Kiley
"I dropped in for a class and had an awesome time. Super welcoming crew with competent and detailed instruction. Fun training rounds with a great mat space. Highly recommend if you are looking for a place to train in Denver."
D M
"Whenever I’m in town. I stop in. Great atmosphere. Great culture. Great coaches. My little nephews Don and Kody train in the kids program and they’ve advanced quickly. The school is clean and friendly. This will always be my out of town Jiu Jitsu spot."
Carlo Tapia
"Dropped by Denver Modern while visiting from out of town. These guys are the real deal. The class was structured well, there was a good mix of blue, purple, and brown belts to roll with, and lots of mat space to grapple. Shout-out to Manny, Rico, and Don for being so welcoming. You’ll learn something, get a great workout, and come out a better martial artist. Highly recommend this spot."
Kaity Donaldson
"My sons (5 and 7) have been going here for almost a year and Skyler and Rico are extremely patient and excellent instructors. My boys have grown and learned so much since they started. I highly recommend this gym."
