Best Martial Arts and Combat Sports Classes in Aurora, CO

Dress the same way you would if you went to the gym. We train barefoot but you can also wear socks if you have nasty stank feet. Seriously though foot hygiene is a thing.

Our Jeet Kune Do classes are designed for beginners and experienced folks alike. Most of our students started as beginners to martial arts so they know what it is like to be nervous and apprehensive. The drills we do in class scale to your proficiency level. You will only ever train at a pace that you are ready for. For instance if we are blocking punches we will show you how to defend them and then throw them very slowly at you until you get the hang of it. Then as you get better the punches come faster. Regardless you will always feel like you are making progress and will not be overwhelmed or beat up. One day when you are the experienced fighter and a new person starts you will be the one slowing down and helping your new classmate build confidence. Iron sharpens iron.

We use training pistols, rubber and foam knives, focus mitts, boxing gloves, escrima sticks on occasion, heavy bag, kicking shield, but most of our training is done without equipment just focusing on applying correct techniques and tactics with your training partner(s).

Everyone in the fitness industry has their favorite dogmas about how you should exercise but I base mine on the research and what has been proven to work in the real work with athletes of various kinds. We select exercises and training methods that build muscle and strength, improve the health of your joints, and improve your flexibility (active range of motion). All of the training is individualized to your current level. You will not be keeping up with the rest of the class, instead you will have your own weights and do your own workout based upon the customizable template. You will always be in charge of your own rest breaks and how much total work you do. As your fitness improves you will be able to do more which will improve your gains.

My youngest client is 14 and my oldest is 75. We train adult men and women. We train responsible mature teenagers as well. Our training is not going to be appropriate for children until they get to the age that they can stay focused and want to improve.
