. The coach, Judo Dave, is incredibly inclusive, kind, and light hearted. If you’re just starting out wanting to learn Jiu Jitsu, this is a great place. Also Dave is a black belt and a literal wizard, so if you’re a higher belt trying to find a new place to train and learn, this is an awesome spot. Please check them out. Also they are clean and serious about hygiene on the mats.“

“I went to this place for a tournament yesterday and it was really fun, I don't train here but it seems fun to be able to train at this gym ?“

“Studied Tai chi here and also have been treated with herbs and acupuncture! Fantastic results! Thank you!“

“I highly recommend Universal Kempo Karate. Every time you enter you will be warmly welcomed by Jamie - who is not just an excellent instructor, but a wonderful human being. Jamie is super friendly and extremely approachable. He makes it a point to have one-on-one conversations with all the parents. Our son absolutely loves the time he spends at Universal Kempo Karate. While he isn’t naturally inclined towards sports, this program has been a great outlet and we haven't observed him get frustrated like with other sports and it's the only place he gets a good dose of exercise. He has advanced rapidly, testament to both his efforts and the nurturing environment of the school. I'm not an expert on martial arts school class structures but we really like the flow of each class. Each class begins with a not-too-strenuous warm-up, followed by genuine martial arts drills tailored for all age groups, often sometimes includes more strenuous runs and typically mostly entails defense, attach, weapon drills or sparing. The fellowship hall is spacious and there is always plenty of room for the students. A special shout-out to Dominic, who is great with the students and an excellent practitioner. If you're looking for an inclusive, friendly, and professional karate school for your child, check out Universal Kempo Karate! Not only will your child learn karate as a martial art, but also they will be encouraged to develop life principles like discipline, respect, and self-confidence.“

“So I have dropped in to some open mats, trained ranoris and taken classes with this group. I have always felt welcome, safe, learned something and had fun. An extra shout out to Coach Eric for always being so supportive, willing to break down things and complimentary also“

“I’m so happy because I found this place, great classes and great people!! I highly recommend this training center.“
