He helped me with self-defense modalities to bring confidence so that an assault will not happen to me again. He was very respectful of my boundaries and sensitivities from my assault. He always approached me in such a gentle manner while also teaching me very helpful skills in getting away from and defending myself if ever attacked. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn skills that are helpful in building confidence in your surroundings around you.

Up until about 3 1/2 months ago, I thought it was the best dojo in the world, because it really was great. Sensei Kaz was dedicated, kind, disciplined, fun but strict when needed. He was the best instuctor you could possibly ask for. About 3 1/2-4ish months ago, right before a tournament, the masters stripped him of his position at the dojo. They moved him away and stripped one of his belt ranks and replaced him with Master Clark's daughter. They did this with no explanation to the parents or the students and when asked they said that Sensei Kaz was doing "advanced training" at the Northgate dojo, but it has been over 3 months and he still is not back. I thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn't. At the tournament, I saw Sensei Kaz looking worse than I had ever seen him, sad, lonely, and missing a belt rank and his instructors uniform. For no reason whatsoever, he was stripped of his certification, his dojo, and a belt rank. To add insult to injury, Sensei Hannah, the woman who took over for Sensei Kaz, made multiple changes to the dojo, disrupting students routine. She canceled the demonstration team at the dojo, she canceled the instructor program where students get to shadow and learn the process of being an instructor, she combined the teens and adults classes on Saturday, and she completely changed the class structure. Not only that, but she also made multiple price increases. Needless to say, I am switching dojo's and would no longer recommend Z. It used to be a great dojo, but now it has turned into a money farm and a belt factory. They used to prioritize students, now they prioritize a quick buck and it all changed in a week, surely shows how much they care about the well-being of their students. If you value proper training, useable skills, and earning your belts, I do not recommend. If you want to pay an arm and a leg for basic training plus an extra fee for belt tests just so that you can be pumped through with everyone else to increase another persons profit, then go right ahead and sign up. So sad to say this because Z really was the best part of my life for so long, but none of the instructors at that dojo care anymore, the only of who gave a crap about the students was Sensei Kaz and he was removed for just that. If you do choose to sign a contract with Z, good luck. By the way, Sensei Hannah is not the problem, she is actually verry nice, a little annoying with the amount of times she calls about minute things, but nice. It's the way the dojo in general is treating people, including their long standing instructors.

DC Fighters is the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school to train in Colorado Springs. I have trained in…read morefour other schools throughout my BJJ journey, and here are the top seven reasons I think DC Fighters is the best. 1. Professors Mike and Alec bring the most up-to-date BJJ technique to the curriculum. They never hold back instruction and will patiently guide students from the fundamentals through the most up-to-date techniques developed in the ever-evolving sport of BJJ. 2. Prof. Mike is a retired Soldier who understands what it's like to start and stop training due to deployments and PCS. He has a true knack for assessing a person within their journey. 3. Students learn both sport jiu-jitsu, judo, and self-defense. As a student, you have the freedom to develop and focus where your interests lie. I was interested in becoming a coach, and Mike developed a program just for me to make that happen. 4. For those who already practice and are considering DC Fighters, I think it's fair to say we all hate the ambiguity culture of BJJ and not knowing how we are doing and progressing. Not at DC Fighters, Mike and Alec will tell you exactly where they think you are and what you need to work on to get to the next level in your journey. 5. If you have kids, OMG, this is the place to go! Mike and Alec are fantastic with Kids. Classes are fun and well structured. As kids progress, they have opportunities to compete all the way up to world-level tournaments. Mike is a natural-born coach and leader with many championship kids under his wing. He also provides a safe environment for kids to learn about themselves and test themselves physically and mentally. 6. Training at DC Fighters will allow you to be affiliated with DC Fighters Infight Jiu-Jitsu directly out of Rio, Brazil. Mike is an International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) certified 1st degree Black Belt and the first American to earn a Black Belt from DC Fighters in Brazil. Training at DC Fighters provided me the legitimacy of certifying my belts with the IBJJF. 7. DC Fighters is a huge family. I think Mike has like ten of his own kids, and they all train there, lol! Seriously, Mike and his family are good, warm, and welcoming people. They do what they do for their family and the love of the sport. I encourage you to drop in and see for yourself. Regardless of whether you're brand new or have been training for years, I would love to see you on the mat!

But my 11 year old has been in their program under a year and after multiple competition wins in jujitsu is graduating to some Muay Thai training directly from coach. They are great with kids but also the adult classes are amazing. My older son went to another gym and didn't last a year. He got lost in the very high numbers and coaches had a hard time remembering his 3 letter name. This isn't the case here. Coaches know my son and love him and are biting their nails when he competes , and are so proud when he does well. That love and caring that I see from coaches , and teammates is gonna keep my son here for good. Located in the chapel hills mall it's a great location you can get some exercise walking the mall if you want or even use the Matt's if you like. Give it a try DC fighters. You won't regret it! Bud.
