My son has been training at Bom Jitsu for 7 months now and absolutely loves it. The staff and…read moreinstructors all make him feel welcome and he has truly become part of the Bom Jitsu family. Kids classes (my son is 12) are held Monday through Thursday and also on Friday for those seeking to compete. The facility is clean, generally has a lot of space for the kids to warmup and then roll, and the professors all treat the kids respectfully - although they do push them to work hard and improve their technique. I want to especially commend Professor Gui and Professor Rebekah for all their positive interactions with my son. They both always make it a point to say hello and speak to him before class, asking how he is doing, how school is going, and just general questions about him. That personal touch has not gone unnoticed by me, and other parents have commented on the same for their children. Adult classes are also offered, and from the turn out I see each evening (classes begin immediately after the kids class, at 6pm) - the adult students are also impressed with the facility and instruction. Bom Jitsu is truly a family and I am glad to have found them in Castle Rock.

Kru Rad and Jennifer have built an inviting, friendly, challenging academy that fosters not just…read moretechnique and confidence, but community and friendship. I've been coming for a year and the gym is always clean with positive energy from competitors, children and casual participants alike. I have trained at numerous academies in my life and I can say confidently that Kru Rad and the growing coaching staff are focused on skill development as well as that community vibe that keeps me coming back. For all of my advancement tests, I have fallen outside the scheduled testing period. There has never been an issue with scheduling a private test. It has allowed me to relax about preparation, going at my pace to ensure I am developing my skills. This community extends beyond the four walls of the gym. Frequent guest instructors from around the area and beyond come in to teach great seminars. If you're looking to start out, are returning from years away, or are looking for a competitive gym to get you ready for fights, you can't do better than RAD Muay Thai and BJJ.

What I especially like is the variety of class options and times, and the unlimited nature of the monthly fee. You can come in as many times as you want, and there are both morning and evening classes (for adults), jiu jitsu and striking, gi and no-gi, at beginner (which I am) and increasingly advanced levels. Learning jiu jitsu is difficult by nature, but the instructors are welcoming to beginners and willing to help. The front desk is also helpful and welcoming. The kids have class options daily, and can come every day, or not. My children have learned so much and made new friends. The instructors are fantastic and clearly enjoy teaching children. There is a sense of enjoyment and kindness without sacrificing order and self-discipline. High Altitude is competition-focused and advertises opportunities for various tournaments in the metro area, including in-house. My only wish is that they would offer a self-defense-specific class, but that's just not their focus. I would recommend High Altitude for anyone looking to start learning, or advance their current skills.
