“Colorado Taekwondo Institute (CTI) is an excellent martial arts school that focuses on much more than physical training. The instructors teach strong Taekwondo skills while also building discipline, confidence, respect, leadership, and character. My two kids and I have been doing Taekwondo with CTI for 10 years. I especially appreciate how CTI gives students opportunities to grow through classes, mentoring, upper belt training, seminars, and community events. The school creates a positive, structured, and family-friendly environment where students are encouraged to do their best. I highly recommend CTI to anyone looking for high-quality martial arts training and personal development.“

“My daughter has been going here for a couple months already. She loves it! The instructors are great with everyone in class.“

“I’ve been training at the Denver location and I absolutely love it. The coaches are excellent, knowledgeable, tough, and very attentive to detail. The training environment is supportive and everyone is genuinely focused on improving and helping each other.

The Muay Thai classes and sparring sessions are especially great. I’ve learned a lot about timing, defense, and applying techniques in live rounds. I’ve also taken some Jiu Jitsu classes here and really enjoyed them as well.

Overall, the vibe is amazing, great coaching, great training partners, and a really strong community. I couldn’t be happier training here.“

“Love this gym. The whole staff makes you feel like a part of the family. I've been looking for a gym like this for a while and lucked out it happens to be two minutes from my house“

“My kids, Izzy and Owen, just started here about 2 weeks ago. We had been searching for karate classes and got really good vibes from DKA. It's family run and the instructors have great attitudes. They are great with kids, and my kids love it! We are very thankful we found this place.“

“I studied Pai Lum with Sifu Post about 15 years ago, after which i moved to the northwest, it made such a huge difference in my self discipline and understanding of hard work that it stuck with me all the way through my high-school career into my adulthood. Recently ive begun taking lessons again online with Sifu Post all the way from the northwest and even through the screen has been able to teach me and get me back on track. Its amazing how things come back when you love them! Im so excited to have my Sifu back, 10/10 the only Martial art I would recommend on a personal basis. You WILL improve and you WILL get stronger and more in touch with your body. Even online!“

“I highly recommend Colorado Karate Club. The Sensei are kind, fun, firm and humorous they are wonderful people who truly love what they do. I am extremely thankful for what they have done for my son. They want the best for their students and it goes beyond the dojo.“

“Can't say enough good things about CTI and this location! Grandmaster Albrechtson and Johnson are simply the best. It is such a blessing to have people you trust, who love your children and help teach them respect, self awareness and defense if needed. We couldn't be more thankful for this community!!“

“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.“

“We've been part of the EMA family for years!!! I've lost count how many :) because we keep coming back. 3 out of 4 of my kids are/were students. They know you by name, the instructors connect with the students and teach valuable lessons both on and off the mats. Definitely recommend!“

Also the people there are super nice, especially Avy, literally my bestie. I could not be more happy to come to universal taekwondo!!!“

“I am an intern at ATA Martial Arts and I am very proud of the training I am receiving here.
The instructors, professors, and masters are absolutely fantastic.

Thank you to everyone at ATA Martial arts who made me who I am today.“

“We train people in Sambo, jiujitsu, MMA and Soviet inspired strength training with multiple full weight rooms.“

“I've trained in Martial Arts for 10 years. I think a large difference that I've noticed, in my time in this School, is that we Study more than we simply Train. Every class I walk out feeling the effects of the depth and length of study of the Martial Arts. The people here are amazing warriors who not only strive for their own personal best but they push you beyond what you think are your limitations. A sibling-hood I've never experienced in a decade of training in other schools. The instructors are high class with the knowledge and abilities they demonstrate and teach, each bringing their own methods and viewpoints to help broaden our own. The intensity of the training is much more lifelike and is geared towards real world encounters and possibilities; it's not limited to the ideas of the stereotypical "break the wrist and walk away" self defense schools. The mood is always light, the training is very serious, the work can be seen as grueling, but the results are worth it.“

“I highly recommend Golden Tae Kwon Do to anyone looking for an excellent school with amazing instructors. I know that finding a good school can be difficult, and often it can be hard to even know what to look for. Golden Tae Kwon Do is extremely well rounded for very young students and adults of all ages alike. I'm glad they are part of the community and to have found them...“

“My daughter has absolutely flourished at Seo's Martial Arts! We've seen remarkable growth in both her skill and focus since she started. She genuinely enjoys the instructors and looks forward to every single class. Highly recommend!“

“I highly recommend Do-Krav Combatives! I had the chance of meeting David over the weekend and I was able to witness how patience and knowledgeable he is! His classes are engaging and fun. Dont miss the chance to train with David and book that class today 😀“

“Master Peterson funny. Gives crisp hive fives. Gives nicknames. Doesn’t buy us Chick-fil-A ?“

“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“

“This place is awesome!! The instructors know what they are talking about. They are patient with my self and daughter. I feel healthier and stronger.i like it here!!“

“My son started at Seo’s at 8 years old.. he ended his 3rd degree Kyosa and instructor career a few year back and I have to contribute his maturity strength and success to his loving and structured training he received at Seo’s, we were not able to pay his tuition many times.. as a matter of fact Seo’s hope foundation provided for my family many years ago and saved us from a dire situation.. My son is on the spectrum and I was told I would care for him forever.. Seo’s took him and gave him confidence and structure and a drive to become a strong independent man.. I absolutely couldn’t be more grateful for Grand Master Seo and Master O’Halleran for their love and guidance for my whole family..“

“Great teachers. I have loved our teachers since I started back in 2009. The school students are always willing to help. Lots of wonderful material to learn while too, finding your own strength from within. A wonderful place to find self healing as well as ways of fending off attackers. So many goodies within one school. I am definitely proud to have these people as our teachers.“
