Martial Arts Schools in Colorado Springs

“Took their mini Women’s Self Defense class on a Saturday morning. It was worth going. I learned a lot. Went home to check what pepper spray I had. Whoops the wrong one. Very informative and hands on. Going to work their classes into my busy schedule.“

“I practice here and I love it!!! I’ve learned so much and I feel like my masters and instructors have helped me grow so much!“

“I was in Colorado Springs for business trip, Kraken BJJ was one of the gyms I stopped by to train and I must say, they were extremely welcoming and kind to me when I trained there. I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area.“

“I’ve had a fantastic experience at Vee Arnis Jujitsu. The instruction is clear, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the class welcoming for students of all levels. The training environment is respectful, encouraging, and focused on real skill development.

I’ve gained confidence, discipline, and practical self-defense skills, all while being part of a genuinely positive community. The instructor truly cares about student progress and safety, and every class feels purposeful and engaging. I highly recommend Vee Arnis Jujitsu to anyone looking to learn in a supportive and empowering setting. I look forward to each class, always learn something new, and am grateful to be a part of the community.“

“The curriculum (if you would call it that) is great! The kids learn alot, and the coaches go around the room to make sure each kid gets the best out of whatever they learn that day. The coaches are also GREAT with the kids. All the staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. They don't play favorites as every student is they're favorite. And they learn so much more than martial arts. This place is great“

“Incredible BJJ school! Bill is an exceptional coach — patient, technical, and focused on helping you improve.“

“This is a wonderful establishment for your child. Our daughter went to a different Taekwondo studio before and this one is much better and more affordable. I highly recommend Iron Horse Taekwondo.“

“I haven’t even train here yet, and after having a good/bad experience where I train in Canada, they understand everything and want me to also reach my goal cannot wait to train here and to start my pro wrestling journey here.“

“Great program to teach discipline, respect and focus. Instructors are great and very helpful.“

“Apex Taekwondo is Awesome! Master Hong has done such a fantastic job with his students. Everyone learns respect, self discipline, and integrity among many other things and I am so impressed with the teenagers. Especially Master Hong's son Isaiah and Annabelle. They are so amazing with my 5 yr. old granddaughter and all the other kids, I just can't praise them enough. I highly recommend Apex Taekwondo for the entire family.“

“This dojo is a 10 out of 5! Being part of this community and this program has done wonders for our shy daughter. Sensei Mark is exceptional leader and outstanding human being. Sensei Hallie and Sensei Dave care about their students as well - they all strive to ensure they live the lessons they teach. Thank you for all that you do for all the members of the dojo and the families.“

“This karate dojo has been a great thing for my 10 y.o. son for almost 5 years now. He has learned self-discipline, focus, body control, and built strength and confidence. The senseis work so well with children, teens and adults. A huge thing I noticed when my son was just starting out at the age of 6, was the impact the training had on his ability to show respect to parents, teachers, and any person older than him. Respect is constantly displayed and encouraged, as is discipline that starts at the dojo for training, and has carried over to schoolwork and other extra-curriculars. I am so glad we tried the free class in 2020 when we won it at the farmer's market. I was skeptical, but my son found something he is passionate about and has thrived during the growth physically, mentally and emotionally due to his participation in karate. The tournaments twice a year are fun and a great chance to practice his skills, as well as experience winning and losing. This place has it all, don't hesitate if your kids (or you) are interested in trying karate, this is 100% the right place to start.“

“Mr. & Mrs. Christopher Polk are staples in the Colorado Springs Community and beyond. One of the very best martial art schools you will ever find. Join their school today. You and your family will thank me later.“

“This is the best place in Colorado Springs to practice Martial Arts! The Sensei are outstanding—highly professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated. I couldn’t recommend it more!!!?“

“Traditional Aikido of Colorado Springs is a phenomenal Dojo—everything from the facility and training aids to the welcoming atmosphere. It is a place that genuinely feels like a home away from home. I hold the rank of Shodan in Tomiki-ryu Aikido and Nikyu in Judo, and I am consistently blown away by the level of knowledge contained in this Dojo. If you wish to learn the art of Aikido as Osensei intended, please do yourself a favor and visit. You won't regret your decision.“

“Great group of knowledgeable aikido instructors. Great atmosphere in the dojo! I would highly recommend if you are looking to study aikido.“

“A top level karate education in a friendly and respectful environment. This dojo is always fresh and clean. Kids & adults enjoy the training and get into great shape. Couldn’t ask for a better dojo.“
