Been member here for almost a year, had daughter’s birthday party here…it’s a fantastic gym. Coaches are great at training and catering approaches to different ages-they are friendly and ensure safety for all. We love the engagement opportunities outside of classes too like ninja nights out aka parent nights out, week long summer camp, and the anti-bullying class and that these and bday parties are open to non-members. It builds a great sense of community that is founded in jiu jitsu fundamentals. Remnants of the ninja Halloween night attached.

Our daughter has jui jitsu lessons here and when I say this gym and their staff are phenomenal, it's an understatement to everything they do. From exhibiting great energy, lessons for the kids, welcoming vibes, we're in love with HAMA. Not to mention, if you ever need to hold a birthday party here, you may want to consider their facility!!!

My family has been coming to High Altitude for one year now. Currently we have 2 children and 2 adults enrolled, and appreciate the family discount. What I especially like is the variety of class options and times, and the unlimited nature of the monthly fee. You can come in as many times as you want, and there are both morning and evening classes (for adults), jiu jitsu and striking, gi and no-gi, at beginner (which I am) and increasingly advanced levels. Learning jiu jitsu is difficult by nature, but the instructors are welcoming to beginners and willing to help. The front desk is also helpful and welcoming.
The kids have class options daily, and can come every day, or not. My children have learned so much and made new friends. The instructors are fantastic and clearly enjoy teaching children. There is a sense of enjoyment and kindness without sacrificing order and self-discipline.
High Altitude is competition-focused and advertises opportunities for various tournaments in the metro area, including in-house. My only wish is that they would offer a self-defense-specific class, but that's just not their focus. I would recommend High Altitude for anyone looking to start learning, or advance their current skills.

I visited this gym with my wife and three kids, and I have never felt so disrespected in my life, from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly hostile, unwelcoming, and unsafe for my family. The owner, staff, and several members tolerate an environment of hate and discrimination, making it clear through staring, mocking gestures, and blatantly racist remarks that anyone of Muslim or Middle Eastern background is not welcome there. Instead of a community space for everyone, we were met with prejudice and mean-spirited behavior, which is why I highly recommend staying away and looking elsewhere if you value basic respect and inclusivity.

My family and I have been training here for several years and it's a welcoming atmosphere. The culture here values family and community. The gym is well kept and the ppl are considerate and friendly. The coaches are passionate in their disciplines to help their students progress in their goals.
This gym has so many disciplines with bjj, mma, muay thai, judo. There's not enough days in the week to keep up with the amount of classes offered. The coaches and students are active competitors, world champions, UFC fighters, UFC veterans. If you're curious about trying something hard but very rewarding, I say take a leap of faith and discover a version of yourself that's always been inside of you!

Passing through town dropped in. Nice spot! They are one of the few with morning classes. Fundamentals Class. Good instruction and friendly folks. I liked the structured rolling at the end. Rolls were friendly and chill. I got schooled by a female blue who was surgical and strong and a friendly purple who coached me through whipping my ass. They have a nice mix of striking, mma and Bjj throughout the day. But also pretty traditional on the Bjj side which I appreciate. Also very nice mats which I have gained an appreciation for!

The atmosphere is very welcoming and each coach wants to see you get better and you can come in no matter what skill level you are. Guaranteed you will leave a more confident person and better fighter. If you want to learn to defend yourself this is the place for your

Hands down the best gym I’ve visited in the Denver area. The coaches are top tier. They’re always readily available to answer any questions or concerns you have. They’ll even teach you how to adapt with certain injuries you’re recovering from. The welcoming vibe from the front desk makes everything feel painless. You truly feel like you’re at home in every single class. You never lack a top level training partner. Tons of higher level belts and strikers take the fundamental classes as well. You’re always getting different looks every class, so you always have a chance to improve your game. Cody and Julie run an amazing gym, youth programs, and I always leave class with a smile on my face. Cannot recommend this gym enough; for both new and returning martial artists.

High Altitude Martial Arts (HAMA) is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at. The environment is professional, motivating, and welcoming at the same time. Wether you’re brand new or experienced, they really make sure you’re learning the right way and pushing yourself to improve.
Huge shoutout to the coaches — Jake(both of them), Shae, Velour, Avery, Eric, and Joey. Every one of them brings something different to the table, and you can tell they genuinely care about your progress. They take the time to explain technique, correct mistakes, and actually help you get better instead of just running you through workouts.
The culture here is solid — no ego, just hard work, respect, and people trying to improve. If you’re serious about martial arts, fitness, and becoming better mentally and physically, this is the place to be. Highly recommend HAMA to anyone looking for a real gym with real coaching. #Oss 🥋

The staff is super friendly, polite, and helpful, always ready to jump into conversation and help with any questions you may have. The instructors are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and are great teachers and coaches, always ready to work with you where you're at. They're also very experienced, as many are or were professional fighters themselves, so you get to learn from a firsthand source. The class schedule is super flexible, too, with classes offered six days a week, beginner and drop-in friendly. It's also always really clean, which I appreciate especially because of the high, dense traffic and how large the mats and cage are - there's plenty of space for everyone.
But the community and environment here are truly the best. I learned so much in just the first lesson, and continue to learn lots with every class not only because of the instructors but because of the other students. They value safety and cooperation above all, emphasizing consideration for not only yourself but others around you to help you not only as a martial artist but as part of their community. The staff also frequently host seasonal community events outside of classes to bring everyone together. They represent excellence of the highest order, operating with respect, integrity, open and honest communication, and a highly enthusiastic and inclusive mindset, welcoming people of all cultures and backgrounds to train and learn together. The sports and community here have helped me mentally and physically so much, I truly don't know where I'd be without them.
Whether you're looking to start or continue your martial arts journey, or are just passing through, you won't find a better place to grow than here.

I attended an all levels striking and an advanced striking class here while I was visiting from out of town. I was very impressed by the high level of training and the quality of the facility! Huge mat spaces, with a big cage, so everyone has plenty of space to work with multiple classes happening at the same time easily.
The coaches were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, helping even the visitor with fine tuning their technique. Many gyms will not care about visiting people since they won’t represent their gym in competition, but that was not the case here!
I’m so glad I chose High Altitude of all the options I had, and I would love to return next time I’m in Denver.

I’m a 50 year old guy that picked up BJJ late and transferred to HAMA after 3 years training. This place is great. So many families, young adults, older adults, teens, kids. There are three classes and privates all happening at once across the different mat spaces, but each class feels small. Everyone looks out for each other, it’s clean and everyone’s always leaning and smiling. It’s a good spot.

This is 100% one of the best martial arts gyms in Colorado! Their lead BJJ instructor Avery and new lead striking Gui (from Alpha Male) are absolutely world class.
The owner Cody, who also runs the pro MMA practice is highly experienced and extremely dedicated to success of his fighters. The practices are high level and a ton fun (highlight of my day).
The staff is super warm and friendly and the showers are big and clean 🙂 10/10!

I’ve moved to multiple states looking for a home gym. When I walked in I was welcomed with open arms and I was impressed with how big the classes are. There’s beginner to advanced classes with wonderful teachers so I would recommend this gym to anyone interested in martial arts. If you’re a serious MMA fighter then this is the gym in CO. It’s evident by the fighters that train there. I could go on and on about how much I love this gym. If you want to train this gym is a must try.

This place has changed my family’s life forever. Seven years ago I was at a tough place emotionally, spiritually, and was in constant turmoil trying to navigate my life as a mid thirties male trying to start and raise a family in today’s world. I was provided the outlet and guidance I needed, and continue to need to this day. My family and I have been given so much opportunity by not only the owner and his family, but by everyone we have come into contact with. The skill level at this gym is amazing. I am very happy to be a part of it. There is something here for everyone. It started with me and my two youngest children. Within a couple of years my entire family started training. My life could be very different today had I not walked through the open doors into such a great place with great values, culture, and world class martial arts. I am forever grateful for this place.

Couldn’t ask for more than what HAMA offers. Our whole family trains here. Their kids program is astounding, the kids coaches truly care and are so personable with the kids. The adult classes are also amazing, they’re so inclusive! The coaches and professors are all friendly and eager to teach. Being a female myself, I’ve felt very safe and welcomed here (that’s a huge deal to me).

I was visiting from St. Louis and dropped in at High Altitude Martial Arts while in Denver. From the moment I walked through the doors, the hospitality was incredible. Everyone was welcoming, easy to talk to, and willing to share knowledge. The coaches—no matter their belt level—were not only extremely knowledgeable but genuinely cared about every single person on the mat. I’ll be making this my go-to spot every time I’m in Denver. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier training and an amazing atmosphere!

There are levels to martial arts academies and High Altitude is just on another level. I have trained at a number of schools on the east coast and none offer what they do. Whether you are looking for a kids program, are a middle aged hobbyist like myself, an aspiring professional, or already a pro they got you covered. BJJ or striking, the coaches are not only great martial artists, but great at coaching others. The owner of the gym is a former professional fighter who now trains pro fighters, regularly jumps in to teach the youth classes. I can’t stress to my children enough how rare/special it is to learn from someone with a resume like that. The staff are helpful and polite regardless of what your rank is and that starts at the top. The facility is top notch and always clean. The martial arts community is special and High Altitude showcases all that is great about it. Really can’t say enough, so if you’re on the fence about it, get off of it and go check it out.

They didn’t just supervise the activities—they participated right alongside the kids, which made a huge difference. The kids were able to connect with them, and it created such a fun, welcoming vibe. Even the adults jumped in and played Nerf gun wars, making the party unforgettable for everyone. The facility itself was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a high-energy celebration. Every guest left smiling, and we would 100% do it all over again. Highly recommend!

This establishment made me fall back in love with the sport. I would highly recommend High Altitude Martial Arts if you are considering getting into mma. I give them 10/10 and would definitely come back again!
