via Google The staff is super friendly, polite, and helpful, always ready to jump into conversation and help with any questions you may have. The instructors are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and are great teachers and coaches, always ready to work with you where you're at. They're also very experienced, as many are or were professional fighters themselves, so you get to learn from a firsthand source. The class schedule is super flexible, too, with classes offered six days a week, beginner and drop-in friendly. It's also always really clean, which I appreciate especially because of the high, dense traffic and how large the mats and cage are - there's plenty of space for everyone.
But the community and environment here are truly the best. I learned so much in just the first lesson, and continue to learn lots with every class not only because of the instructors but because of the other students. They value safety and cooperation above all, emphasizing consideration for not only yourself but others around you to help you not only as a martial artist but as part of their community. The staff also frequently host seasonal community events outside of classes to bring everyone together. They represent excellence of the highest order, operating with respect, integrity, open and honest communication, and a highly enthusiastic and inclusive mindset, welcoming people of all cultures and backgrounds to train and learn together. The sports and community here have helped me mentally and physically so much, I truly don't know where I'd be without them.
Whether you're looking to start or continue your martial arts journey, or are just passing through, you won't find a better place to grow than here.

Mo Riahvia Google I attended an all levels striking and an advanced striking class here while I was visiting from out of town. I was very impressed by the high level of training and the quality of the facility! Huge mat spaces, with a big cage, so everyone has plenty of space to work with multiple classes happening at the same time easily.
The coaches were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, helping even the visitor with fine tuning their technique. Many gyms will not care about visiting people since they won’t represent their gym in competition, but that was not the case here!
I’m so glad I chose High Altitude of all the options I had, and I would love to return next time I’m in Denver.

Matt Wagnervia Google I’m a 50 year old guy that picked up BJJ late and transferred to HAMA after 3 years training. This place is great. So many families, young adults, older adults, teens, kids. There are three classes and privates all happening at once across the different mat spaces, but each class feels small. Everyone looks out for each other, it’s clean and everyone’s always leaning and smiling. It’s a good spot.

Morrison FitCovia Google There are levels to martial arts academies and High Altitude is just on another level. I have trained at a number of schools on the east coast and none offer what they do. Whether you are looking for a kids program, are a middle aged hobbyist like myself, an aspiring professional, or already a pro they got you covered. BJJ or striking, the coaches are not only great martial artists, but great at coaching others. The owner of the gym is a former professional fighter who now trains pro fighters, regularly jumps in to teach the youth classes. I can’t stress to my children enough how rare/special it is to learn from someone with a resume like that. The staff are helpful and polite regardless of what your rank is and that starts at the top. The facility is top notch and always clean. The martial arts community is special and High Altitude showcases all that is great about it. Really can’t say enough, so if you’re on the fence about it, get off of it and go check it out.

m. asejovia Google Decided to give High Altitude a try and I loved it! The staff and coaches are really professional and cordial. I took a beginners class and it was awesome! I learned a lot just from a single session. This establishment made me fall back in love with the sport. I would highly recommend High Altitude Martial Arts if you are considering getting into mma. I give them 10/10 and would definitely come back again!
