I love this gym.For the first class I had such a great time. Was even laughing with my partner. Eric (the manager, coach) is a great instructor. Very knowledgeable and does a great job explaining things so that you understand and does this gently. All of the people I have had the pleasure of training with are all friendly and theyre super sweet to my son. I had been on the hunt for a good gym and I truly think I found where I belong. Honored to be welcomed into this community and family. Cant wait for my next session

I’ve been with Dark Horse for a few months now and am incredibly happy I chose to train with them. All the instructors are top notch and everyone I’ve trained with is awesome. The gym values things like respect, technique, and discipline, all while keeping things light-hearted and fun. Going to Dark Horse is my favorite way to decompress after work. I’ve had a great time here and you will too!

Awesome spot! Charles, the head coach of the class was detailed and encouraged questions. I’m from out of town the whole team made me feel very welcome. I’m definitely rolling up again soon. Extra perk - the bath room has mouth wash 👌🏽

I would give this school 6* if I could.Amazing school, amazing teachers and overall the people are very helpful. I felt instantly part of the team even as a total beginner.Have been coming regularly for the past 6 months and very glad I chose this school. Special thanks to Professors Andrew and Charles and of course to the Coaches Eric and Cobra

Stopped in for the advanced class while on business and was instantly made welcome -- everyone was great to train with!Space: They recently got a new space and its great - clean, well-maintained, with individual(!!) changing rooms and a shower.Instruction: Incredible - the organization of the different techniques taught made it easy to understand and open the mind to different options and concepts. Also since it was a smaller class size, professor was able to come around multiple times to give details.All in all, fantastic place!

This was my first time rolling EVER, and everyone was very respectful, polite, and supportive. I will defitnetly be back for an open mat day. Thank you to professor Charles, Noodles for the information, and hospitality. I’ll be back soon. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

Cannot recommend Dark Horse enough! Amazing instructors, the best training partners/friends, and a great location. No matter where you are in your BJJ journey, if you are in Denver, look no further than Dark Horse Combat Club.

Maybe it’s just the Colorado way (I moved here from Chicago recently), but from day one the staff and team has been unbelievably friendly and inviting. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in learning BJJ.

Eric was amazing he took the time to educate me on BJJ. Highly recommended.

I was staying with friends in Denver for a couple of weeks and signed up for this gym. I loved the gym so much, I ended up extending my stay for a month. It has truly become home away from home , with the amazing atmosphere, and phenomenal team of instructors and students who have instantly accepted me to their BJJ family. 10 out of 10 for cleanliness of the gym, professionalism of the instructors and great overall spirit.

Love this gym! I have been training here for 6 months and since the moment I walked in, I have felt like part of the fam. The community is super welcoming and the coaches/professors are all very helpful and eager to help you achieve your personal goals. With a judgement free zone and friendly faces, Dark Horse is a great place to learn any level of jiujitsu. 🥋🤙🏼😊

If youre 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 isnt 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 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 Ive 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. Im proud to train here and would recommend it to anyone interested in trying for the first time, experienced bjj players, or even people just passing through

I travel a lot for work and am picky about my jiu jitsu gyms and Dark Horse was amazing! Really an awesome gym with a great group of people and a wonderful instructor. He was super kind in giving me attention and direction even though I was just passing through! The students there were super friendly. No machismo and injuries. Very friendly and humble. I highly recommend for locals or people passing through.

Outstanding coaching with a real team atmosphere - the new facility is clean with plenty of space to train. Safety is emphasized first and foremost, but the classes are still highly rigorous. They allowed me to freeze my membership while dealing with an injury, while some gyms would try to continue charging.

Great instruction and an awesome community of friendly and dedicated training partners!

I started coming here a couple months ago as a complete beginner and now Im hooked! I couldnt be happier about the decision to start my training at Dark Horse. Great downtown location, a knowledgable group of instructors to learn from, and awesome people to train with. Id recommend Dark Horse to anyone interested inn BJJ no matter their experience level.

Great place to train! I love the new facility. All the students and professors are very knowledgable and welcoming. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this gym to anyone wanting to learn or train Jujitsu.

I am so grateful to have this gym in my life. I came in very nervous and tentative, but since that first day, I’ve been treated with utmost respect and support. The coaching staff truly cares about your development, your goals, and overall health. I’m in my late 30s and every gym membership just didn’t last, but this one did. I’ve lost weight, I’m starting to feel the potential of what my body can do, I’ve gained more confidence in myself, and I’m getting to know great people. It’s an honor to be a part of this gym. I can’t recommend Dark Horse enough.

Best place. Training here gets one very vulnerable to learn the art truly but to also find a confidence that really radiates positivity and discipline. Had a short experience here due a severe health barrier but instantly knew this was the place for me. Ill return here soon. Instructors are great and the other people learning are great to work with. Recommend it to anyone.

Outstanding instructors, welcoming atmosphere, and plenty of opportunities scheduled throughout the day for training.

I’ve been training here for a few months and absolutely love it. Everyone at the gym is super friendly and respectful, which makes the jiu jitsu much more approachable and fun.I’d highly recommend anyone to this gym whether you’re a seasoned grappling veteran or brand new to the sport.

Ive been going here for about a month now. I absolutely love it. The coaches are great and there are just enough people in the class to make you still feel like you get that one on one attention. Everyone there is very knowledgeable, respectfully,kind,and helpful. It beats the price of any other gym in town as well.

Super welcoming. Great instruction. Clean mats. Awesome culture. Stop in for a class.

Dark Horse is a great place to learn and train BJJ. The new location is great, the instructors have always been awesome, and the people who train here are very friendly.

Very helpful and awesome morning classes. Great location and great training.

Awesome folks, great environment, excellent schedule. Overall amazing place

I am just getting into BJJ and am having a very positive and enjoyable experience at Alchemy Combat Club. The instructors Joey Chase and Jason Cox are great teachers and all of the students are extremely helpful to me as a new student. Everyone has a positive attitude and is making me feel included and supported as I enter into this amazing sport.

Best place Ive ever trained. I think of everyone there like an extended family. If youre looking for a friendly environment with great instructors, this is the place.

Alchemy BJJ is a great martial arts club to be a part of. Coach Jason and Coach Joey are great instructors that are focused on making sure their students implement proper form and techniques during every class. On top of that, the crew that you train with are a great group of people. They are all there to help improve your skills all while having a great time!If you are looking to give BJJ a try, I would highly recommend Alchemy. They cater to all skill levels, and the entire group made me feel right at home from day 1.

Im completely new to martial arts, and this club is outstanding- both Jason and Joey are excellent instructors and Ive really enjoyed their teaching style, patience, and dedication. I highly recommend Alchemy!

Great spot, helpful instructors and friendly crowd

High level and thoroughly detailed instruction with an exceptional emphasis on safety. A great place to train with an awesome family atmosphere.

A comfortable place full of great people.

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 youre thinking of joining a BJJ team, Alchemy is the way to go!

Love it here! Very positive environment. I would recommend it to anyone!

This is a fantastic gym to train BJJ and Muay Thai. The coaches are extraordinarily invested in the students and teach with patience and care. The facility is clean and well-maintained with plenty of space to drill.

Jiu Jitsu is something I have wanted to take on but never found the motivation to make it to any formal classes. My friend brought me along to a beginner class a month ago and I instantly got hooked. Besides it being an easy location for me to sneak out on a lunch break for a class, there is great instruction, and friendly people. Highly recommend checking out Alchemy MA.

The people here have become like family. I have been training on a weekly basis at Dark Horse for about 9 months and have found a lot of benefit in BJJ both physically and mentally. Give it a shot and find out for yourself.

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 wasnt sure what to expect and I didnt 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! thats a loss of 55lbs and I feel the difference, I can see the difference and so can my friends and family. Im not just healthier Im 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 dont come here, go somewhere! Start training, keep training and good luck playa!

Alchemy rocks. Joey Chase and Jason Cox are excellent instructors and we love having them at Denver Judo. if you are at all interested in trying out BJJ, this is a great place to go!

Alchemy Combat Club is an awesome dojo. They do a good job of covering the self defense and competitive sport aspects of BJJ. Every single person has been welcoming and extremely helpful from day one. There are no egos and nobody is trying to smash anyone. Everyone is learning and teaching in a way. 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. The layout of the gym is awesome, too.

Really great vibes in this place! Awesome Jiu Jitsu instruction! Joey has an extremely deep and technical understanding of the art, and genuinely cares about the success of his students.Very reasonably priced in the world of BJJ, and up front about pricing. Love it!

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 dont be intimidated to try it out. Additionally, love the way they teach. Theres 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 its 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 didnt want a chick there, didnt clean their mats, or were teaching bullshido. Id given up on finding a place to train BJJ until I found this club. Its been great so far, so come give it a try.

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 couldnt 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 its 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!

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. They started a BJJ class at Denver Judo where I coach and my entire family started training with them. Joey and Jason are excellent instructors and I am truly enjoying their classes. If you want to learn BJJ Alchemy is the place to be!

Great instructors, great training partners, and great atmosphere all around!

This place is cool

Cant say enough good things about Alchemys instructors, teaching methods, hours, etc... It is all good!

I was warmly greeted and made to feel at home.This place has serious top level bjj instruction.The mats are clean and pricing is super reasonable.The blackbelt running things made sure I had a good time and when I’m back in town I will definitely be coming back.Finding some parking was the only thing I had an issue with but I can’t really fault the gym for that.All in all 10/10.
