Best Mma Gym near Aurora, Colorado

It’s been a year and half since I started training with Coach Rad. His teaching style makes it easy for everyone to understand Muay Thai. He encourages you to reach your full potential while emphasizing the importance of technique. The vibe of this place is so welcoming for both beginners and advanced practitioners alike. My classmates are very supportive as well. I highly recommend it—it’s my happy place!

This place is amazing! Brought my 15-year-old son, and they took him immediately and made him feel like family. They are very respectful, hard working, accommodating, and encouraging!! In this day & age, for a young man to have a group of people that challenge & hold each other accountable is priceless!! He is now more confident! So happy we found this place!

There is a great sense of community, family, & belonging at Rad Muay Thai. The school has a strong martial arts culture/feel which is great for all ages and skill levels. I feel lucky to have found this school to continue my martial arts journey.

My kids have been training here for about 3 years and I have for months.we absolutely love this gym! Kru Rad and Jennifer are amazing and easy to talk too.the community they have built is fantastic.they have some awesome coaches,everyone is so polite, positive and helpful!Id recommend them to anyone who wants to learn Muay Thai or BJJ.have had a great experience all around!

A passionate school that not only teaches you how to fight, but it will teaches you about life as well. Kru Rad, is a very fun teacher, but also stern. The class WILL teach you Muay Thai, from the punches and kicks, to the gritty clinch fighting. I would recommend this place with a 5 stars!

Our 10 year old daughter was practicing martial arts at another school and she really fell in love with the sport. We decided to try PMA in Aurora and we are beyond happy with our decision. Tami, the owner is so welcoming and kind. Alex, the head instructor is maybe the most amazing instructor I have ever witnessed teach my child. He in engaging with the kids, he gives them the space to be themselves, he is hilarious and all while teaching them martial arts techniques and skills to help them be better not only in class but life.

My daughter went to a trial class with her best friend and enjoyed it. No one who worked there mentioned the kids having to be potty trained and didn’t mention anything on their website either. Her friend’s parents had no idea either. My husband and I decide to let her join and we were denied over text cause our daughter wears pull ups. The pull ups help keep all the waste secured if needed so it won’t get on the mats or expose other children. I don’t see how this is an issue for a 30min class once a week. I didn’t even mention her wearing pull ups or anything either. Kids who are potty trained can have accidents too and it would be all over the mats. I felt like the owner gave some BS excuse. Anyways, we went to a different martial arts place for twice a week and they said potty trained or not, it isn't an issue.

Our daughter has been attending PMA Araphoe for the last year. In that time, her courage, kindness, and determination has immensely improved. The entire staff is welcoming and kind at every interaction. Whether you're looking for a fun after-school activity or a community for your kid, this is the place to be. Thank you - Mr. Mann, Ms. B, Mr Shawn(?) and of course Mrs. Tami for giving out kids a fun and safe place to learn Martial Arts.

I have absolutely nothing but WONDERFUL words for PMA Brighton! Our family loves being apart of the team here ! It’s definitely good vibes here , instructors are amazing they truly care about the kids and help them grow while also developing their own skills which shows me they take the art seriously ! Oh and to just add the facility itself is well taken care of and clean so there’s that fun fact for ya !

They are the best!! We’ve been a part of PMA Arapahoe for a year and couldn’t have asked for a better Martial Arts program for our son. The students build healthy habits like following instructions, focus, and self-discipline. They learn self-defense techniques while having fun. You can see the confidence growing in the kids each week. We definitely recommend PMA Arapahoe and the amazing instructors!!

I would highly recommend National Martial Arts Academy. I have attended here along with now all three of my children and we love it here. Very family oriented. I have seen huge changes with my twin Sons in their overall behavior, self esteem and performance in school since they started attending here. The leadership here does excellent with my children as well. If you are looking for a martial arts school for your family, this is it!

Everyone was very friendly and made sure that all of our questions were answered. So far only did a try out today, but my son loved it, so we will be coming here 2x a week. All the staff were so patient and kind and helpful. There was no negativity in the academy. All positive vibes-high fives, encouragement, and keep the attention of my 4 year old. I really think he is going to benefit a lot from this class. We will be coming twice a week. He didn’t even want to go but as soon as he got there he was hooked!

NMAA is amazing, I cannot recommend this school enough! The instructors are all so kind, patient, and great with the students. Classes are very engaging and fun, not just for the students but for the parents watching. Our son actually looks forward to going to every class, and his confidence from when he first started 8 months ago has skyrocketed dramatically. He’s learning great lessons and skills that apply not just to martial arts, but in school, home and life.

I can't say enough about the incredible staff at National Martial Arts Academy. The instructors are dedicated, patient, and truly invested in teaching life skills alongside martial arts techniques. They emphasize discipline, respect, perseverance, and confidence in every class, making sure students not only improve physically but mentally and emotionally as well. The personalized attention given to each student is remarkable, and it's evident that the staff genuinely cares about the success and development of every individual. My child has gained so much more than just self-defense skills; they've learned valuable lessons in resilience, focus, and teamwork that will stay with them for life. Highly recommend National Martial Arts Academy to anyone looking for a positive and nurturing environment to grow!

My kiddo has been attending this martial arts academy for a couple years now. She loves coming and says can’t wait to practice with her friends. She is my wild child of the family and pushes her limits but the instructors which are very calm and patient with her. She has her moments like every other child that takes her a minute to learn a new move but they always take the time to teacher her so this way she knows it for the next time.

Warriors Martial Arts is an exceptional program that not only offers outstanding Taekwondo classes but also provides a fantastic range of activities. Coach Kamil is an excellent mentor dedicated to helping students succeed.

We’ve been going here for a few months now. We really like Coach Azim’s and Coach Kamil’s classes. My daughter is one of the youngest ones there and they both been very patient and kind to her. She enjoys going and I can tell she’s learning a lot.

We have been participating in taekwondo classes for 6 weeks now and my son is very enthusiastic and excited. The coaches are very professional and have an excellent treatment towards students and parents

My grandson is so excited about Martial Arts. Coach Kamil is a very professional coach and he teaches all secrets of martial marts. My grandson enjoys being the part of martial arts team. I highly recommend Marts Arts to everyone.

Awesome experience! I’m so glad I found this place. I am confident that my boys will achieve great success here. Very friendly environment, I like that there are children different ages training together so the little ones can learn from the older ones, everyone seems very compassionate about each other. The coaches are very supportive, highly knowledgeable. They perfectly combine discipline and teaching skills with playful friendly activities. Coach Kamil is very attentive to each and every student, I imagine he has a lot going on, but still notices and pays attention to every child and situation. I like that they have extra events every month for the kids to connect more and spend time learning and playing.

Brek, 7 Has been going to Kicks Martial Arts for almost a full year. Over this year, I have seen his confidence grow, his listening skills and ability to focus grow, and he helps around the house more to earn belt ranks. I might take credit for him being a good son, however credit is also due for Kicks Martial Arts. Truly thank you for helping grow and develop my son into the great young man he’s becoming. Highly recommend, excited to put daughter in program next!…. 9/10/2022 (update) another 9 months have flown by however Brek STILL loves his karate! He is now at ninja black belt rank. We could not be happier with the quality of material and consistent ever changing sessions. Kicks cares about each student and molds our youth into young leaders. Their program has been and still is a major positive impact on my sons overall growth and development.

Kicks Martial Arts is led by Master Wagner who is an amazing master instructor regardless of your belt rank. As a student and part-time staff member, I've seen both sides of this studio and highly recommend it to any age, any skill. My kids are both current and former students. I can't say enough good things about Kicks and it has helped my family in many ways.

My daughter was nervous about starting martial Arts. Master Wagner and her team made sure that she was comfortable and motivated. We love all of the instructors here since they push her to be better with a caring attitude. She wants to get her black belt and become an instructor with Master Wagner. Update: she is now a second degree black belt and my other daughter and I are working towards our black belts.

I have been searching for a additional training site for my Pre-K son. Kicks Martial Arts is one of the best martial arts studios that I have visited. I visited at least a dozen dojos and training facilities in the area. Here are the Pros: 1) The student to instructor ratio is fantastic. 2) Price is reasonable. 3) The instructors have excellent classroom control. 4) The class frequency is amazing. 5) The owner is welcoming and have great engagement with her students. 6) From watching the lesson provided to my son, the instructor demonstrated a solid self-defense background. Highly recommend! Update: Kicks Martial Arts is still one of the best martial arts studios I visited. Both my sons are training at this school. My oldest son has been here for three years. Here are the Pros: 1) The school has a organized leadership team that greatly helps in youth mentorship. 2) The owner makes a strong effort to keep the curriculum fresh. 3) The school offers a lot of competition opportunities. Still highly recommend!

Kicks Martial Arts is the great studio to learn martial arts. All instructors are great and patient with the kids and master Wagner is a heart of this place. Kids not only knowing martial arts there but also playing fun games and enjoying movie and game nights.
