Inner Circle Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai

“This is a great gym with good instructors, an environment for people to choose if they wanna be competitive or not, and good sparring partners and lessons.”

“Amazing trainers, super friendly and helpful, and always get a good laugh out of everyone. Highly recommend”

“Top notch instructor and team. Very technical instruction and great culture in the gym. Walt taught me when I first started training and he's always growing and evolving in his game. You won't regret.”

“Inner Circle is an amazing gym to train at. I first started training Muay Thai at another gym back in California around 2013. Eventually trained in SD at 10th planet as well and had a good time while receiving instruction from a female ufc fighter so I am familiar with a variety of teaching styles and skill level. After moving to Chicago, I started up training and unfortunately the gym I went to had people who simply weren't skilled to the point where even after a 5 year break no one had the appropriate skill level to teach competent fighters. However, after moving to syracuse, Walter at inner circle has to be one of the best instructors I've come across. He corrects your form and gives specific reasons to why certain things are done so that students are aware of them from an intellectual level. He also has coaches who work under him who embody the same talent for teach and training competent fighters. As an added bonus, his gym at this point is the only gym authorized by an official authority in Thailand to teach Muay Thai as an Arjan and is associated with Master Toddy's gym in Thailand to which yearly trips are taken as a class should students choose to do so in order to increase their skill. My money is well spent at this gym and personally outside of becoming a competent fighter, my mentality has shifted to that of one of a fighter within his own life. I say this because I fully intend to bring my son into the gym to train in his children's muay thai and BJJ classes to cultivate the same. I've also start BJJ classes, and so far it has been very informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend this gym!”

“This is a great place to train. Not only is Professor Walt a great teacher but he's also a nice guy and I think that makes a difference. Great mix of people train here and I dont know where I would be without my BJJ training. This may not be the biggest school in town but I've trained elsewhere ..this is the best. !”
