🏅 Mile High Madness Tournament September 26th
Registration is now open for the NMAA’s Mile High Madness Tournament, which will be held September 26th at the Colorado School of Mines’ Steinhauer Fieldhouse.
We encourage all students of all belt levels and ages to compete at tournaments (yes, even white belt Little Dragons) – no previous experience required!

Additional Tournament Information:
If your student is a beginner, we recommend signing up for the Recreational Ring. In this ring, instructors walk students through their form, which removes the memorization component. The Recreational Ring provides a fun, stress-free environment that introduces students to a tournament setting. All students ages 5-6 are automatically classified as Recreational.
The Competitive Ring is designed for students who have their form memorized (1st half of form only). Students compete for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place podium spots.
Students have the option to spar or do self-defense. This selection is made at the time of registration. If you don’t have sparring gear, self-defense is the best choice for you!
If you have any questions or would like clarification on how tournaments work, please feel free to reach out! You can check with your front desk or call us at 303-928-0043.

🛡️ Parent & Guardian Etiquette
As we head into a busy fall season, a friendly reminder of our guidelines for maintaining a focused training environment:
- Please take phone calls and loud conversations outside.
- Please supervise siblings to prevent running in the school.
- Please enter and exit quietly to minimize disruptions during class.
Thank you for your continued support in making Venture the best it can be!
🥊 Sparring Gear Reminder
Level 2 students are required to have sparring gear to rank up. If your child is in Level 2 and has not yet obtained sparring gear, please speak with the front desk to review purchasing options. Gear takes 7–10 days to arrive.
