The High Altitude Martial Arts School of Striking is a unique, one of a kind striking system created by the infamous Christian Allen. He is well known in the mixed martial arts world amongst other coaches and fighters for his mitt holding and innovative thinking. Christian is a BJJ black belt and has a MMA record of 7-3. Although his fighting days are over, he is still very much involved in MMA. He has taken the art of striking to a whole different level. He has been in Cory Sandhagens corner since day 1 from his first local show to his most recent UFC fight for the Interim Bantamweight title. Christian has been in the corner of Cody Donovan, Duane Ludwig, Neil Magny, and Alistair Overeem. What is equally impressive is you will also find him in the corner of many amateurs as well as up and coming pros in the local circuit around Colorado and Wyoming. Christian is known for building up fighters from the ground up and staying with them the entire ride.
Our Striking program is the perfect balance of Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Western Boxing, and Dutch K1. We take elements from each of the disciplines and have combined them into one curriculum.
We have created a School of Striking ranking system to help students track their progress and evaluate their game. The ranking shirt color system is as follows:
- White
- Yellow
- Orange
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
- Brown
- Black
Everyone that comes to our academy starts off as a white shirt. You may have prior experience in striking but our program is a whole different animal. Don’t worry, if you do have experience, we will have the coaches keep a close eye on you and evaluate you to move you along as they see fit. A big part of ranking up and coming in with prior experience is we would still like to get to know you and have you get to know us. We want to make sure you are committed to the family and will take care of your teammates.
Similar to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, promotions are based on a combination of time, classes attended, and skill. You keep showing up and working hard, we will worry about the promotions. We are here to help you reach your goals.
Our Striking program will satisfy your need for a good cardio kickboxing session that will make you sweat, tone/strengthen muscles and solid technique. The program is designed for beginners who are just wanting to learn, have fun, and work out to more advanced students looking to level up their Striking game for their MMA fights. You will not be disappointed in this program. Contact us today to try a free class!
