I have nothing but great things to say about Apex. It has been a great experience from day 1. All of the coaches are super knowledgeable and take the take the time to make sure you are learning at your own pace. Walking into a new martial arts gym can be intimidating, not apex though. The moment we stepped foot in the gym everyone was treating us like family and made sure we were comfortable. I am amazed at the progress I have made in such little time, definitely would not have been possible without the great coaches and staff at Apex.

Coaches Brian and Austin were so welcoming with incredible skills and experience. This Academy is training actual fighters and also welcomes first timers and youths. 1st time fighter here!If I had a son or daughter I would also bring them to the youth program, the kids were running and laughing. Thanks guys!

Atmosphere is warm and welcoming for all ages and skill levels. Both myself and my toddler are enrolled in BJJ classes. This is definitely the place to go if you want to get your kids into combat sports. Instructors are competent and patient. Communication is excellent and they go above and beyond to organize club get togethers outside the gym. I’m proud to be a member.

Apex combat academy is a non-intimating welcoming martial art community full of dedicated students and instructors. I admire the Muay Thai instructors ability to coach and energy they put into their classes. For BJJ, Professor Lee is a detailed oriented instructor who cares about guiding you in your BJJ and self defense journey. His military and competition experience with a decade plus working with law enforcement, elite fighters and every day average people like myself, is one of his many strong points. His dedication, knowledge and commitment to his students combined with making BJJ fun, welcoming and practical sets his classes apart. No matter what your background or age is, you will learn a ton from Professor Lee. He is an awesome instructor who wants you to succeed!

Review β„–32

Have trained on and off for about 7 years, mostly by myself. Manly because I had a bad experience at a previous gym. So, when I moved to Denver I was really tedious scouting gyms. Without naming any, checked out every gym within a 30 min radius of my house. Didnt like how they all shoved a pen and contract in your face at the end of the showing. Finally stumbled across apex and experienced something totally new. A feeling of belonging a feeling of strength and a feeling of pride. It just felt right for me. Having the best coaching team in the state and like minded students was icing on the cake for me. 3 months in 20 pounds down im sold. I will train at Apex for as long as Im in Denver. Once I hit my weight goal, I might even take a fight for my team. Love getting up everyday and walking in. Just puts a smile on your face.

An awesome place to start learning martial arts! The coaches are very skilled, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was nervous about starting martial arts, but the folks at Apex were very welcoming and made sure I knew the fundamentals before starting my first official class. Since starting I can safely say that my confidence levels have risen, I have been getting in shape. As soon as a wake up in the morning the only thing I can think of is going to train at Apex. My only regret is not joining this gym sooner!

Excellent place to train. The coaches and instructors are very knowledgeable and have a lot of personal experience in BJJ/Muay Thai/MMA. The environment of the gym is positive, and everyone works hard to constantly improve. The people here genuinely care about and take care of each other, inside and outside of the gym. The gym itself is new and always clean. Couldnt ask for a better place to train, or a better group of people to train with and learn from. Definitely recommend

Great peers and top level coaches here. Atmosphere is welcoming, provides thoughtful martial arts training for all levels, and thankfully doesnt have that tough guy vibe that a lot of MMA gyms have these days. I look forward to seeing the incredible team that runs this gym as much as I can. I highly recommend this gym for adults and kids.

This is the best gym experience I’ve ever had in my life! I walked in my first day feeling a little hesitant since I don’t have very much previous martial arts experience. These guys are so friendly and professional, I automatically felt like I belonged. There is always something to learn, the atmosphere is so positive even on the days I wasn’t feeling 100% I’ve never left the gym feeling anything but empowered and energized. Seriously fantastic group of teachers, I recommend checking it out. Great little hidden gem of Englewood.

This is hands down the best gym in the Denver metro area. Coach Austin has next level striking and is the most instructive coach Ive ever been around. Coach Derek keeps the body fresh with intense stretching, and phenomenal recovery programs. Professor Marco is an absolute wizard on the mat. Best thing about Apex is there is always the most positive attitudes there which makes you want to keep coming back. Oss

I love the entire Apex experience. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and great at explaining techniques in a manner that makes sense to me. Im fairly new to Denver and the family atmosphere at Apex has been awesome for me. Ive been to a lot of martial arts gyms and Apex tops the list. The family atmosphere, combined with the professionalism, knowledge, and passion for helping students of all levels is second to none.

I loved everything about this place. I visited while in Colorado and it was incredible. I was coached on stance so well. I was taught about how to perform kicks and the analogy to things were great. They also have to much respect for the martial arts and their coaches. They even have respect for the new people and people coming on a regular basis. If you plan on training in any mma start here.

I came to Apex with no experience and no idea of what to expect and it’s definitely one of the best things I’ve done for myself! The coaches are so kind and knowledgeable (they know their stuff)! I was never really a gym person and yet here I am going there pretty much everyday. The atmosphere never makes me feel pressured or self conscious and actually gets me more motivated! If you’re looking to try something new, polish your skills, or find friendly people, Apex is the place to be!

This gym is for everyone. No matter what your experience level is or what your purpose for training is (competing/self-defense/fitness/lifestyle/etc.) you will be treated the same and you’ll always learn something new. It feels more like a family than anything else. I spent just as much time hanging out as I did training. Go in ready to work and ready to learn and you won’t be disappointed.

Apex Combat Academy is a premier MMA gym in the Denver metro area with top instructors from BJJ to Muay Thai to striking! They are extremely knowledgeable and help you achieve your goals and then some! Me, being a veteran of the US Army, I feel a similarbrotherhood here as I did in the Army. It is a great community to be a part of! Everyone helps each other out and is so friendly and makes you feel like you are a part of the family! I was a part of some bigger schools in the past and felt like I was just a number. At Apex, I feel like a member of a hard working team! I recommend Apex Combat Academy over any other school in Colorado ! And for the price you can’t get any better for what is offered!

Review β„–71

Always wanted to try martial arts and went to a few places around Denver, however always seemed the places just wanted your money and did not care about teaching and development. Found Apex Combat Academy online and went in for a free one on one Muay Thai session with coach Austin in early April, 2020. It was a great experience and joined as a member. All the coaches are very knowledgeable and are willing to work with you on development, growth, technique and conditioning. Apex has a family feel to it and all the members are friendly and are also willing to help in development. I would highly recommend Apex Combat if you are looking to try Muay Thai or jiu jitsu as a beginner or are looking for a new place to workout.

Review β„–85

Speaking from my experience this is the best mixed martial arts gym in Colorado. It is a friendly and respectful environment with very authentic martial arts lessons and practitioners. Apex combat teaches what I believe to be the three most important disciplines to mixed martial arts in Brazilian jiu jitsu, taught buy black belt rank instructor Marco Almeida, and Muay Thai kickboxing and traditional boxing led buy interstate kickboxer and mma fighter Austin Streicher. Wether you want to compete in the octagon, ring, or on the mats, or if you simply want to have the skills to defend yourself or lead a healthier more active life you should come sign up for class. The monthly membership deal grants you private classes in all 3 disciplines.
