The instruction is top-notch, the team is tough, experienced athletes, and the facilities are vast. Classes include MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai, fitness, open mat, and kids classes. There are entire families that train there (kids and parents). People from all walks of life and all experience levels. Prices are competitive with gyms of this caliber and offer a week of free classes for first time students.

Especially for a woman it can be a bit intimidating in the world of MMA. Not at Trials - everyone from coaches to members makes you feel very welcome and comfortable.

We will be signing up our almost 5 year old in their Little Champs program soon.

While I can no longer participate in that class for health reasons, I have still been coming to this gym for about a year now. I have 3 boys ages 10, 10 and 13. My two younger have trained in BJJ with several instructors and have broadened their skills in ways I never saw coming in such a short amount of time. My 13 yo and I enjoy the gym set up. The classes are structured but instructors are immensely divoted to training a diverse range of skill levels. There are NO pressure sales here. If you want to be there they want you there. This gym is a nicely done small business, 100% worth getting involved in, and worthy of community support. Go check it out!!!

Inner Wave Pencak Silat offers something very rare in martial arts schools -- true insight into the…read morenature of fighting without advocating aggression, ego or pretension. Looking at the slight frame of the school's founder, Daniel Prasetya, one would not think he would be someone who is so adept at disarming and manipulating an opponent. The same can be said of his teaching style. It is deceptively potent, but at the same time very accessible. Prior to coming to Inner Wave, I studied several different styles of martial arts under several different instructors. Inner Wave has taught me how to bring together these past experiences and form them into an art of my own. I often joke that that Pencak Silat is my Ph.D. in the martial arts. To be less vague, the school teaches a wide curriculum from basic blocks, kicks, and punches to more advanced forms. Throughout it all, there is an emphasis on practical application of these motions and the principles and body mechanics behind them. One other thing to note is that no material is guarded or held secret. Any student may learn any material at any time, the only difference is the learning he or she will take away from the lesson. While there are belts and belt-appropriate material, this school is no belt-factory. Beyond self-defense, this school teaches breathing techniques and postures (much like Chinese Qi Gong or Indian Yoga) which encourage good circulation. There are also many opportunities to learn Indonesian meditation and healing massage. Even though I no longer live in Fort Collins, I still try to get back for lessons as often as my schedule will allow. More importantly, I still maintain close friendships to Guru Daniel and the other members of the school. If you live in the area, I highly suggest giving it a try. Guru Daniel's exceptional talent and his nearly 30 years of experience in Pencak Silat are truly a rare find in both the U.S. and in Indonesia.

I've trained in Kickboxing and Muay Thai off and on for almost 10 years and I have never seen a Coach love what they do as much as Erin! Anyone can teach something, but not just anyone can COACH. A coach has to LOVE the sport, and have an obsession with studying the sport... competing experience is always a plus too... Erin simply has it all. You can literally feel his love for the sport, and his students , radiate as he coaches. Jen and Sam are some more great people you will see here and are truly a foundation of the gym as well. You will immediately feel at home, Jen and Sam have such a Papa and Mama Bear spirit. As if the coaching wasn't already enough, you couldn't meet better gym managers/owners than Jen and Sam. I'm a Personal Trainer, so I have been through dozens and dozens of gyms ....and even though this is a fighting gym, there is absolutely no ego and no egos tolerated and these two make sure to keep it that way! Not to be a corn-dog but I am truly grateful I have found this gym! I could go on and on!
