While his first several classes were really rough the staff didn't give up on him. They met with me to learn how his brain works and the best ways to support him in class. They staffed together to brainstorm strategies, talk about what was working and what needed to be changed. They even brought in an extra staff member to support my son when class sizes were bigger and he needed more one on one support. Mr. Miller, the owner, Mr. Sam, Mr. Walker, Mr. Sandoval, all the trainees and other kids and families have been so supportive and welcoming to my son and our family. My son LOVES coming to class. He loves learning. He understands what is expected of him and his level of focus is something I wish we could get out of him in other areas of his life. If you have a Spectrum child or a child with other learning disabilities don't be afraid to give Venture a try. I HIGHLY recommend them. I'm so thankful we are a part of the Venture family.

This must be the nicest GB we've been to so far...and we've been to 6 different locations so far…read more Gyms generally have a small and basic spacial feel, but not this one. It looked trendy, new, up to date, and the ac was even running chilly...I just didnt get to see what was upstairs or the bathrooms. Professor Ian was great with his big voice quickly straightening up students. He's stern and professional with a smile on his face. I appreciated that he was efficient and fast with instruction, running exercises, and rotating the sparring partners. The main professor was well spoken about by the GB Denver crew, but he wasnt present. We'd love to visit again!

It's…read moreimportant to have a good community and vibe when choosing a place for fitness and the first impression I got of this place did not give me that. I came in here to get some information on the schedule in order to sign up for a class. I spoke with Nathaniel Ocansey whose first words to me were an aggressive "why do you want the schedule?" I explained I was interested in the gym and learning about Krav Maga, and he continued to ask me "why" like my answers weren't sufficient enough. He then proceeded to call me Difficult and give me a long winded story about how people come in all the time trying to get information but what they really need to do is go online and sign up for a class. I don't feel like this aggressive style of communication is beneficial for me. It may be good for some, but for me it made me feel like I wouldn't like his style of teaching. All in all-- I was excited to try it out, but after talking to the owner it made me feel otherwise. My advice to this location would be- if people are coming in to learn more, help them sign up for an intro class! Don't call them names and tell them their not doing enough. It doesn't come off well!

Krav Maga is easy to learn, quick to master, remarkably effective, and has an incredibly long retention term, especially when compared to other martial arts that focus on elegance and proficiency.

The positive mantras and pep talks are every bit as much of what makes this a good program as the karate itself. Nick Milliken won us over when he spent 1:1 time with our son, giving him some good mentoring... and again when he was looking for new assistants for the school (indicating that the punching and kicking was the easy part, but "getting it right" with the major task of motivating and helping-to-raise the kids was the most important bit). It's not always perfect, they certainly need longer-term assistants and staff... but it's really a great place to develop your children mentally and physically. It builds "long-term" confidence.

Didn't attend for a few months and realized I was being charged still. Played phone tag for 3 weeks trying to cancel just to have them finally tell me I need to come in in person to sign. This was after I told them that it is no longer convenient for me to attend do to over an hour commute and change in work schedule. I came in one day at 4:30, not realizing they are completely closed. Called hoping I could get an answer but there number just sends you to a voicemail EVERY SINGLE TIME. They are worse than big corporate gyms with how they handle someone trying to cancel. Minus 1 star for lack of class availability. 10am and 7pm being the only times for a newcomer to make a class is tough. Minus 1 star for muay thai training.

The instructors are wonderful, very professional yet personable. High level techniques being shared here. With soo much experience on the mats you have lots of different Jiu-Jitsu styles to choose from. The amenities are exceptional. Nice clean bathrooms, changing rooms and showers. The front desk people are always smiling and helpful when you come in the door. While I haven't gotten to train the striking classes as I primarily train Jiu-Jitsu , they look like a lot of fun and they are training very hard with solid technique. They have lots of quality mat spaces for grappling and striking as well as workout equipment. There are many classes for people to choose from. Giving the most flexibility I have ever seen at a gym. Add in the elevation and the location of a beautiful mountain city, this is one of the best places to train in the country. I highly recommend the gym.

I first met Scott through Chinese Medical school, where he taught Taiji, and soon thereafter began…read morestudying Bagua with him. While most in the Alternative arts and medicine community have incredible hearts and caring personalities, very few have achieved what I would call a high-level of practice, or, "Master" status. It takes a dedicated practice and training with highly qualified teachers (the 2 main factors that are missing in most practitioners'/teachers' backgrounds). Scott has trained intensively (and I'm not talking about a year here or few months there) with the best, and continues to dedicate himself to his practice to this day. Scott's expertise becomes more and more apparent the longer you study with him, as he never shows off his abilities or strains to prove himself. I wish nothing more than for him to get into the ring with one of these "Mixed Martial Arts" fighters, thoroughly kick their ass, and end that nonsense of a sport. Alas, he would never do such a thing. Scott's teaching style is very individualized, meaning everyone gets a lot of attention. He is attuned to the needs and sensitivities of each student, however different they are, and will adjust the lesson accordingly. From young children to older people, he has an enormous range as a teacher and instructor. I am looking forward to when my daughter will be old enough to begin taking kung-fu lessons with him. I recommend reading Scott's reviews for his San Francisco practice as well (don't miss the "filtered" ones), as there are some excellent testimonials of Scott as a teacher.

Where to begin, first of all about me and who I am, I'm 29 years old I've been studying buddhism,…read moremeditation, and body awareness practices steadily since I was about 12. I spent about 4 of those years heavily involved in aikido (w/ Frank Doran-sensei), kenjustsu (kashima shin-ryu) and kyudo (ANKF). More recently I spent about the last 5 years living in China as a full time live-in (gongfu) student of a daoist priest. I have been helping a friend teach some of his classes in the San Francisco area but have so far refrained from making it a personal profession though I have been encouraged to do otherwise. What to say about Scott? Having met various teachers in China, Japan, the US, and even some in South America, I have never met one that held a candle to Scott's mastery of gongfu (kung fu) as a vehicle for self defense, a cultural art form, or a vehicle for spiritual transformation, let alone all of them together or with an understanding of why they all matter and how they relate. I've met a lot of folks who traveled to china to live and train there, sometimes for years. It's really exciting to go to a place where it looks like "just in the movies". The thing about someone like Scott is... he's hard to spot. He doesn't live in a temple. He doesn't wear robes or have a topknot. He doesn't live in China and he's not Chinese. He doesn't even follow certain ritual forms of sounding profound that are standard among such teachers or drop buzzwords. So you typically need to have some background in order to see what he has. If you have a mature appetite for martial arts and want to train with the best, go check him out. If you are just curious and want to see what he's up to or if it's a good fit, he's very approachable and loves to talk about this stuff. If you're looking for cardio-kickboxing or to prove how tough you are to people, you should go somewhere else for that.

What can I say about this studio that isn't widely known already?…read more The coaches are amazing! The equipment is in a great condition and properly serviced. The cleanliness and disinfectant efforts are outstanding. The pricing is impeccable when you consider what you're paying for-- a class time of group personal training, access to cardio and weight equipment, lockers and facilities, exclusive OTF gear (shirts, shorts, pants/leggings, jackets, towels, water bottles, etc.), AND the use of heart rate technology for coaches to view your progress during class and for long-term goals. I once used a personal trainer, and it was just over $2,700 for 25 classes with the trainer, and I had to drive to his apartment to use its gym. Like, OTF is the way to go if you want the dedication, attention to form and progress, accountability, and wonderfully inclusive community. This studio has 13 treadmills, 13 rowers, 13 weight floor spots with additional weights on shelves in two areas, 2 stationary bikes, and a strider (elliptical?). However, with the pandemic still an issue and capacity limitations in place, classes are currently limited to 12 people total (6 treadmill spots and 6 rower spots, with the option of someone using a bike or strider). Classes right now are 45 minutes instead of 60, but with the frequent transitions and "blocks," you definitely get an incredible workout in! The office staff are superb as well, and they're there to troubleshoot any issue or answer any question one may have. Two bathrooms, two showers, MANY lockers, a few water stations, and an amazing sense of community is found here! If you've been on the fence about giving it a try, I can only tell you that I am SO glad I did 18 months ago. I fell in love immediately and have never looked back!
