Mountain States International Black Belt Academy - Greeley, Colorado

They have taught my child when to defend himself. Focus. Listening. It has transformed him in many ways. He has made so many friends and a bond with the instructors. He is so excited to go. Granted, he is a typical 5 year old, so not every day is sunshine and rainbows, but it's a great place to try out. 😀

My granddaughter was getting bullied at school and even roughed up by her older sister at home... This place really really teaches the kids how to defend themselves in real situations when they aren't left with options other than getting beat up or degraded. She still is fearful at times but only for a second. The instructors know each student by name and I feel so comfortable sharing her life and struggles with staff. Loyalty and love. Worth every penny spent. Life changer for any child.

First off walking into the establishment you are greeted with the friendliest faces of staff and others who attend. The trainers are absolutely Amazing with the kids as I'm sure they are with all who attend.
My daughter just completed her second month of training with the Academy and I have seen Soo much growth in her. She has more self confidence, she is getting her exercise, making new friends, staying focused. I couldn't get her into any other sport and when we tried here it was a no brainer, this one was for her. We would recommend this to anyone of all ages.
Thank you to all the staff for your wonderful work and dedication in what you teach. Can't wait to see how my daughter continues to grow with all of you.
Much appreciated,
Valarie

This is a beautiful studio and very clean. We came for a special event that was hosted by this studio. Very impressed with changing rooms, clean bathrooms, cubbies and seating for parents. Fresh air came through in a cross breeze which was really great for the participants and everyone watching. The owner really cares for his studio and his students, it’s apparent.

My daughter loves going to classes here! The instructors are wonderful, great with the kids and very knowledgeable! The staff is always so kind and the facilities are very clean! My only wish was that they had a bigger parking lot but that's not something they can fix so I don't hold it against them 🙂

If you're looking for a dojo that awards belts not based on performance or skill but rather on paying for it, this is your dojo. Policy of participation awards does not work with Martial Arts. Wokism was not part of the process when Martial Arts was developed many years ago. Everyone passes regardless of skill.

I received a black belt in Taekwondo 35 years ago based on passing established skills developed many years ago. Tests that if you were not ready you were not asked to test or had to test again. It was not automatic based on a testing date and belt fee. This was true for all ages. That builds character
What this dojo does is give a false sense of security around your abilities.when dealing with potential threats. A purple belt at this dojo means nothing.
Testing fees is a huge profit motive for this Dojo and a huge problem for the student

This is an amazing dojo!!! They focus on character while at the same time teaching some awesome karate skills! If you're looking for a safe place for your kids to learn some great things, this is the place for you!!!!

My daughter loves the toddler playful pandas playground, it’s padded, there are soft climbing blocks, balls of all sizes, fun music and the staff is always so sweet. It’s the best toddler indoor playground in Greeley.
