I’ve trained at a few schools. This one is amazing with great instructors, strong students with higher belts, and an amazing culture.

I had a great experience training here. Friendly atmosphere and very welcoming community from day one. If you're interested in training jiujitsu in the Lakewood/Denver area, or even if you're just passing through, be sure to check out Mile High!

I stopped in for a nogi class today and had a really great time. As a small female, visiting new gyms can be a little intimidating, but the guys here were all great partners and I felt real welcomed.

I've been training at Mile High for about 2 years, and I can confidently say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made for my physical and mental health. The instruction here is top-tier. There are several different instructors that all have their own expertise and emphasize different aspect of jiu-jitsu (self defense, wrestling, competition), but everything is rooted in real experience. The Mile High community is something special. Everyone is respectful, humble, and eager to help each other grow. The gym itself is clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this place, it's the best jiu-jitsu school in Denver.
