What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Arthur Suzuki
"I signed up wanting to try Muay Thai, iv never taken any martial arts classes before I was slightly nervous but Kayla and Coach Mo made me feel very comfortable, they were always making sure I was doing good and explained anything that I was unsure about with my form or technique. Also the other people who train there are all super friendly. I was hesitant of going to a martial arts gyms cus others iv walked into seemed intimidating but they very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend checking this place out if you’re interested and never done any Muay Thai, it’s become my favorite part of my day training there!"
HypeSolute
"I’ve had an amazing experience at this gym! Coach Mo is incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. He makes every workout challenging yet enjoyable, and he genuinely cares about helping you reach your goals. The gym itself has a great environment it feels like a second home. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll feel supported and motivated, this is it!"
D Betancourt

David Scherf
"It was a great experience!!! Tom Santos and Kayla coached us and it was a blast! A great workout and I’m excited to be able to defend myself better! Looking forward to future classes!!!"
