High Altitude Martial Arts

Had to update my previous review from 4 to 5 stars. Been here 6 months now for my ten year old for bjj and he has absolutely loved it. It has given him so much confidence. The coaches are great and he has improved so much– I owe them a big thanks. The gym is clean and functional and the people are nice. I’m so happy we found it!

My daughter takes the kickboxing class. She absolutely loves it. The staff is very nice.

High altitude is a top notch training facility for martial arts and fitness. The facility is very clean and the staff it’s very professional. Whether you are looking to be a pro or you just want to come in and get a workout, they have what you are looking for. One of my favorite things is that you see and learn from the owner of the facility. I always liked this better then a place that just had people working there. Awesome friendly family environment

Friendly people, best instructors in Colorado!
This is the best MMA, BJJ and kickboxing. It has a nice family friendly atmosphere here, definitely will enroll my kids here!!!

Big gym with lots of mat space and a cage. The place is super clean and doesn’t smell like sweaty, dirty socks.
The instructors were all very knowledgeable, patient and super friendly. They make everyone feel welcome and at home. They offer a variety of classes from beginner to very advanced. Pricing is very competitive and they have different packages that can work within your budget. They even have kids classes! The owner is a retired UFC fighter and he trains professional athletes there as well. UFC and ESPN actually did some filming there not too long ago.
I have no intentions on becoming a professional mixed martial artist but I still get great workouts from kickboxing and sport fit classes. I also took a couple beginner BJJ classes to learn some basic self defense. Love it!

There’s an eclectic mix of instructors here. With the different courses they offer it translates to a little something for everyone.
The instructor Cody practiced martial arts professionally and it shows. He enjoys teaching as much as he takes his trade seriously.
The place is recently remodeled and looks very nice.
They offer a lot of introductory classes so it may become a fun new way to stay in shape. It’s owned and operated by Denver residents so worst case scenario you’ll support a local business!

I have been in search of the perfect gym for what best suites my needs. High Altitude is it! The gym it self fits my needs! Its very clean and the instructors are very knowledgable and helpful!

I’ll admit, I had some doubts about enrolling my son in MMA at first, but within a week, those doubts were gone. He’s been a student at HAMA for a year and a half, and we couldn’t be happier. The gym is family-​friendly and has huge kids classes. The coaches are tough and have high expectations, but they are fair and kind. The owner, Professor Cody Donovan, is on site every single day, giving tips, teaching classes, and helping out. The only regret I have is that my son didn’t start training here sooner.

I have always been interested in taking a self defense class but I have never had enough courage to do so. This gym makes the beginning process feel so natural. The front desk guy, Joe, is so welcoming, helpful, and is always willing to answer any questions anyone has.
I have taken both BJJ and kickboxing classes and I thoroughly enjoy them both. I’ve taken BJJ classes with Avery, Cody, Shaun, and Pat. They each have their own unique teaching style and I like that everyday is different. I’ve taken kickboxing classes with Jarrod, Corbin, and Cory and they are awesome. I loved that everyone was patient with me being a newbie but quickly expected me to just jump right in and give it my all. I need that kind of motivation!
This place has some amazing people, not only instructors, but students as well. It really is like a unique family here with a special bond.
There are a variety of classes offered both in the mornings and in the afternoons so it’s easy to work around my schedule! I’m glad I started training here and encourage everyone to at least try it out. I know the thought of walking into one of these classes for the first time is extremely overwhelming, I still feel like that once in awhile, but they’ll walk you through the process and you’ll love it!

I started training Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu (BJJ) 4 months ago at High Altitude Martial Arts (Easton Training Center — Aurora), primarily in the adult co-​ed BJJ Fundamentals classes. Whether you are looking to learn BJJ for self-​defense or for love of the art, I will say that one of the first things you’ll notice is the high-​caliber of instruction from the coaches and professors at this academy. The two main professors include Cody Donovan, former UFC Light-​Heavy weight and Black Belt in BJJ under Nate «The Great» Marquardt, and Christian Allen, former Ring of Fire Bantamweight Champion. Other notable BJJ instructors include Chaun Simms (BJJ black belt under Amal Easton), Pat Garland BJJ Brown Belt, and purple belts Avery Benitez and Mike Heft. With regards to affiliations, this gym is affiliated with Renzo Gracie as well as Easton Training Center. As previously mentioned, I focus almost all of my training on BJJ, however it should be noted that the Muay Thai and MMA classes offered here are also really, really good and it’s cool that I can throw them into the my training regimen to mix things up.
Another thing I really appreciate about this academy is the ample time slots that classes are offered (several in the morning and several in the evening). This allows for the opportunity to fit training into your busy schedule.
If you have kids, I would HIGHLY encourage enrolling them into the children BJJ/​Muay Thai. It’s really awesome seeing them learn from such a young age the value of discipline, respect, honor, and hard work. Also, parents can have peace of mind knowing that their kids won’t get bullied!

I desperately needed to get in shape. I took the sportsfit and cardio kickboxing and lost 20lbs. Although it is a martial arts gym I felt comfortable and excited to take classes.

This is the best school for MMA, BJJ and kickboxing. The SportFit class is fun too. I love the instructors there. It has a nice, family friendly atmosphere.

The best place to go! Good friendly people, the best instructors in Colorado, hey Nate the great Marquardt no more need be said.
