They offer a trial period of I believe 4 classes plus a gi for $29, so we felt comfortable giving it a try. Our child enjoyed it so much so we signed them up with a 6 month membership. I really have enjoyed all of my interactions with everyone at the dojo so far. There is a definite positive energy there and I love that it is family owned. I have noticed a definite improvement in my child's attitude and self confidence. Plus it's a great way to get them off of their screens and for them to have social interaction outside of the house. We look forward to seeing them grow and learn with the help of Kenpo Karate. I highly recommend!!!!

The instructors are incredibly patient, motivating and kind. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to train with these strong and skilled instructors, particularly Master H and Master Natzke. There are also a myriad of wonderful junior and adult assistant instructors and I love each of them. When I sprained my ankle numerous times last year and have gone through other medical issues, the administrative staff were understanding and supportive and I had no issues pausing my account. There is such a great atmosphere and it truly is a UMAC family - I highly recommend visiting for a free class.

The facility is quite nice, offering quality equipment, clean and well laid out. Plenty of space for a larger class but small enough to get direct work with the instructors. Listening to the lead instructor, this is a no nonsense studio, teaching kids and adults discipline, maturity, respect and how to overcome difficulties. Wish there was more of this in our world! From our friend's experience and our observation, I'd highly recommend this dojo to anyone looking to learn on their own or for the whole family!

I overheard a brown belt talking about how they trained at 6 other gyms before landing with Katharo and that was because the head Professor Steve Hordinski teaches control over your opponent in a way that minimizes their ability to strike, making the jiu jitsu taught at Katharo relevant for actual self defense. There are many higher belts who are willing to roll and teach even the newest students. If you're thinking of starting BJJ this is the place to learn.

What incentive is there for kids to try hard when it doesn't really matter if they try or not? When I was in Karate, we had to try hard just to get a stripe, or 2 or 3. These people are passing out belts like a free meal on Colfax. I wouldn't recommend. You should be awarded based on skill, not on if you pay your monthly bill.

Spirit Warrior stays true to traditional martial arts and teaches discipline through hard work and perseverance. I was new to Colorado before joining, and the atmosphere here helped me gain new friends and mentors; it's a big family. From a parents perspective, my son (Age 8) is more respectful and hard working. Before, he just wanted to play video games and sit in his room. Now he has gained the confidence to do things outside that he was once afraid of. I am complimented continuously as well on his manners while speaking to adults. From an adult students perspective, I have seen growth in my own life. It's helped me become more grateful and courteous for things in life and in my career. I'm more focused on tasks and patient with issues that arise. I highly recommend Spirit Warrior and encourage ALL to try it out.

Spirit Warrior Martial Arts Academy is exceptionally unique in this world of cookie cutter; buy…read moreyour belt, fast food style, martial arts franchises. The emphasis at Spirit Warrior is on strengthening ones mind, body and spirit. No one aspect is more important then the other. Both my kids (age 8 & 9) have grown tremendously over the course of a little more than a year since they've been students. They are expected to understand and adhere to the 5 tenets of Taekwondo (Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-control, and Indomitable Spirit) at all times, not just inside the dojang. I'm grateful and incredibly proud to say that through Spirit Warrior Martial Arts School we have seen our kids develop a healthy sense of self worth, respect for others, increased focus, and perseverance. With that said, Spirit Warrior Martial Arts is not simply for kids, as I myself (42) have been a student for a year as well. Sabumnim Chuck Niemi teaches every class so you know you are getting the very best level of instruction and attention. You will not find your adult class or your children's class outsourced to an inexperienced instructor. Expectations are very high at Spirit Warrior and it is very clear that Sabumnim Niemi not only expects that of his students but of himself as well. Simply put, everything is earned at Spirit Warrior Martial Arts. You will not find 10 year old black belts at the school. What you will find though is a true sense of family, hard work, high expectations, courtesy, respect, support, caring, and big smiles from a true sense of accomplishment. Finally, I would highlight three general areas to look for in a true martial arts school, all of which Spirit Warrior Martial Arts Academy has, and none of the others we researched (exhaustively) had. 1.) The instruction and knowledge comes first over fees, charges, and revenue generating activities such as martial arts themed birthday parties. (You won't find those here). 2.) The training is based upon the real world, not on how cool you can look, but on whether it is effective to protect you and your loved ones. The emphasis at Spirit Warrior is to never have to fight, to always seek a peaceful way, but if that is absolutely impossible, to be able to respond in order to protect oneself and those you care for. 3.) Purposeful, quality instruction that builds upon itself. There are no shortcuts at Spirit Warrior simply to collect your next advancement fee. If nothing else...give it a try! You won't be disappointed!
