About Us

Trained with Eric in Denver CO, great coach. patient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. He makes it fun while still being serious. He also knows the difference between sport BJJ and self defense BJJ.

Eric is a great teacher for anyone new to the sport and looking to get their feet wet!

Eric was my first BJJ instructor at Dark Horse BJJ in Denver. He is a big reason why I got into Jiu-Jitsu. He went above and beyond to help me learn not just the techniques, but also went out of his way to help me when I was struggling to stick with it due to time/ money/ life events. He really cared about his students and it showed. As someone who never wrestled or practiced Jiu-Jitsu before, I felt extremely safe rolling with him. I actually tried to roll with him as much as possible because I knew I was safe and he’d let me practice the techniques on him and it always felt 100% controlled and never dangerous. Eric is the absolute best and I can’t recommend him highly enough!!!

As a completely-blind veteran, I have nothing but praise for coach Eric. I contacted him out of the blue after losing my sight with the intention of becoming a BJJ practitioner, and he never batted an eye. He's always gone out of his way to make sure I'm safe and included in classes, and has even been in my corner at Jiu-Jitsu tournaments when I competed against individuals without any disabilities. He's a driven young man committed to the art, and he will go out of his way to make sure that he can share it with you in a way that you can grasp. His energy and passion are contagious, and it creates an incredibly unique community that feels like a family. Give him a call!
