CAMA has a strong focus on personal betterment and learning and classes are always interesting, fun and engaging. I started here when I was a small child and now that I'm (several years) finished with college, I still can't imagine training anywhere else. As a woman, I think it's important to know how to defend myself in any situation. CAMA teaches not only self-defense, but also situational awareness in a way that truly prepares their students for whatever they might encounter in real life: anything from that creepy guy at the store who follows you to your car to what to do if you accidentally slip. One of the things that I love about the Seizan Ryu Jujitsu that CAMA teaches is that it doesn't matter how muscular you are--you can always use your opponent's momentum against them. It's incredibly empowering! An added bonus: you won't find any aggressive MMA students here. CAMA is all about respecting each other and ourselves--this is a lady friendly dojo!

After a really awful experience at a place in Denver, I decided to take my kids to this school…read more Now - it's a hike from Denver, but I spoke with the owner who told me to come in and try the school for a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks! And then sign up if our kids like it. Not only that, but he was polite, pleasant, not in a hurry and so, so professional. So the next day, I get a call from the director who handles enrollment asking if I had any additional questions. So I called him back and we chatted for way longer than he probably wanted to - I only say this because I know I'm chatty as hell. So I take the kids to the class and oh my. Night and day from the awful customer service we received the day before from that craptastic Denver school I mentioned earlier. The teachers (sensei) - are awesome - Patient, energetic, and fun. My younger daughter's classes were taught by two women - I love strong female role models for girls and boys! The studio is clean and inviting and the atmosphere is way Mr. Miyagi. I will tell you that the little one was not as excited about this class at first because there was not as much punching and kicking and show pony board breaking as the Denver class (should I be worried?) but I think the message and methods taught at this school - and less punching - is really what we want for our kids at the end of the day. I want my kids to feel confident and learn how to defend themselves - extra aggression is unnecessary. Wax on, wax off. The school does want a commitment of 6 months to a year. We stayed for three years until other after school activities made the drive to littleton too difficult to commit further. I'm sad about that, truthfully. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a professional, low pressure but high quality martial arts training for kids or adults.

We are new to the Strive family. We moved my 6 year old there after training off and on for three…read moreyears at another academy in the area. He's been there two weeks now and I can safely say it's the best decision we could have made for our child. Strive is incredible. There is no gimmick, no up selling, upgrading, paying for belts. It is up front and honest in a way that I didn't know existed in the martial arts world anymore. The kids are happy and having fun but in the most properly structured environment I've ever witnessed. They have clear concise direction and expectations that they happily elevate themselves to meet. It manages to both be fun and controlled at the same time. The owner clearly believes in the kids and encourages them with kindness and strength to be their best. We also love the level of fitness and conditioning involved in their training. I strongly believe strength and fitness is an integral part of martial arts and life. These kids are being taught life skills in conditioning their most valuable asset: their bodies and future health. A kid who trains at Strive will have a distinct advantage in the world. Finally the clarity of training is incomparable. The kids are given clear concise directions that are easy to follow and understand. They learn actively and take the time to learn the names, each step as well as why they do each thing they do. After witnessing 6-8 classes at Strive I can confidently say it is a uniquely impressive school and would be an excellent choice for any child or adult.

We really loved the teachers, they were very accommodating the couple times my child got sick and had to makeup a class and overall very friendly. Another child enrolled and was threatening to bite my child, on top of other alarming behaviors. I spoke with the teacher who said that she agreed that the behavior was not okay and that she was working on pulling the child from the program. 3 weeks passed and nothing changed, so we called to pull from the program. The teacher said she wanted to try to fix it and would call us back, she never did so we called back, again stating we were pulling. Master Silva was cordial and the call was ended. Then, two days later, another teacher from NMAA called me trying to get us to stay. Reiterating what was previously discussed, as well as adding the fact that I could enroll my child in two twice a week activities for the same price as her 30min/week martial arts class, I was then told that I had signed a contract and needed to give proper notice, and that I was liable for the following month, whether my child attended class or not. I asked them to send me the contract and they refused and when I pressed them a little more on this made up contract, they finally left me alone, agreeing that I wouldn't have to pay for the following month. After looking over their one star reviews, I now see that they do this to anyone who wants to leave their program. We planned on returning when my child was a little older but after how they handled themselves, we will never be returning, and want to warn others of their shady business practices and flat out LIES.
