dark haven studio

I was in town again for work and dropped in for a lunchtime gi class. There was a nogi class just beforehand, but I wasn’t in time for that class. This was my second time visiting dark haven and this experience was just as good as the first. Everyone was super welcoming, the facility was clean, and the instruction succinct and effective. Definitely recommend checking out dark haven if you’re interested in starting, or just passing through town!

I'm from the Houston area, here for work. I have a hard time training due to my schedule. These guys at Dark Haven Studio are top-notch. The class is very informative. The instructor will watch and correct any form or techniques to help you understand it better and answer any questions you may have on the information being taught. Layed back atmosphere. All the other regular students invited me in, super friendly. If you're thinking about jumping into a combat sport or wanna start your BJJ journey, this is the place to be in Albuquerque. Highly highly recommend this gym.

This is the best Bjj gym in Abq. Coaches and staff are amazing. The community rocks and I love the grapplers here. The culture of everyone being welcomed no matter your experience is encouraging! The coaches always push you to grow and get better but don’t shame you for lack of experience. Their training is detailed and efficient. The owner is kind and very welcoming. My son started training here and his coaches are top notch too! Do yourself a favor and drop in to try it out.

Dark Haven is a fantastic gym. From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly welcome. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the coaching is top-notch. The instructors provide solid training and create a great learning environment. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a welcoming and professional place to train in Albuquerque.

Coaches Brendon and Jose were so welcoming and helpful with coaching my daughter as we were visiting for NAGA from Oregon. They made her feel welcomed and a part of the team during practice and the tournament, offering great insight that helped her improve in each of her matches. We are so grateful for their support, and the welcoming spirit of Dark Haven. We will definitely be popping back in to this gym when we visit in the future, highly recommend checking them out!
