I've purchased gear and trained with Black Sheep and I can't say enough good things about this…read morebusiness. As far as gear goes, I'm an astrophile, so I loved the galaxy look of everything right away and was ecstatic to find that not only did it look good, but performed even better. The gloves I purchased are some of the most comfortable and durable that I own, and I cannot WAIT to grab rash guards and spats! As for training, I came to Alex and Jess from a traditional Okinawan karate background and found that they were able to identify some of the habits of the style right away. This helped me to understand how to quickly translate the knowledge I already had to pick up more of the boxing, MMA, and Muay Thai techniques that they specialize in. I think what I appreciate most is how they approach training for newbies and kids. My teenager had almost no prior training background, is introverted, and is not very physical by nature, by the end of a pretty intense session she was asking about getting her own gear! Truly a place where you will be treated like family and pushed to be your best, no matter if you're looking for fitness, pro coaching, or self-defense.

I was introduced to this gym through my best friend and her kids. Our old gym was way too far and…read morethis was the closest gym to us. My keikis have been going here for over a year now and they love it! We went for BJJ and they are now doing Muay Thai as well and loved it!!! They have good membership options and are very military-friendly. They also let you try it for a week before you decide if you want to do it or not. I guarantee that you will commit after the week! They are very welcoming and the coaches are amazing! My kids have done competitions and want to sign up for more. They also have a fundamental BJJ class on Saturday for both adults and kids. A great way for the kiddos to learn in a different environment. Try them out and make them your new gym Ohana! You won't be disappointed!

Cassie was very kind!…read more Both me and my boyfriend signed up for the free week and had planned on joining until he had a class with Vinnie. BF was looking to improve BJJ and asked questions which were apparently too many at which point Vinnie became rude. His attitude was unprofessional and I was hesitant to do any classes because of him alone. The next class bf attended was with Vinnie who began to speak about masturbation which completely disgusted him. That was his last class!

My daughter is pretty tall so she was too big for the kids class. She has been training with the adult class for a few months now. I love how everyone is so kind!!! My daughter is very shy and gets in her heads a lot (she over thinks.) Coach Mike, Ross, and so many more have worked with her and helped her immensely! Seeing her at Chaos working with everyone feels my heart with such pride and joy. It's given her a lot of confidence and although my daughter is still pretty shy... I cannot wait to see where she goes with Chaos! If you are thinking about a place for your teen I 100% reccomend Coach Mike and his outstanding fighters.

Update after the owner response: I initially gave a 2 star review because of my own experiences. Me…read moreasking about the fight team when I first joined two years prior is just a petty comment and has nothing to do with my critiques in the gym or my situation. I stand by everything I said. The lineage is in bJJ and wrestling and that is where cies shines. I am a white belt, but I've trained kickbixing with UFC strikers Pete Spratt and muay thai coach Kru Phet Phongsavane for more than 5 years as a casual non-professional athlete. I've also done multiple seminars with Duane Ludwig. I am allowed to have an opinion on striking and just because I've trained with people with good names doesn't mean I'm proficient. The gym itself is really nice. Weights, bags, a wall/fence, a changing room, and showers. The Bjj is also very good. I did sign up primarily for the kickboxing classes which were okay. There is a pretty basic push-pull system of striking. Left-right-left-right. The overall level of striking is pretty low. I'd suggest doing a trial class- you only get one though. You'll notice that they won't give you much feedback on form or application. Nothing on positioning, angles, or distance. You can judge for yourself by watching how the techniques are modeled for the class. Full transparency I did not attend regularly due to the nature of my work in a residential facility. This year I had a number of hardships to include becoming a full-time caregiver of my father, having my employment terminated due to cutbacks the day after closing on my home, having my dog attacked without pet insurace. I was the sole provider while my wife was in school. I offered the buisness owners any level of proof with documentation. I requested to have my account put on hold for payments after some level of financial stress in May. I requested 3 months of suspension. This was denied. Then when my father's health declined and my position was cut I requested to be released from my contract due to financial hardship. This was also denied. The contract does leave it to the owners discretion to terminate the relationship. But it was cited " its a tough time for everyone." On the rare occasion I did attend I believe I was always a good and selfless training partner for the fight team and for new members alike. I was never a trouble maker. I have 4 more months of payment before the contract is up. At some point I will go to the gym and hit the bags but I refuse to attend the classes. I won't have loyalty to a gym that won't consider people, circumstance, and hardship. I'll look elsewhere if I am ever able to attend combat sports classes regularly again.

DC Fighters is the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school to train in Colorado Springs. I have trained in…read morefour other schools throughout my BJJ journey, and here are the top seven reasons I think DC Fighters is the best. 1. Professors Mike and Alec bring the most up-to-date BJJ technique to the curriculum. They never hold back instruction and will patiently guide students from the fundamentals through the most up-to-date techniques developed in the ever-evolving sport of BJJ. 2. Prof. Mike is a retired Soldier who understands what it's like to start and stop training due to deployments and PCS. He has a true knack for assessing a person within their journey. 3. Students learn both sport jiu-jitsu, judo, and self-defense. As a student, you have the freedom to develop and focus where your interests lie. I was interested in becoming a coach, and Mike developed a program just for me to make that happen. 4. For those who already practice and are considering DC Fighters, I think it's fair to say we all hate the ambiguity culture of BJJ and not knowing how we are doing and progressing. Not at DC Fighters, Mike and Alec will tell you exactly where they think you are and what you need to work on to get to the next level in your journey. 5. If you have kids, OMG, this is the place to go! Mike and Alec are fantastic with Kids. Classes are fun and well structured. As kids progress, they have opportunities to compete all the way up to world-level tournaments. Mike is a natural-born coach and leader with many championship kids under his wing. He also provides a safe environment for kids to learn about themselves and test themselves physically and mentally. 6. Training at DC Fighters will allow you to be affiliated with DC Fighters Infight Jiu-Jitsu directly out of Rio, Brazil. Mike is an International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) certified 1st degree Black Belt and the first American to earn a Black Belt from DC Fighters in Brazil. Training at DC Fighters provided me the legitimacy of certifying my belts with the IBJJF. 7. DC Fighters is a huge family. I think Mike has like ten of his own kids, and they all train there, lol! Seriously, Mike and his family are good, warm, and welcoming people. They do what they do for their family and the love of the sport. I encourage you to drop in and see for yourself. Regardless of whether you're brand new or have been training for years, I would love to see you on the mat!

But my 11 year old has been in their program under a year and after multiple competition wins in jujitsu is graduating to some Muay Thai training directly from coach. They are great with kids but also the adult classes are amazing. My older son went to another gym and didn't last a year. He got lost in the very high numbers and coaches had a hard time remembering his 3 letter name. This isn't the case here. Coaches know my son and love him and are biting their nails when he competes , and are so proud when he does well. That love and caring that I see from coaches , and teammates is gonna keep my son here for good. Located in the chapel hills mall it's a great location you can get some exercise walking the mall if you want or even use the Matt's if you like. Give it a try DC fighters. You won't regret it! Bud.
