Very impressed with the head coach and environment. This is a real martial arts gym that will help you grow if you want to. Kids, adults, teens , whoever - when you come here, you will learn more about yourself than ever before. No doubt saying it’s a Legit non-cultish gym. I signed up day one even with me going to another gym now while paying more for both. So Coach Steven and coach Kathryn, ya’ll deserve way more, I am excited for the future of the gym/community.

I can't say enough GREAT things about this gym! I absolutely LOVE this place! Classes for all experience levels. Experienced and knowledgeable coaches. Great training programs for any level of fitness goals. They have an amazing kids program with a great record of success at local jiu jitsu tournaments. For those looking to make fighting or MMA a career this place has great training partners and athletes from the UFC, Bellator, LFA, PFL, and BKKC training in here on a regular basis. This is one of the BEST places in Northern Colorado to train. At any level.

If you're looking for corporate curriculums and easy nights, look elsewhere. DCO is all about pushing yourself and building the team, taking care of each other in the process. There are several pro MMA, striking, and grappling competitors/coaches here who can help get you started if you've always been interested in martial arts, or to the next level if you feel stagnant where you are. If you want to compete, this is the spot to be. And even if you just want to get a great workout in while having a good time with the team, check it out. There are cardio and fitness classes, plus a full weight room, for those who just want to shake up their fitness environment.
