“My family started practicing karate at PPMA back in November 2020, and I joined several weeks after that. It's a good family activity and Sensei Bill is great about adapting the class to all students in attendance. I also appreciate that we can arrange to do Zoom classes if we can't make it to the studio. I highly recommend this place!”
“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.”
“I’ve been going here for a few months as a complete beginner to combat arts, and it’s been a great experience! The coaches are wonderful, personal, and will spend 1 on 1 time with you to help you develop the skills you need.”
“My son has been going to Ripple Effect for 10 months now and he slowly but surely built more confidence. He loves going to his classes everyone their is so helpful and welcoming.”
“Awesome self defense class for women.. I got so much out of it. Recommended for sure!”
“I dropped in for a class along my travels because I was craving practice! This gym was so welcoming, attentive and encouraging throughout the whole experience. Brittany led a wonderful class. I can't wait to return! Thank you!! Love this community so much.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Professor Jubera and his school. I feel safe and accepted. The curriculum is excellent. Professor Jubera is patient and dedicated to his craft, as well as his students. The other black belts are just as caring and dedicated as he is. I tried other schools around Denver and found myself going back to Jubera time and time again. I have so much respect for him. Can’t recommend enough.”
“I had my son’s 9th birthday party at Peak Martial Arts and I am SO PLEASED with the way it turned out. Our time was nicely spaced out and nothing felt rushed. From shooting basketballs and playing arcade games to an epic nerf war (the dads even jumped in!), everyone had a great time! My son had such a great time we are looking at the after school program. Customer service and communication was fantastic and the price was right. We will be supporting this local family owned business as much as we can…. And, most importantly, all these kids (and dads!) will sleep good tonight!”
“I would give a 10 star if i could. Sifu Keller, is one of three martial arts teachers I've had in my life. Taekwondo, Karate, and Kung Fu,,, I was his student when he was white dragon,,,, however, when my son was his student he'd transitioned to Great Way. He made the change for whatever reason. Regardless, I was a student 28 years ago, and one thing I think about to this day, is he instills to his students, is no matter what one goes thru, there is still ones worth. There's still a gratitude, loyalty, and praise in what the person don't see in themselves (if they feel that low),,, and gives them the tools, and power to pull themselves out, (no matter how long ago they studied). I will FOREVER be thankful to him and his school. Greatest Sifu one could meet, or be instructed by.”
“My son has been attending this place for nearly 2 years by now. We absolutely love it! He enjoys it each class and always wants to come back. Owners create family atmosphere and care for kids. They teach them respect, responsibility, how to be organized in addition to physical skills. Thank you!”
“I was a student at MHK when I was a kid and the life lessons I learned stuck with me as I got older. When I became a parent, I wanted my son to have those same life lessons. Not just confidence, but the discipline and work ethic, the whatever it takes attitude, perseverance to get through hard things. My son is very introverted and struggled a lot with social anxiety. Since he has been in karate, our extended family compliments him all the time on his confidence and leadership abilities. He is now a part time instructor and part of the ambassador team. He has made so many friends (so have I) and karate is really our second home. I have also found myself again. After I left karate when I was 17, I always missed it. It was such a huge part of my life and coming back was one of the best decisions I have ever made, not just for my son but for myself as well. Being able to work hard side by side with my family has been incredible. But the best part for me at this stage is seeing other students achieve their goal of becoming a black belt and helping them along that path. I love how supportive the MHK community is and I encourage everyone I meet to try martial arts. No matter your age. I am 45 and still training, I like to try to keep up with the kids! If I could give 10 stars I would!! ❤️?”
“Mr. Schilz and his classes are the absolute best! I do the kickboxing class and the boot camp and I love that not only do I get a great workout out of them, but I also really appreciate how friendly the atmosphere is. While other martial arts classes can feel really intimidating, his classes are so welcoming, and you can go with whatever level of intensity works for you. This is the first time I am consistently working out after having a baby and I’m so grateful I found this studio.”
“My son and I walked into Zingano BJJ 6 years ago. He had expressed interest in martial arts and I wanted to learn more about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We both signed up and started training.The kids coaches did a great job of keeping the kids attention and making the class fun and safe. The more that my son trained the more I saw his training influence other aspects of his life. He was more focused, more considerate and worked harder at the other things that he enjoys doing. 6 years later his training still gives him an edge. He does great in school and at football and I believe that this is due to the discipline and training he has received at Zingano’s. He continues to train and compete.The coaches and curriculum at Zinganos are top notch as is the facility. Everyone there is committed to learning and improving each other’s knowledge of BJJ. We train hard and everyone has a great time doing so. I cannot recommend Zingano Brazillan Jiu Jitsu enough if you and or your family is looking for a place to train.”
“I've been going here since 2015. Over the years I've seen many students progress as they're skills and confidence build over time. The classes here have been run very consistently as the teacher is very attentive and corrects as needed.<br>Wing chun is a simply art form with many layers. Practical moves are learned from the start and build on each other as they progress though the system. I highly recommend going in and talking to the people there.”
“This was an amazing experience. The instructor was phenomenal and the people were incredibly welcoming and encouraging.”
“I am deeply grateful to have found and enrolled my son at Scornavacco Martial Arts Academy.<br><br>Mr. Scornavacco is profoundly patient and affective at guiding kids to learn the practice of martial arts, in helping them build self-confidence, and instilling the value of respect. More than just a studio, Mr. Scornavacco has created a community full of compassionate students and is a strong role model for kids and parents alike.”
“Master Kim is an inspiration to my just the students. It the parents as well. He teaches confidencs, respect, and kindness along with the traditional tae kwon do practice. Our family will always be grateful to his influence on our son.”
“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.”
“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 find the people, the practice, the scholarship, the openness, the dedication to tai chi, all wonderful in their own right, as well as independent substantiation of my own tai chi practice. Many thanks for the site and the school’s carrying forward and building on the tai chi tradition.”
“My son has been going here for a while now! He loves it the instructors are great here.”
