Martial Arts Schools near Edgewater

“I highly recommend Universal Kempo Karate. Every time you enter you will be warmly welcomed by Jamie - who is not just an excellent instructor, but a wonderful human being. Jamie is super friendly and extremely approachable. He makes it a point to have one-on-one conversations with all the parents. Our son absolutely loves the time he spends at Universal Kempo Karate. While he isn’t naturally inclined towards sports, this program has been a great outlet and we haven't observed him get frustrated like with other sports and it's the only place he gets a good dose of exercise. He has advanced rapidly, testament to both his efforts and the nurturing environment of the school. I'm not an expert on martial arts school class structures but we really like the flow of each class. Each class begins with a not-too-strenuous warm-up, followed by genuine martial arts drills tailored for all age groups, often sometimes includes more strenuous runs and typically mostly entails defense, attach, weapon drills or sparing. The fellowship hall is spacious and there is always plenty of room for the students. A special shout-out to Dominic, who is great with the students and an excellent practitioner. If you're looking for an inclusive, friendly, and professional karate school for your child, check out Universal Kempo Karate! Not only will your child learn karate as a martial art, but also they will be encouraged to develop life principles like discipline, respect, and self-confidence.“

“Amazing people at this gym. Everyone is helpful and knowledgeable. Make you feel at home right away.“

“I've been taking my son here for a long while now and I must say they are really great at what they do to teach my son and his peers the fundamentals of boxing and martial arts and their overall well-being both mentally and physically.“

“Top notch gym/Jiu Jitsu class for kids! Especially for 3yr+ I have a strong willed 3 year old who has sensory issues, enough energy to run a power grid and struggles with routine. The coaches are so kind and patient and have worked with my kid at her pace and have allowed me to work in her accommodations ❤️ There has already been such a huge impact on her confidence, her social skills, and learning new things from new adults. The facility is great, the vibe is immaculate, family friendly. My husband also trains here and it's just a great place.“

“I am constantly impressed with how well this establishment is run! They are super organized, great with communication and inspire my son to be his best in every single class. Incredible staff; each and every administrator and instructor CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR CHILD. They are full of love and support! They also challenge you to be your very best on and off the floor. Great community, highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love this place! Starting a martial art at 37 was kind of intimidating, however, I am so happy I did. The instructors have been so nice and welcoming. Also, all the other students Are very kind and I feel right at home. I would recommend this place for anyone. It doesn’t matter your skill, level age, weight, physical fitness level, this place works for everyone! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend to all my friends and family!“

“Taekwondo has been a huge part of my life since I was two years old. It has helped me build up self-confidence in all areas of my life, including my schooling and education. Without all of the help from the instructors and fellow students at CTI I would not be as successful as I am now. All of the people are respectful and polite to fellow students and parents which creates a prime learning environment for all ages. This is also something that is great to do as a family because you can work out and have fun at the same time!***UPDATE- Colorado Taekwondo Institute is still such a big part of my life and it always will be. It continues to help me build my self-directed learning and confidence. It has been a huge reason of why I'm successful in my Pharmacy doctorate program currently. This school builds well-rounded students who will be successful in whatever they do. Would 10/10 recommend!!!“

“First session was amazing. Really got the most out of our 3yr old and 8yr old. Very well done“

“I've started Taekwondo classes since I was 7. Now, I am 16, and still excited and engaged to learn about many new possibilities and challenges yet to come. The instructors are welcoming, respectful and know how to work well with others. You learn a lot from these classes from personal values to physical aspects, ranging in many different skills and new things to learn. I can say that going to Colorado Taekwondo Institute classes, have changed my life, and made me meet so many nice people and friends. I totally recommend CTI classes for any new beginners!“

“My son has been going here for several years now. It's a family owned studio with highly skilled and educated instructors. This is the best thing we did for him. This year, he earned his black belt. He has made some great friends as well as learned the meaning of respect, hard work, and the feeling of accomplishment. If you're looking for a fantastic studio, I can not express enough how much I recommend them!“

“This place is such a great start to martial arts. We are only 4 months in but they are so great with the kiddos! We love it here!“

“Excellent teaching staff and programs. My whole family enjoys the club! I would highly recommend this dojo for anyone or any family wanting to learn self defense and improve physical well being!“

“My 4 year old son was having a tough time feeling comfortable in the group setting. When I expressed my concern to Master Pederson, after thinking we would just have to withdraw from the studio, she offered many creative solutions to help him feel more confident in class. Master Pederson was so kind, compassionate, understanding and supportive for both my son and myself. My son is now fully confident and excited to participate in group classes! I highly suggest Victory Martial Arts - Arvada if you are looking to get your little one into this amazing activity. We wouldn't have gotten over this obstacle without Master Pederson and Mrs. Downs. Thank you both!“

“Just had my first massage here with Barbara! She was wonderful and I left feeling so much more relaxed. Highly recommend!“

“A traditional karate dojo that is a great experience for both kids and adults. There is a strong sense of community, discipline, and a sense accomplishment for students as they progress. My son is excited to come to every class and I never feel pressured that he is getting behind. I would recommend this dojo for any new students of any age that are curious of a unique and fantastic experience“

“One of the best decisions i have ever made. Sifu Post has taught me so much and I've grown a lot in the nearly 2 years that I attended. While there I not only learned how to fight, i learned to focus my energy into more positive things in life, and met some amazing people along the way. In doing so I have become more aware of what I want from life and it has helped me to set goals and achieve them. Unfortunately my decision to leave Colorado means that i can no longer train with Sifu Post. My experience here will stick with me for life and I’m very grateful to have found this place. I hope to keep pursuing martial arts, but this place certainly ignited a spark.“

“Did my first self defense training class today and it was very informative and also super fun! Instructor clearly knows his stuff, I highly recommend!“

“The best place to learn martial arts with an instructor with a lot of experience in the field,highly recommend“

“I hadn’t done any martial arts since I was just a young kid. I decided to give it a try At 37. It can be intimidating walking into a gym with zero experience but I have to say I absolutely love this place! Very nice and welcoming culture, the instructors are great. also, I have two kids and it is definitely a family-friendly environment. Five out of five would recommend.“

“As a newcomer to King Fu I felt very welcome. Based on my experience, I hope to continue my training.“

“We love everything about this place, it is great for us as homeschooling parents, this is his gym, teachers are awesome!“

“At this Dojo, students learn traditional Japanese Shotokan Karate, Kendo, Iaido. Instruction is conducted in a safe learning environment with quality teachers.“

“CAMA has been a powerful influence on my daughter's life. She started as a white belt at age 7 and earned her black belt at age 11 (youth rank). Now at age 15, she's in the adult classes working her way up the ranks. We are, of course, proud of her accomplishments but I can say with certainty her success is directly related to the support she has been given by her sensei's over the years. She stayed with jujitsu all this time because of the amazing instructors. She was encouraged when she struggled, she was guided when she was not focused (with needed sternness at times), she has felt accepted and recognizes that she belongs in the CAMA "tribe" every single moment she's been there. The folks at CAMA care about their students. The sensei's love what they do and they are exemplary role models. They are passionate about teaching the principles of kempo jujistu and the experience you gain in working with them will change your life. We are incredibly thankful that Roland, Laurel and the CAMA staff has been part of developing our daughter into the capable young adult she is today. You cannot go wrong by going with Colorado Academy of Martial Arts.“

“Thank you for a great Self Defense class. The Denver Salsa Community was empowered by your knowledge. We highly recommend you and your staff.“

“So I have dropped in to some open mats, trained ranoris and taken classes with this group. I have always felt welcome, safe, learned something and had fun. An extra shout out to Coach Eric for always being so supportive, willing to break down things and complimentary also“

“We started looking for a school when my son was four and wanted to be a ninja. In all honesty we decided to try here because of the reviews. To say it was a good decision is an understatement…4 years later we are still here and loving it. Master Black brings amazing energy and passion for her students to succeed, her instructors are amazing and bring the same energy too. We love it here and would not go anywhere else.“
