Love this place, and I am especially grateful for all of the people that make it what it is. The gym is lead by excellent, passionate, and committed coaches and is home to upper belts who really love the sport and who are also some of the kindest and most encouraging people I know. Over the last two years I've been going here, I've had the opportunity to really grow not just as an athlete but as a person. If you're looking for a place where people are really genuinely rooting for you, then look no further, you've found it here at Dark Horse.

The gym is chalked full of wonderful people who truly seek to support you in becoming your best self, and there is nothing that puts life's issues in perspective quite like jiu jitsu does. I cannot say enough good things about the gym and would recommend it to anyone.

I signed my kid up more than a year ago. Neither my kid nor I had much martial arts experience and we’ve both been happy with what we’ve learned. For this review I asked my kid if he’s happy with “wrestling” and he emphatically said yes. Dark Horse spends a lot of time on conversations with the kids about respecting themselves, coming to terms with the difficulty of the sport, and having healthy expectations around what to expect from themselves. I’m glad Arianna spends as much time as she does with kids, I personally have seen the benefits. Doing it right is hard, and they teach that, but not to be hard on oneself because the sport is hard.

I’ve been training at Dark Horse for around 6 months now, and it’s been an amazing and positive experience! No surprise that Dark Horse has so many 5-star reviews. Everyone is positive, welcoming, takes their training seriously and strives to grow, but also keeps it fun. I’ve made some great friends here already and there’s a definite sense of community. The coaches, especially Coach Phill who leads a lot of the beginner classes, makes it welcoming for newbies while also challenging you to improve daily. Facility is clean - has showers and changing rooms. Occasionally parking can be sparse, but you can always find street parking nearby. Lots of classes to choose from daily, no egos - the higher belts are welcoming to lower belts and willing to train with them and help them learn and improve. Can’t recommend it enough! Come by and see for yourself!

One of my favorite things about this gym is the dedication the instructors have. Especially with the women's and kid's programs. It is so important to be able to give the people who attend these classes the education on defense as well as giving a space that is free of judgement. As someone who has a hard time putting themselves out there into social settings, Arianna Gracia makes everyone feel welcome in these classes. The passion and devotion she consistently brings is so palpable. It's refreshing. As well as having a light-hearted personality and being a friendly face that instantly makes you feel at home. I'd highly recommend her women's class to anyone who is wanting to take a leap into new territory without the stress and anxiety many people have joining new gyms. The patience, nurturing, and gentleness she exudes with her kid's class, on top of making it just an all around fun experience for the children, is something any parent would be thrilled to have their child participate in.

Arianna is very helpful and patient with the kids as they learn jiu jitsu and other self defense techniques. I will likely put my kids in this gym in the future and would 10/10 recommend to anyone that’s interested in BJJ.

There's a reason Dark Horse has so many 5-star reviews. Here are 5 things I've noticed while training there: 1) Super friendly and light-hearted atmosphere. People are very welcoming. 2) Fantastic instructors that are true professionals....also great humans. They are pros at explaining complex concepts in ways that are easy to grasp. Thank you Coach Phil and Professor Eric! You guys build great vibes into all of your classes. It makes them fun to attend. 3) Personalized instruction. Coach Phil and Professor Eric are pros at finding specific details that, you specifically, are missing. It makes such a difference at how fast you progress. 4) Safe training environment. The coaches and professors are extremely good at calling out situations/details that can result in injury and watching for them proactively so you can just focus on learning. 5) Organization vibes come from the top down, so it should be no surprise that the other students are funny, humble, supportive, and welcoming as well.

I started training Jiu-jitsu in 2013 at a small club in spain, with some people to this day I still keep in touch with. My Jiu-jitsu journey has taken me all over, including training for several months or years in various other countries and cities. So I've seen a wide spectrum of styles of schools, including the big internationally known Roger gracie academy in london. I can say the tight knit community and level of instruction you will find at dark horse is really something special. the professors and coaches are invested in your growth and on top of this, they offer a safe way to train and have an awesome schedule with early morning classes, mid day and evening classes as well. The positivity at this school is also contagious, everyone is always smiling and really enjoying the journey.

If you're looking for a new gym, just starting out, or are in town for a quick trip, you will choose wisely with DHCC. The professors and students are amazing and you will feel welcome on the first day. This isn't where you go to act like a tough guy, this is where you come to learn, improve your game, get a workout, and make friends. Added bonus, the Denver location is a 5 minute drive from downtown which makes this perfect for those visiting family or here on business. The class format is technique focused as opposed to just rolling so when you come, have your thinking cap on. Of course, there is rolling so you can get your blood pumping after sitting through unyielding conference calls.

I cant recommend this place enough! If your looking at gyms to train at this is a great place with great people, if your looking at gyms considering the start of your journey then I wish you luck in your searching and I hope you step on the mats soon. I walked in on 12/10/15 hoping to get control of my health. I wasn't sure what to expect and I didn't know anything about BJJ but I was welcomed in and have been training now for 7 months. BJJ has taught me that disciplines stack on top of one another and create strong discipline that can change your life. In order for me to get better at this game I had to improve the person I was. I walked in weighing 225lbs and just 7 months later I weigh 170lbs! that's a loss of 55lbs and I feel the difference, I can see the difference and so can my friends and family. I'm not just healthier I'm more confident, more energized, more focused and sure... even happier. With the help of coach Jason and Professor Charles I am in the best shape of my life. They would both say that it was me and not them but the truth is that it was them, the gym, my teammates and of coarse myself. I wrote this review to tell you folks looking at gyms that this place is great but if you don't come here, go somewhere! Start training, keep training and good luck playa!

I am a relatively off-balance person with horrible cardio and a bad back, and after a couple of months, my body is becoming more accepting of the intense "warm-ups" and drills.

Time to get comfortable being uncomfortable! I have been training with the squad at Alchemy Combat Club - Dark Horse Denver for just under a year now and couldn't be happier! I started my Jiu Jitsu journey in NJ under Professor Mike Mrkulic (RIP), and when I moved to Denver in May 2015 I was looking for the right place to continue my training and perhaps explore the world of competition if I got the itch. What drew me in was the coaching staff as well as the facilities - home of Denver Judo and many US Judo Olympic team members! There are classes for all levels from 6 years old to 90years old - Jiu Jitsu is for everyone!. Whether it's your first day on the mats or you are the uber-competitor looking to push yourself to the next level, you will find the right balance training here. The team prides itself on building the foundation both physically and mentally to ensure success. I encourage you to reach out if your curious about Jiu Jitsu, self-defense or just getting in shape. Call Coach Jason and inquire about checking out a class to see if it might be a good fit. Hope to see you on the mats! Oss!

The club has a great vibe--no egos and you are treated like family from the get-go. From a learning perspective, the instructors are both very good. The mats are kept CLEAN, which is huge too. You will lack neither for individual attention if you have a question or for rolling partners. Instructors and other students are great at moderating the intensity with a new whitebelt, so don't be intimidated to try it out. Additionally, love the way they teach. There's lots of positional sparring and drilling is done both cooperatively and non-cooperatively, so you really can focus on learning a particular position or technique, even if it's one you may not end up in a lot if you were just free sparring, for example. I tried BJJ three different times before I joined this club and walked out because the people instructing either didn't want a chick there, didn't clean their mats, or were teaching bullshido. I'd given up on finding a place to train BJJ until I found this club. It's been great so far, so come give it a try.

Alchemy is an excellent place to learn BJJ. I have been doing judo for 26 years and have never been even remotely interested in BJJ until I met Joey Chase and Jason Cox.

I currently roll with both Alchemy and Denver Judo. I had always stayed away from BJJ because I thought it was full of bros. Joey and Jason came to Judo one night and after meeting them, I reconsidered my previous notions. They take the time to explain each piece so that by the time you end class you have a new string of movements put together. It has incredibly enhanced my judo game as well as helped me with stress management in my professional and personal life. If you're thinking of joining a BJJ team, Alchemy is the way to go!
