Martial Arts Schools in Fort Collins

“The tai ji class at Kaizen IBBA is everything I was looking for. Sensei Jauch offers a gentle guidance through the movements, demonstrates their martial application, explains the philosophy behind it (Tao) and its interconnectedness with nature, relationships, and everything else in the world.I have been attending the class for a month now and it sparked my curiosity to learn more about qigong and traditional Chinese medicine. It makes me more aware of how much tension I hold throughout my body, if I sit/stand poorly, or if my breathing is relaxed or constricted. This is somewhat difficult to explain, but it also helps me understand my own nature and the benefits I can enjoy when I fully embrace it.I know learning tai ji is a long journey, but right now I am exactly where I need to be. At the beginning. :)“

“This is THE spot in Northern CO. Hands down, you found it. I've been here about a year, and they're fricken stuck with me. I've never been welcomed into an ohana like the one that is born and bred on the mats of Trials MMA.There's only 1 thing better then a solid workout, and that's when there are amazing people to do it with.You will learn practical, sound principles, and train with people who will respectfully push you to be better than you were yesterday.Professors Steve and Nate have complimentary styles, and you get a solid approach to feel very well rounded grappling, and playing jiu jitsu.I've made a few lifelong friends, and greatly value the wide variety of experience and reasons people are there. You'll train with parents that got into it with their kids, accountants, bodybuilders, pro fighters, weekend warriors - everybody.“

“Great place to start or continue your martial arts journey. Once you step a foot in this place you will recognize the great environment that Sensei Charles fosters. As someone who tried first classes at various other martial arts schools, I can say with confidence that your first class is make or break type of class. In this Dojo your first class will not feel overwhelming since it will be catered to your level. You will not have to work with an overly aggressive partner who tries their hardest to show off their skills leaving you with a feeling of complete disappointment. In this place you will feel that you belong as soon as you step in.“
