Caring instructors and 24 hour access to online video practice keeps my kids skills sharp between lessons.
I have been training at this dojo for years and under Sensei Jackson since he took over. Ive also known him as he has come through the ranks before teaching. Weve developed great respect for each other over the years!Personally Im a disabled vet with a myriad of medical issues. 90% of my docs as me to please do something easier on my body. Yet, the other 10% say, to keep doing what Im doing, its working ! Im able to do what not many can do in my condition.Then you have my son, whos been training since the age of 8 and is now 14 and holds the sa.e rank as as of this past weekend ! This dojo has helped me make a fine young man out of him. Im truly a blessed dad.I say all this to say, come join us!David Sechler
Ive been with this organization for 9 years now. Started at the Highlands Ranch East location, but the last 3 years at Greenwood Village. On average, I train 3-4 hours per week. Im over 50 years old, and I am in better shape now than when I was 30. This is an excellent guided exercise program, with an emphasis on flexibility, muscle strength, endurance and conditioning. Plus, of course the added benefit of self-defense.In addition to the physical conditioning, the mental aspects of this training is also very good. Full concentration and engagement is an absolute necessity. Which means that for an entire hour of class, there are no distractions - no phone, no internet, no TV, nothing but intense concentration during training. This I consider as important as the physical conditioning. Especially this year (2020).Finally, as a middle-aged guy, injury prevention is very important to me. By keeping all of my muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons flexible, conditioned and regularly used, there is lower risk of injury in the rest of my life. This includes all the nonsense of regular life, rear-end whiplash injuries, slipping on ice, twisting ankles, falling.Overall, highly recommended. I really enjoy my exercise class and look forward to it at the end of the day (especially Mondays!!).
I have been a part of greenwood village z ultimate for about a month now and I can honestly say the teachers and other students are the kindest people I have every met. The environment promotes healthy personal and group growth with a non-competitive and non-judgemental feeling. Going to class is my favorite part of my week!
Training for the last seven years has kept me healthy, strong, and mobile. It engages focus, and I would recommend this to any adult!
Sign up for a class here! Kristen is an incredible teacher, and I highly recommend her and the studio. Each session was fun, well-organized, well-communicated and effective, even in just 30 minutes. It was my first experience with martial arts (self defense) and I would recommend it for anyone, any age. THANK YOU!
Our 3 yo start taking private sessions in Z-Ultimate Self Defense Studios Greenwood Village couple of months ago and we LOVE every moment he spends there. Besides a joy of watching your child having fun, we already see improvement in his behavior, during the session as well as after. Kristen teaches him many important values, such as respect, focus, listening and discipline. We recommend all of our friends with kids to try Z Ultimate Self Defense Studios Greenwood Village, they are AMAZING!
When I first walked through the doors, I initially picked up on the clean, professional, and welcoming environment (much different than other martial arts studios I have been to). Throughout the two years I’ve trained here, that environment has not only been maintained but exceeded all expectations. Kristen (chief instructor) and her staff are experts in their craft. I’ve gained both a valuable skill set and confidence thanks to their investment in me as a student and I have had plenty of great workouts along the way. This is better than any hand-to-hand combat training I’ve received in the military. I’m currently away for a temporary training assignment but look forward to continueing my martial arts journey with Zultimate Greenwood Village as soon as I return. Kristen’s people skills are impeccable and she can train both children and adults with skill and precision.
My daughter has more self-confidence and feels safer after taking classes with Kristin. She really enjoys learning new things, and talks very positively about the class. Its a great class for youth, as it gives them skills and courage. I highly recommend Z Ultimate and Kristin!
My son loves how they teach respect, discipline and humility. And self defense in case yall have a wild encounter.I agree with my sons statement and the staff is super nice and yet still firm with the kids on the core qualities they support. Definitely recommend this place.
Its been another year with Z-Ultimate (3 now) and each year I feel more amazing than I did before. The most valuable lesson to be learned is, you can accomplish anything if you just dont give up! This school teaches its not about being better than the next guy. Its about being better than you were the day before! Keep striving!
I have only been attending for approximately 2 months. What Ive experience in my short time has been a breath of fresh air. Before moving back to Colorado 13 years ago, I was a student of Tae Kwon Do. I tried several different schools in the Denver area and struggle to find a school that fit my needs. I prefer a school that teaches with compassion and strives to build a relationship between student and instructor as well as among students. Z-Ultimate has quickly proven to be the right place for me. My instructors push me and remind me to slow down as they have gotten to understand who I am as a student. Ive also witnessed how they strive to help students even if it means sitting down and talking through an issue unrelated to marital arts. I highly recommend testing this school out for yourself.
Z Ultimate is great! I have loved learning martial arts here. The Sensei’s are professional and fun. I think practicing karate is a great exercise and discipline for the mind.
This place is great. My 6 year old LOVES it. I have a background in martial arts and the training here is awesome. They have one on one and group classes and our son does both. Id definitely recommend this place to anyone.
I work out on a regular basis, including cardio, weight lifting, and swimming. Martial art at the Z-Ultimate self defense studios is so different from other types of workout. It not only trains our body (i.e. balance, strength, coordination, flexibility) but also our brain (focus and sharpness). It is also a couple or group activity which bond me and my husband. Kristen and her team are very skillful, professional, kind and friendly.
The instructors, Kristen, Jax, and Rae are amazing! My 2 boys love to go to karate. While they are learning karate Z ultimate focuses on making sure they boys are showing respect, discipline, and humility. They really care about the kids!
My son and I have been going here for more than 3 months. Kristen, the Dojo owner, is an amazing instructor, and really good at tailoring group classes so that differing ranks can learn together, and from each other. I have already learned constructive self-defense techniques that I could use, and I love the sparring. The other students are friendly which made me feel comfortable right away.
This is one of the absolute best self defense studios for both kids and adults that I have seen. The focus is not just on developing the form but on the whole person. The head of the dojo also has expertise dealing with students dealing with chronic pain and injuries. Highly recommended.
I am a 55 year old old man that hated the gym. When asked what I wanted from Z Ultimate, I said, I need to work on my flexibility and to sweat..... a lot! 20 lbs later and in the best shape of my life (100 push ups are easy!), I attribute all of it to Z Ultimate! And, the most amazing Sensai Kristen! Thank you so much Sensai!
Much Kuddos to Kristen, Daisy is always looking forward to her private lessons and Kristen always makes it for a fun time. Thank you Z-Ultimate Team
I would like to express how exciting and an endless experience we have here at Z Ultimate dojo. Our son, who is 6 years old, and myself love the studio and all sensei are amazing!!! They give an extraordinary dedication and motivation to the class which helps to continue loving martial arts!!!!
I adore Z - Ultimate Self Defense Studios! I have been working with them for less than a year but I have thoroughly enjoyed every lesson with them. Everyone is extremely supportive and patient, and have a really good sense of humor. Other students at the dojo are friendly, show a lot of respect, especially those of higher rank, and have been nothing but positive with each other as we progress in our development. I could not ask for better senseis than Kristen and Jacks! My favorite move will forever be the chicken-wrist. I would strongly recommend anyone to come to this dojo to learn it and get the bonus of a fantastic experience~!
Z Ultimate has been a game changer for our son! Focus, discipline, respect have developed quickly and all from the tutelage and leadership at Greenwood Village!!!
This is the best studio for great instruction. Very qualified instructors who really know their craft.
A good place to practice let off some steam
My kids love going to Z-Ultimate
