“My experience at Infinite Mixed Martial Arts has given me more tools I can use in my job as a police officer. The one area where I lacked training was on the ground in a combat situation. That is where IMMAA has filled in the gap; Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has given me many different techniques to use to subdue an aggressive subject. As a Police Officer, I need to use control and technique and not brute force. Adam Martinez is an excellent instructor and technician who can break down techniques so that anyone can understand them. The environment at IMMAA is conductive to learning and encouragement is given not only by the instructors but by the fellow students as well. I would recommend anyone of any ability to check out the facility and talk to the students to see why IMMAA is where they need to train.” Bob Rabson, 50 Police Officer

 

“Isaiah has been with Infinite for over a year now. Its been a great year for him, he has learned self discipline, self respect, and gained a lot of confidence. Adam and Kate do more than teach martial arts- they teach them how to respect each other and how to actually be good at the art of martial arts. My son plays a lot of sports and has a lot of friends, but when its time to go to Infinite he is ready a half an hour early and ready to learn every time, 5 days a week! No matter what friend he might be hanging with he will let them know he has to cut it short and go to class! GREAT SCHOOL!!!” - Sarah Bazaldua Mother of Isaiah (7)

 

“In early 2008, I found out I would be fighting in Denver, Colorado a few months later. At first I thought it was just another city, until I looked into it more and understood the major challenge that fighting in a city like Denver presented. In a word: elevation. I had done the bulk of my training at sea level in Boston and then in Hawaii whereas Denver is known as "mile high city". Because there was such a change in the elevation, I thought it best to get out there early and acclimate as best I could.  The first thing I did was call up my good friend Noah Thomas. I had met Noah on The Ultimate Fighter show and we kept on contact. Noah immediately offered up not only his house to stay at, but also his gym Infinite Mixed Martial Arts. Since I first met Noah, he had nothing but great things to say about his gym and his coaches. I decided to go out and train at Infinite Mixed Martial Arts 2 weeks prior to my fight to help adjust.  To begin with, the facility at Infinite is great. There is plenty of mat space for anything you could possibly want to do and even the walls are padded. They also have a full 8 sided cage that is plenty big for doing any type of drilling, live sparring or just going over things. A boxing ring and a number of heavy bags and other boxing training equipment is easily accessible as well.  Adam and Kate Martinez are the owners of the school and have a quite a bit of experience. Adam and Kate are both ranked in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Royce Gracie, of which their school is an affiliate. They have are not only be full of knowledge but also very helpful and friendly.  I really can't speak highly enough about how how helpful and accommodating Adam and Kate were with not only their time but also their school, trainers and members." - Joe Lauzon,   UFC Fighter

 

"Since beginning my training at IMMAA not only am I in better shape, learning martial arts from amazing instructors and legends, but the lessons taught and the dedication exhibited at Infinite have transcended into other areas of my life as... well. I look at situations in work, with friends, and my personal life through a different set of eyes. No matter what your goals are, getting in shape, learning self defense, becoming a fighter, etc... Infinite can help you achieve them. Anyone wanting to be a part of a team, to learn one of many martial arts, to get or stay in shape, and do so in a fun environment that challenges what you thought you were capable of, then IMMAA is the place for you.....come see what you can achieve." -Matt Lovell, 26

 

"My family has attended Infinite for over 3 years. My son began when he was 5 years old and we noticed that he quickly gained confidence, coordination, and discipline. He is now 8 and does jiu jitsu and kids MMA. My daughter is 6 and does ...the kids MMA. I am very confident that because of the foundation of self defense she is learning that she will be a young lady that will not be easily bullied or taken advantage of. As a female myself, I feel much safer knowing that I also have skills of defending myself and family if we were ever placed in such a situation. Not only are we learning valuable skills, it is also a great physical and mental workout. The instructors and coaches are amazing and put time into each and every one of the students! I look forward to everyday of training because of the great friends and training partners that I have made. I owe so much credit to Infinite for the way that they have changed our lives in so many positive ways!" -Wendy Thompson, 35 Mother of Cody (8) and Taryn (6)

 

“Infinite is more than a MMA school it's a family. Walking through the doors of IMMAA is one of the best choices I have made. If you're looking to get into shape, learn how to defend yourself, and be around positive people IMMAA is where it's at.” -Bruce Lunder, 21

 

“There is a reason why Infinite MMA has such an outstanding record every year. Its not like Adam and Kate are out recruiting the best fighters, they accept anyone who is willing to learn and they are masters at motivating people to work hard and they have a ton of knowledge to share. Definitely a remarkable couple with a proven track record who are very skilled themselves.” Ross Vollmer, 24

 

“Before training at Infinite Mixed Martial Arts Academy, our daughter Cailyn was a shy 4 1/2 year old girl that lacked self confidence.  It was always challenging for her to get involved in activities, speak up, and to enjoy being around other kids. Cailyn was in need of something that would inspire her and make her believe in herself.  After searching for ways to make a difference in Cailyn’s life, we decided to give the Little Warriors program a try.  Cailyn is now 6 years old and still in the Little Warriors program.  She wouldn’t have it any other way.  She is always excited to go to class to learn and improve. Thanks to IMMAA Cailyn has become a more self confident, focused, motivated, and outgoing girl. She is always striving to do her best and to be a good example to others. We believe that Cailyn’s experience in the martial arts has instilled responsibility and desire to finish what she starts.  Her dedication to IMMAA has also helped her socially and in school. Our son, Caven started at 4 years old.  Like most 4-year-old boys, he was challenged with focusing on tasks and listening to instructions.  Quite different than his sister, Caven is very outgoing and loves to goof off, at times being disruptive to others. He used to struggle with believing he could accomplish tasks. Caven has been in the Little Warriors for only 5 months now and we have already seen huge improvements.  He now says “I can” instead of “I can’t”. Caven has learned self-control, and he has become a very respectful little boy.              Thanks to Adam and Kate Martinez for all you have done for our kids.  You have a wonderful program that adapts to the needs of kids everywhere.  What a great way to show kids values and still have a BLAST in class.  Our family loves Little Warriors program.  When our 5 month old, Caradin, gets older, you can count on her to join.”  Robb and Corina Konkey Parents of Cailyn (6), and Caven (4)

 

“I started training at Infinite in late February of 2008; I had very little confidence and weighed in at 285 lbs, which even at 6’6 in height, was making my everyday life difficult, not to mention that my self esteem was at an all-time low. After only a month of training 2-3 days a week, my life and attitude started to change, I had already lost around 10lbs and went from an XXL Shirt and waist size 44, to an XL and a size 42. A year and a half later, I have achieved things that I never thought possible, thanks to the guidance of Adam Martinez, the Gracie Family and of course, every assistant coach and every classmate. As of today, I have achieved my blue belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, lost 70 lbs, wear a medium shirt and have shrunk to a waist size of 36. Everyday feels like another new opportunity for me; running, climbing, cycling, things that I never could have done before, due to my weight, are now normal activities and that much more fun and exciting for me. Although I feel that I have a long way to go, I am still in the best shape of my life, both physically and mentally, and I never could have done it without IMMAA. I owe so much to Team Infinite and cannot thank them enough."  James Hunter, 24

 

"It's hard to believe that it has been over five years since our first introduction to Adam and Kate to start training our two younger sons (Bryce and Ryan) and then later our third and oldest son (Nathan). Each of them have faced many challenges along the way. Through the leadership, guidance, and nurturing of Adam and Kate each of them has grown immensely. Our initial goal to start was along two fronts. 1. Self Defense and physical conditioning starting at an early age. 2. Each of them gaining a higher level of self confidence to help them through the difficult school years. They have gained so much more it is hard to put in words. It's not about new belts for these guys. They love to go to class each day. They have allot of fun, but also know when its time to get down to business. They have made many new friends on and off the mats. On the mats they are fierce competitors, always willing to learn more, but it is off the mats that we noticed the real difference. Their self confidence is evident in the way they conduct themselves at home, school, and in public. We are very proud that all three of our sons are straight A students and successful in life. We attribute a great deal of this success to the training that comes from Adam and  Kate. This is why we we continue to support IMMAA, because of the balance of strict discipline, hard work, and also some fun keeps Nathan, Bryce and Ryan charged up to continue training and learning. Nathan has set the goal to attain his Black Belt and continue his training into adulthood. Bryce and Ryan are also now seeing that the hard work will help in other areas of their life. They also speak frequently about achieving Black Belt in the next few years. As parents we have watched our son's train and grow. We felt that it was time for us to also join our sons so that they see we are not just talking the talk, we are walking it also. As for myself, the training has been awesome. My wife and I are very proud to have started our boy's with IMMAA when they were still a fairly small school. It has been very exciting to see the growth and knowing that it will grow even larger in the future. We have looked at other schools in the local area but, IMMAA is the whole package for parents who have the same hopes and desires that we had for our three boys." Chris and Janessa Gallo, Parents of Nathan, Bryce, and Ryan

“In my opinion Infinite is the best martial arts school around! Its true everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The difference between myself and other people with an opinion is I spent about two years actually training at many different local schools before i found Infinite! So i KNOW its the best school by far! I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to find this school!” -Derek Hill, 28

“When I moved to Colorado I took an interest in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. After a year of training at another facility, I felt that I was not being pushed, and not making progress in my newly found addiction, and I decided that it was time to search for a school that strives for professionalism and excellence, that is when I was introduced to Adam Martinez, and Infinite Mixed Martial Arts Academy. Since becoming a student at IMMAA my entire game has improved dramatically. The level of instruction and attention to detail are second to none. As I prepare for an upcoming fight, Adam makes sure that all ends are tied, from conditioning and nutrition, to defensive techniques. It is this attention to detail that gives me an edge over my opponents, and the confidence I need to be successful in the cage. Adam and Kate Martinez run a professional level facility, with the knowledge and experience that produces champions.” Ralston Baker, 23 College Student/ MMA Fighter

“ When I chose to commit to succeeding in the martial arts I had no idea as to what I would benefit from. After only 1 year of a 3 day a week commitment I have learned a great deal from Adam and Kate Martinez.  I find myself wanting to attend every chance I get, and I look forward to learning more. I want to be better physically so I can perform techniques with better control and attempt new maneuvers. I find myself mentally challenged on a regular basis with goals and meeting expectations of not only my teachers but of my colleagues who count on me to be there for practice.  I find myself referring to lessons learned in the dojo for other challenges in life and using them to succeed in my career and with family. I have also learned a great deal more about who I am and what I am capable of. IMMAA is a very rewarding experience.” Brandon Soule, 40

“When I started at Infinite Mixed Martial Arts Academy, little did I know find so much more than self-defense; I found family, security and support. I began by doing kickboxing three days a week, but it did not take long for me to become hooked! Three months after starting kickboxing I added Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to my training. Now I train 5 days a week and I am preparing for kickboxing competitions. In the time that I have been training, I have lost over 40lbs, and gained a ton of confidence. Adam and Kate Martinez are great instructors, and even better people. Joining Infinite Mixed Martial Arts Academy is one of the greatest decision I have ever made. I have learned a lot about martial arts, and even more about myself, and who I want to become.” Heather Conry, 23 College Student

“I am a 32 year old father of four kids. When I first came to Infinite Mixed Martial Arts Academy, I remember meeting Sifu Adam and asking him, "Am I too old for this? Should I even bother at this point?" His reply was simple; "Would you rather be 35 and still wishing you had done this?" That was all I needed to hear, because my answer was an emphatic "NO!" After two years I have lost over 40 pounds, and feel much better about my health. I knew I would not stick to a gym program, and this works so much better for me because I am challenged in a different way every class and by someone different each time. I am also learning important self defense skills to better protect my family and myself. I could not ask for more supportive instructors or classmates, And I feel secure in the knowledge that the skills I learn are taught by an instructor that is world class.”   Daniel J. Bartyzel, 32

 

“IMMAA offers the best mixed martial arts training in the state. Adam and Kate are exceptional instructors and create a friendly learning atmosphere. IMMAA is a great place to train whether you're looking to become a UFC fighter or just get in shape!” Danny Bohnen, 25

 

“Our two children attending Infinite Mixed Martial Arts Academy, one is in the Little Warriors Program, and one is in the youth program. Both kids are very enthusiastic and excited to come to class. During this time both kids attention span and focus has improved greatly. This has been noticed at home as well as at school. We have also noticed improvement with their coordination and balance; we see less of the “typical” kid stumbling and tripping. Our experience at Infinite Mixed Martial Arts Academy has been very positive! Our kids self-confidence has grown as they improve and move up in the ranks.” Dawn and Paul Zakanycz Parents of Joanthan (6) and Christina (9)

 

“When I came into Infinite Mixed Martial Arts I felt very welcomed to be there.  Adam and Kate Martinez have helped me in ways in my life they do not even know, I feel better than I have in a very long time and I plan on training for as long as I can. Remember martial arts is not just about fighting it's about improving ones life and being fit, and at Infinite you get it all MIND, BODY, and SPIRIT.”  Jeff Jollie, 40

“Dear Adam, We wanted to thank you for all of incredible skills you have instilled on our daughter, Alex over the past 4 years. At Alex’s 5th grade conferences, her teacher made the comment that Alex was the most focused, determined & confident young lady she has had the privilege of teaching. She also stated it was obvious that Alex was studying martial arts because of her ability to come in off the play ground and immediately focus on her studies. This teacher literally had tears in her eyes and asked us if there was anything Alex does not excel in. Since being a student of Infinite Mixed Martial Arts, Alex has maintained a 4.0 average in school, excelled in athletics and has received numerous academic and personal achievement awards. Because of the continued defense skills you have taught her over the past 4 years, Alex is confident in her ability to defend herself in any situation. This is the main reason we wanted her in martial arts. We appreciate the fact that you consistently keep reminding our children that there is the possibility that they would have to use their skills to defend themselves from bad people, yet always communicate to them the importance of walking away from a fight if possible. In 4 years, Alex has always wanted to go class. She pushes us not to be late and she has said several times that the DOJO is like her 2nd home. We can’t describe in words how much gratitude we have for everything you have instilled in our daughter. She portrays maturity beyond her 11 years of age in respect, confidence, compassion and determination.  Thank you Adam for sharing your incredible, God given abilities to teach our children with such grace, patience and obvious love for what you do. We are truly blessed to have found you and your dojo.” John & Robin Williams Parents of Alex (11)
