Testimonials

"Professors Jubera and Dudderar are truly world class competitors and instructors.  They each have their own unique and complementary pedigrees and histories that include intense study with some of the sport's greatest athletes and most renowned and advanced teaching systems.  When Professor Jubera came to Colorado, both his fighting and teaching style completely transformed the way I (and many others) practiced and studied jiu-jitsu.  He has an uncanny ability to intuitively understand the technical aspects and body mechanics of BJJ in a way that is second to none and his superior instructional skills allow him to easily adapt this knowledge to the specific needs of individual students.  Professor Dudderar brings his own unique and amazing skill set to the mat as well; he's truly fun to be around and has a disarming personality and humility that both belies his powerful technical abilities and makes every class a fun and exciting experience for everyone.  Longmont is incredibly lucky to have these two astounding BJJ instructors sharing their incredible skills and experience with us!"

"I have been practicing jiu jitsu for approximately two and a half years.  In the last six months, I started training with Professor Matt Jubera and the only regrets I have, is I did not do it sooner.  Matt is extremely professional and puts emphasis on my individual needs. He takes the time to assess my strengths and weaknesses.  Professor Jubera emphasizes great detail and dedication into the art of jiu jitsu, and is extremely professional.  During the six months that I have been training with Professor Jubera, my skills and confidence in jiu jitsu has grown, and more importantly, my enjoyment of the sport/art has grown exponentially.  I highly recommend anyone (regardless of level) wanting to learn the details of jiu jitsu to spend some time training with Profesor Jubera. I have zero regrets in doing so."

"I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for almost four years. I started working and learning from Professor Dudderar and Professor Jubera about two years ago and my time spent with them has been invaluable. They are two of the most accomplished competitors and practitioners in Colorado, not to mention both are extraordinary teachers, a talent in itself. Longmont is lucky to have them."

"For the past two years, I have realized that jiu-jitsu presents me with constant challenges, nothing like what my background in athletics prepared me for. The many frustrating moments are not only tackled personally, but Professors Dudderar and Jubera have the innate ability as teachers to assist in the ups and downs, giving individual attention to their students, and putting in an incredible amount of care into their classes. As teachers, they have the knowledge, awareness and skills to adjust the classes to those participating, and as a student it is easy to feel their dedication and drive to making their students the best they can be. As a female in the male dominated world of Jiu-Jitsu, it is essential to be able to train where I feel comfortable, with good training partners and the knowledge that I will be taken care of, which is something that the Dark Horse not only provides, but fosters as well. Professors Dudderar and Jubera have the ability to build champions in the environment they have created."

"Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate Prof. Dudderar. When I used to visit your school as a white belt he would always go out of his way to steer my game in a better direction so far above and beyond.  I thought he had been a coach for years. He is one of the most giving, generous, and just badass people I have met since I started. I can't imagine what you had to do to get him as a teacher but it had to be worth it."
