Thanks in advance.

Once a week you should hook up with Dave Ruiz and his team @ the Colorado Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Academy.

Dave's a Brown Belt under Rgan Machado, the Jiu-jitsu instructor to UFC vet Brad Gumm, and a Pan-American 2001 champ.

One bonus that I think there is by training @ our school is that every 10 days or so Dave flies out the California for a few days to train, and that keeps us "up to date" with some of the guys out their.

I highly recommend the defense institute in colorado Springs, John and Eric (Instructors) are some of the nicest (Albeit) roughest mofos you wanna know! They teach Vee Arnis Jitsu on Circle and Fountain avenue. Look em up ya wont regret it.

whatever you do, and i'm sure you won't, don't go to Mile High Karate. there is a terrible chain down there that doesn't even proclaim to teach martial arts, but charecter building, and every single instructor is called a "master." i hate mcdojo's like these...

the other suggestions sound great...

Mike Brewer, posts occasionally on this board, supposedly just opened a school in Colorado Springs. Contact him and see what he has to offer.
