Dark Horse Combat Club - Denver, Colorado

Love this place, and I am especially grateful for all of the people that make it what it is. The gym is lead by excellent, passionate, and committed coaches and is home to upper belts who really love the sport and who are also some of the kindest and most encouraging people I know. Over the last two years I've been going here, I've had the opportunity to really grow not just as an athlete but as a person. If you're looking for a place where people are really genuinely rooting for you, then look no further, you've found it here at Dark Horse.

Joined a class as a walk-in visiting from out of state and was very impressed. Atmosphere was great. I really enjoyed the format of the class. Phill was a great instructor, and the open rolls were respectful. I can't wait to return.

I’ve trained here for 3 years…best BJJ gym in Denver. Great students and instructors! More importantly they have the best kids program around because Arianna is a phenomenal instructor!

Been here for 6 years. I love this place. It has made me.

The room is full of people invested in your success. Everyone gives their know-how away freely and willingly. No hardos, no toxic culture. Incredibly welcoming to all- gi, no gi, serious competitors, and hobbyists. Great sense of humor.

Professor Dude and Coebra are a wealth of knowledge. Coach Phil keeps that place running and clean.

Shower there too is great for morning commutes.

I’ve been training at Dark Horse for around 6 months now, and it’s been an amazing and positive experience! No surprise that Dark Horse has so many 5-star reviews.

Everyone is positive, welcoming, takes their training seriously and strives to grow, but also keeps it fun. I’ve made some great friends here already and there’s a definite sense of community.

The coaches, especially Coach Phill who leads a lot of the beginner classes, makes it welcoming for newbies while also challenging you to improve daily.

Facility is clean - has showers and changing rooms. Occasionally parking can be sparse, but you can always find street parking nearby.

Lots of classes to choose from daily, no egos - the higher belts are welcoming to lower belts and willing to train with them and help them learn and improve.

Can’t recommend it enough! Come by and see for yourself!

I went to two morning classes (6am). First was taught by Jake, other was taught by Zack.

The class was phenomenal, great instruction and very friendly classmates. I brought some of my coworkers in and Zack altered the program to accommodate them since they were beginners.

I highly recommend training here for a friendly and positive vibe!

I've been training at Dark Horse for about 5.5 years and it has been an absolute godsend. The gym is chalked full of wonderful people who truly seek to support you in becoming your best self, and there is nothing that puts life's issues in perspective quite like jiu jitsu does. I cannot say enough good things about the gym and would recommend it to anyone.
