DC Fighters USA

"If you are looking for a BJJ gym with great coaches & awesome gym mates who treat you like family? Then look no further! The people here are great and the coaches make it fun to learn BJJ! I highly recommend DC Fighters USA to people of all ages!"

"My 11 year old son has been doing jujitsu for just under a year at DC fighters. He has excelled learning in this family environment. No kidding coach has 8 kids who all train and help coach the younger kids here. The love for your child by DC fighters is real and it’s obvious. My son has done very well in competition winning medals ( not constellation prizes ) in competition with less experience than the kids he is facing. I give all the credit to a little bit of motivation and to all the training with the coaches. Now as my son has started to need more of a striking training due to bullying coach pulls him aside for private lessons that he doesn’t charge me for. He was just so hurt by hearing my son was having a hard time that he wants to help. It’s not about money it’s a way of life for coach Mike and his family. I am eternally grateful for the help and support , and cannot recommend DC fighters enough. Adult and kids train here ( separately of course ) , and everyone is actual teammates who really care for the progress each team member makes. All I can say to Mike and Rosella is keep up the great work! I know we all appreciate it. Bud."

"Signed up my son for BJJ when he was seven he has been doing for over a year now. Since he started his confidence has grown and am glad the he enjoys it just as much. The Flores family is truly admirable on how dedicated they are to their gym. They offer different types of classes for all ages and levels. If you join and dedicate your time you become family. No other gym we are interested in!!"

"DC Fighters is the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school to train in Colorado Springs. I have trained in four other schools throughout my BJJ journey, and here are the top seven reasons I think DC Fighters is the best. 1. Professors Mike and Alec bring the most up-to-date BJJ technique to the curriculum. They never hold back instruction and will patiently guide students from the fundamentals through the most up-to-date techniques developed in the ever-evolving sport of BJJ. 2. Prof. Mike is a retired Soldier who understands what it’s like to start and stop training due to deployments and PCS. He has a true knack for assessing a person within their journey. 3. Students learn both sport jiu-jitsu, judo, and self-defense. As a student, you have the freedom to develop and focus where your interests lie. I was interested in becoming a coach, and Mike developed a program just for me to make that happen. 4. For those who already practice and are considering DC Fighters, I think it’s fair to say we all hate the ambiguity culture of BJJ and not knowing how we are doing and progressing. Not at DC Fighters, Mike and Alec will tell you exactly where they think you are and what you need to work on to get to the next level in your journey. 5. If you have kids, OMG, this is the place to go! Mike and Alec are fantastic with Kids. Classes are fun and well structured. As kids progress, they have opportunities to compete all the way up to world-level tournaments. Mike is a natural-born coach and leader with many championship kids under his wing. He also provides a safe environment for kids to learn about themselves and test themselves physically and mentally. 6. Training at DC Fighters will allow you to be affiliated with DC Fighters Infight Jiu-Jitsu directly out of Rio, Brazil. Mike is an International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF) certified 1st degree Black Belt and the first American to earn a Black Belt from DC Fighters in Brazil. Training at DC Fighters provided me the legitimacy of certifying my belts with the IBJJF. 7. DC Fighters is a huge family. I think Mike has like ten of his own kids, and they all train there, lol! Seriously, Mike and his family are good, warm, and welcoming people. They do what they do for their family and the love of the sport. I encourage you to drop in and see for yourself. Regardless of whether you’re brand new or have been training for years, I would love to see you on the mat!"

"I first want to say how kind and friendly they are. I have checked out a lot of gyms and these people are by far the most friendly and kind that I've ever met. What they teach comes straight from Brazil, the instructors learn from the best in Brazil. Not only are they great at communicating and breaking down the moves, but they're always willing to help whenever you get lost. They help instill confidence, even when you're like me and you're slow learner and have a long way to go. I've only got almost two months, I'm always tapping out, but it's okay because they are extremely patient with me and how I learn. I also admire and love that their pricing is fair, and they also stand for good things. They are for veterans and all those that serve are great country. La familia, is the essence of this gym. When you join, you become a part of the family, and I can greatly attest to this. These are amazing people and it is a wonderful place to train."
