This school is super incredible! I highly recommend training here. Professors Vanessa and Brian are…read moresome of the most caring and knowledgeable teachers I've ever had. They do a whole week free trial and the kids program always looks like a good time! Coming here from training at several other schools this place stood out for their wonderful community and positive way of coaching. Plus Professor Vanessa leads an absolutely amazing women's team and program - if you're a woman looking to get into BJJ there's no better place to learn the sport than among a whole team of supportive women! Anyone looking to train and uncertain feel free to add me as a friend and message me with any questions.

Putting my son in Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was the one of greatest decisions I've ever…read moremade. He's a ball full of energy, all the time, and I wanted him to get enrolled in an after school activity to siphon some of that off, and make friends. Three years later, I've also enrolled, and now we're learning together. I didn't know much about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) other than it was used in UFC, I've never done a martial art, and I've never been athletic. The best part is that none of that matters, you only need to bring the will to learn and curiosity to try, and the rest will fall into place. BJJ is a unique martial art unlike any other, and we're lucky to have such a high caliber of instruction in Colorado Springs. As a martial art, it's exciting and has great self-defense techniques, as a sport, it's thought-provoking and a fantastic work out, and as a lifestyle, it stirs emotions and inspiration, pushing you to achieve what you never knew you were capable of. Professor Bryan is an extremely humble, knowledgeable, and energetic teacher who I have seen transform the lives of kids and adults for the better. When you enroll, you aren't just getting classes, you are joining a school and a community with coaches and fellow classmates that cares for one another and is invested in everyone's development to reach their maximum potential. I've had more fun as an adult then I've had in years. My son and I have met wonderful people we're glad to call friends. This is a vibrant, diverse school that deserves a special place in the Colorado Springs culture. You can try a week for free, and once you do, you'll wish you signed up sooner.

Top-Notch Jiu-Jitsu Instruction at Prime Academy…read more As a visiting purple belt from Southern California, I've had the chance to train with many excellent instructors over the years. However, my recent experience at Prime Jiu-Jitsu Academy under Professor Marcelo truly ranks among the best. From the moment I stepped onto the mats, I knew I was in a special place. The environment managed to strike the perfect balance - intense enough to push you physically, yet welcoming for practitioners of all levels. Whether you're an Olympic-caliber athlete or an older hobbyist like myself, there's a place for you at Prime. The instruction from Professor Marcelo was simply outstanding. His technical expertise shines through in every detail, and he has a true gift for teaching. As an older student, I appreciated how he emphasized proper technique over pure athleticism. At the same time, Prime offers as real a training environment as you could want. The combination of wrestling, judo, and world-class BJJ practitioners ensures you'll get an authentic, resistive experience. I walked away utterly spent but extremely satisfied with my training sessions. Whether you're just visiting Colorado Springs or fortunate enough to live locally, do yourself a favor and train at Prime Jiu-Jitsu Academy. With great instructors like Professor Marcelo leading the way, you'll be hard-pressed to find better jiu-jitsu instruction anywhere. Easily one of the top academies I've trained at.

I have been a student at warrior now for over a year, primarily Muay Thai and kickboxing (trying to…read moreget my BJJ on with coach Larry as much as I can lol my ground game is weakkkkk). I want to say this place is not for everyone but not in a bad way. Let me explain. At warrior, you will be pushed no matter your skill level. Beginner? They will tailor a workout or technique to you and expect as much from you as one of the Muay Thai fighters or purple belt BJJ guys/gals. The coaches genuinely care about you. Coach Angie, Coach Larry and Coach Noel are the best martial arts teachers I have had and I have trained at a few other gyms. They are experienced (with many professional fights under their own belt) and they are able to pass that knowledge on. But once again, you will be pushed. You will want to quit. Did you just do an hour of high intensity kickboxing? Awesome but guess what? There will be cardio at the end. It is hard because they want you to succeed and Warrior FC and the Warrior Family is not about mediocrity. They want you to be the best. Period. I have made amazing friends here, friends that will drive 2-3 hours to watch you fight, then hangout with you and eat pizza in the middle of the night so you can celebrate your finished weight cut. I would jump in the ring against pretty much anyone if my coaches said "we have a game plan". Maybe I drank the kool aid, but from experience you will not regret coming here. It will show you lots about yourself, you will meet amazing people (from the fighters to more casual goers, everyone is friendly and helpful), and you will get in shape and learn self defense. Give it a try. Trust me. Last brag on credentials- our team went to the Muay Thai tournament in Denver and brought home 8 state champions from 10 fighters. In BJJ, Coach Larry just had multiple winners at the neon belly tournament and Warrior represented at the US nationals with multiple medals (our ground karate is strong hahahah)

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!

Needed a workout fix while I was here. I heard good things about this spot so I had to check it…read moreout. AMBIANCE: Parking: Plenty! It's in a plaza filled with eatery and hobby spots. I didn't find any issues looking for parking. Feels: The area is filled with other eatery and hobby spots so for parents dropping their kids off for their class or looking to eat something, thrift shop, get comics, there are some spots here to hang around. The gym itself is pretty cool. It's pretty clean and spacious. There's a toddler section for kids to play, there's a wall of fame where customers share their accomplishment medals and two workout stations. Their restrooms are clean and they got an ice bath! WORKOUT SESSION: We did the strength and conditioning workout and they put you to work out. I like the pair system and the circuit station. The people were pretty supportive and my entire body got a workout. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Jody and Justin are awesome! Friendly people and supportive of our health goals. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Reasonable price, great workout choices, and good company. I appreciate the overall vibes here. Usually, these spots are intimidating but once knowing them is really fun. Nothing flashy but professional and personable where you're inspired to get healthier. Looking forward to coming back here the next time I'm in the area. TIPS: * Follow them on social media for updates

Amazing. More than a gym…read more I've been training with Justin for two years now privately and have been HUNGRY for him to open his own gym. And I couldn't be happier. He has built something amazing that reflects his enthusiastic, compassionate, and high standards personality. Ive been to dozens of mma/bjj gyms and probably hundreds of traditional gyms in my life and there Is nothing that compares to the warm hearts of the Mercs family and what they have built. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed like family. Not only is this place ran by an amazing couple, but the training is some of THE BEST I've had in 25 years of fitness. There is a wholistic approach and each session has a the proper mix of education and intensity. There is a level of detail in every aspect of training. And while the gym offers group classes, each one has a one on one feel. I can say enough great things about this place. You just have to check it out yourself!

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.

From the owner: Look good, feel good, fight good. With the right gear you can accomplish just that.
