My granddaughter has been participating at Mile High Karate since September. She was first introduced at school, where classes where held at her school. She had an interest after 4 weeks of joining the classes at the Westminster office. When she began attending at the Westminster office is when I had an opportunity to go and watch her classes and see the program they have first hand. I was impressed. Its just not about Karate, its about other life skills she is learning. Yes, sir - Yes, Mam is used at all times in the class and although my daughter and her husband are a bit uncomfortable with their daughter calling them with this respect, I do not. Respect is missing in our culture, and the Martial Arts has a foundation based on respect. Learning about how to handle situations with strangers and how to protect yourself with your words was powerful learning for her and the other students. I told my Daughter I would pay for her training and when you look at the rate vs. the number of hours of training available it was very competitive to what Mom pays for her dancing. After several months, my granddaughter made the decision she wanted to pursue becoming a Black Belt. A packet of information was provided that talked about the committment needed over the next 4 to 6 years for her to obtain it. Now she is only 6 1/2 years old, but she is already is a high achiever in school, with Dancing and now with Karate. The owner and his wife, along with their staff, all who began Karate at Mile High at a younger age are good people. They take interest in the students and they make it fun. This past weekend was a special event of Saturday. A special class for the entire school was held where the students learned how to break boards! The first hour and half was learning how to visualize their goal, and practicing on cushioned hand pads held between two concrete blocks. By the end of the Special Event my granddaughter broke 3 boards as did many of the other students by themselves. And even those who were not able to on their own, got assistance from the instructions, who cradled their hands and "helped" them break the boards. The looks on kids faces even younger than my daughter, with now holding two boards where there was once one, was powerful. I have two sons who were in the Scouting program and both achieved and are Eagle Scouts. I see similarities in Scouting with the program at Mile High Karate. Character development was just as important in Scouting as was the camping and other activities. Same in Mile High Karate program. Just like Scouting, Karate is not for every kid's parents. Same held true in Scouting where some parents saw a commitment to go camping every month as a deal breaker. But the benefits in both program for those who stay with it can be life changing and can help mold them for later in life. I am grateful my granddaughter is in this program. She loves it and she likes the friends she has met. read more

I am a 3rd degree black belt and the Head Instructor at Mile High Karate in Westminster and I know my opinion may appear biased but I truly, 100% love MHK. My experience began 10 years ago when my brothers and I loved the MHK after-school program and my parents decided to join with us! We all were white belts once upon a time. Personally, I know that this program has helped me grow in so many ways. I was super shy and reserved; now I am confident and am not afraid to stand up in front of a crowd and speak about the importance of respect, self-discipline, and focus. I've also realized my hidden passion for teaching through being an instructor at Mile High Karate. I've worked with everyone from little 3-5 year olds to full-grown adults, as well as with people who have disabilities or claimed in the beginning, "Karate wasn't for them." Teaching martial arts may not be a traditional job and people may not fully understand when I tell them, but I know that I've gained all the experience I need for any workplace. I've learned the qualities of a dedicated employee and successful leader and I know that I'll be able to take my training here and apply it anywhere I go in life. I love the people here and I always feels like family both with my fellow staff as well as with my students. If you asked me would I ever go back and change something in my life, my answer would be, "I wish I had started karate sooner!" I know that I would not be the person I am today without Mile High Karate. read more

I previously wrote a review. I explained all the benefits MHK Westminster has provided. I now feel that the bond between the parents has intensified. Everyone is now part of an elite bonding group. We all have various backgrounds, and interests. I look forward to my daughter's classes, more so now, for my benefit to hang out with the other parents (and adult students)! Instructors are on their "A-game" ! They work with all types of students, ages, sizes, mentality and focus. MHKWestminster, staff and students are FAMILY to us! read more

Do not send your kids here unless you want to pay for them to "buy" their black belt for 25k, your gonna pay! And be under contract! Don't do it! It is like a used car dealership! read more

They lock you into a 1-year contract, and then pressure you to join the "Leadership" club - for more than double the price. If you don't join, they segregate you (or your child!) and make you feel like an outsider for not joining. Oh - and you pay an additional $48/mo for "Activities" THAT DOESN'T CANCEL when your contract expires. Beware! read more

Mile High Karate has been such an amazing experience for our family. It has helped our bored 10 year old find passion in a sport. It has helped our 13 year old with her confidence and adhd. Within a year of the program we were able to take her fully off her adhd meds. My husband and myself also joined the program and we are about a year and a half away from black belt. Its been such an amazing journey. The Westminster school has passionate and dedicated instructors that truly care about all of their students. We are so grateful that we joined this school. The fact that we could join as a family and work towards a common goal is priceless. read more
