    http://coloradospringsbjj.com

    Ive researched them both but what im REALLY looking for is Kyokushin first and foremost and then either a sambo or Muay Thai school. I found alot of info on a guy who used to teach kyokushin but I think he might of closed down and I cant contact him. He wrote alot of books too.His name is Michael Lorden.

    You may have to drive to Denver to find what you're looking for. The web shows a US-IFKK (Kyokushin) dojo in Denver- http://www.contactkicks.com/.

    Also in Denver is the headquarters of Enshin and the home base of Enshin's grandmaster- Joko Ninomiya. http://honbu.enshin.com/

    If you do find a full-contact-style school in Colorado Springs, please let me know because it's possible I might live in that area in the future also.
