    My son so happy to come here. I'm so impressed by GrandMaster Fanelli's dedication, patience and passion that started thinking of going to adult group myself

    Graduation ceremony!!

    My 5 year old has been going this class for past 4 months. And we do see lots of changes and development in our kid with respect to discipline, consistency and following the rules. Grandmaster Fanelli, the coach, has a very focused approach on every student in his class. His enthusiasm and energetic demeanor shows his passion for his profession, which is why children really love and enjoys his class. We also find this class very useful in helping our kid increase his focus and confidence in his personality in day to day life. It helps High energy kids burn out their energy levels, which later helps them calm down and relax by the end of the day. This class is much more than learning self defense techniques. They have grand graduation ceremony every time a student goes a level up. This gives a lot of motivation to continue moving forward. I would highly recommend this class for everyone who wants to have more disciplinary, constructive and fun experience in lives

    Master Fanelli is great! He obviously loves what he does and is very focused on his craft and customers. Reminds me of Jiro... The space is big and super clean. Loved seeing all the pictures of the celebrities that he has been around from his bodyguarding days and there are a lot of them including several A-listers.

    My daughter is very shy. I believed that martial arts would benefit a shy girl in the long run. After searching several martial arts schools in the south bay area, I decided to take Master Fanelli's All-Pro Tae Kwon Do classes. My daughter has been going to the class five days per week to learn sparring, boxing, self-defense, weapons and so on. What makes master Fanelli's class special is his spirit. He has always encouraged students to be the best version of themselves, mentally and physically. He always teaches students to show respect for others, to be self-disciplined. He does put his passion into the classes to help students become better. After two months of work, my daughter has gained more confidence and became a yellow belt. I am happy to choose Master Fanelli's studio for her.

    Wish I had found this place sooner! I have trained ring style muay thai before I came here... and…read morehonestly this is authentic and original as you can get. It's like what a real old school gym is like - no classes... you walk in and warm up and the Kru and Sr. Instructors come up to you and provide you with one on one instruction. Honestly, if your goal focus is to compete then this is NOT the gym for you - not saying there is anything wrong with training to compete - but this gym isn't for that! But if you want to sharpen your ring technique - in addition to going to where ever it is that you train now - then by all means come here and learn this style. But like i said... if your sole purpose for training is to compete, Muay Thai Academy is not the gym that will be out there trying to get to fights. Here we focus more on techniques that are more applicable to real life, self-defense, protection, law enforcement, etc - but with the Muay Thai twist to it. So what I am saying is.... Muay Thai Academy is very welcoming with a team of experienced instructors that you won't find anywhere else. I wanted a place that kept the authenticity and integrity of Muay Thai and I found it here.

    With so many McDojos and ridiculous UFC-wannabe gyms in the South Bay, the Muay Thai Academy truly…read moreis something different. There is a reason people have come from around the globe to seek instruction here -- it's just that unique. While 'Muay Thai' is in the name of the school, it is merely the foundation of the principle art taught here: Close Quarters Combat. Close Quarters Combat is a combination of several martial arts (old style Muay Thai known as Muay Chao Chur, the military style known as Ledrit, as well as Boar Bando and Kalaripayat, a Burmese and Indian Combat Art) and is designed for street applications: law enforcement, VIP Protection, multiple opponent, military, and self defense. They can teach "ring style" as well, but sport/competition is less of a focus here. In addition to hand-to-hand combat, bladed and stick weapons training are also available. Instruction takes place in a free-form, semi-private format. With the exception of a conditioning class here and there, there isn't a structured class setting like you'll find at other gyms. The Academy is open from 5pm to 9:30, M-Th and late Saturday morning/afternoon, and you can go in any time during those hours and train for as long as you'd like or can handle. Instructors and Junior Instructors walk the floor, answer questions, setup drills, and help you work through techniques on an individual basis, then let you try them out on your own or with others. The Instructors are all top notch, have been working together for years, yet still have varied backgrounds and unique methods of teaching. Collectively, the knowledge they can impart is unmatched in any martial arts school in the area. I've trained here for the last several years off and on (my hectic work/travel schedule and frequent basketball-related injuries keep me from going as regularly as I'd like) and can't recommend it enough if you're a self-motivated, hard-working individual looking for unique, personalized martial arts training with street-applicable, self-defense focus from some of the most experienced combat technicians around. It is a real privilege to live in the same vicinity as this school.

    Long review here with much to say as a beginner coming off the couch…read more Heard of this gym through my work company's health partner WellHub but this gym no longer takes WellHub members. Still decided to try their 2 week trial program. Just finished my 2 week adult muay trial program with a Sifu Rey, the 2 week program was $39 and comes with additional benefits (reduced initiation fee & free gloves) IF you sign up for the membership afterwards. Not sure how long this promotion runs. Class sizes vary with smaller afternoon classes (3-5 students) and larger evening classes (10-16 students) Class structure is consistent with warm ups, footwork, heavy bags, drills, and a burn out at the end with shadow boxing incorporated somewhere. I like how coach is also pretty old school and will call me and others out on our BS so you can't let your feelings get hurt and keep working. I had a great workout every class and each class is very fresh with new drills and footwork added onto the previous day's lesson. The focus style of the class is muay mat which is a heavy boxing and low kick style but coach also touches on other styles too. I appreciated the way coach built on what we learned from previous classes into that day's lesson such as adding yesterday's footwork or drills into the next day's combos. After each week I really felt a lot stronger and more confident in the basics. I highly recommend attending as many consecutive classes as you can. I went 5 days/week skipping sparring friday and sunday private lessons. I heard there is sparring on Fridays with the neighboring muay thai gyms (they share the entire complex) which is pretty cool. The other students are also great, some students have been training with coach for years and there were also a handful of new students like me doing the trial. It's great energy and sportsmanship all around. Overall, it's a great learning experience for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. Highly recommended!

    My name is Juan, and finding Gloglo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kickboxing Academy has honestly been…read moreone of the best decisions I've made--not just for myself, but for my family as well. My 20-year-old daughter and I train here together, and that alone says a lot about the kind of environment this academy provides. From day one, we both felt welcomed. The atmosphere is respectful, positive, and motivating. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or experienced--everyone is treated like part of the team. As a father, it means a lot to train in a place where I know my daughter is in a safe, supportive, and empowering environment. Head Instructor Leo is the foundation of everything great about this academy. His knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is incredibly high level, but what stands out most is how he teaches. He has the ability to break down complex techniques into simple, understandable steps, making it easier for both me and my daughter to learn and improve. He emphasizes not just technique, but discipline, respect, and real-life application. You can tell he genuinely cares about every student's growth, both on and off the mats. Coach David brings a powerful energy to every class. He's intense in the best way--pushing you to give your best while still making sure you're learning correctly. His attention to detail is incredible, and he's always there to make adjustments that take your skills to the next level. Training with him keeps you sharp, focused, and constantly improving. Coach Caden is someone who really connects with students, especially when it comes to building confidence. He's patient, approachable, and explains techniques in a way that truly clicks. My daughter, in particular, has benefited from his coaching style--he creates an environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and pushing yourself without pressure. Training here has been an amazing experience for both of us. The classes are structured, challenging, and rewarding. Whether it's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or kickboxing, every session builds not just physical strength, but mental toughness and confidence. What really makes this place special is the community. It's rare to find a gym where people genuinely support each other the way they do here. Everyone is respectful, helpful, and motivated to grow together. It's not just a gym--it's a team, and it feels like a second family. The facility is clean, organized, and professional. Everything runs smoothly, and you can see the pride they take in maintaining a high standard. Being able to train alongside my daughter in such a positive and high-level environment is something I truly value. Gloglo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kickboxing Academy has given us more than just training--it's given us a shared experience, growth, and lasting memories. I highly recommend this academy to anyone, whether you're coming in alone or with family. You won't regret it. -- Juan. D

Fast forward 10 years later, I am 25 lbs overweight (thanks covid!) and not fit. I couldn't even do a single proper push up. I had trouble sleeping at night and my lifestyle has become too sedentary. I know I need to get out of this funk and be healthy again. I tried coming back to my fave yoga studio, started running, and signed up in a nearby gym to work out myself. None has been too successful. I found myself injured and unmotivated. I passed XMA gym on my way home and I couldn't believe that there is a legit Martial arts gym near my house and I didn't know about it! So I emailed Payam (the owner) and introduced myself. I knew of Payam because he was part of the same fight camp as I was before (though I was already "retired" back then). I told Payam that I was so out of shape, I am not sure if I could keep up with his class. He's very kind and told me to check it out so I did. The first week, I was sore with joint paint and aches but for the first time in ages, I felt the familiar rush of endorphins. The class is never boring and I am always looking forward to come to this gym. Payam runs a tight ship and his class is amazing. You don't feel judged coming to this gym. You can be an athlete or you can be starting out, you only compete with the best version of yourself with Payam guiding you along the way. Now after a month, I feel in the right path. I sleep better, the muscle memory is back, and I start feeling on top of the world again. I lost a bit of weight but I know it's a matter of time if I keep it up. The body is just different and definitely not as soft. Even my 7 year old son starts noticing the change and he is so happy for me. In addition to Payam's class, I also come to Muay Thai class with coach Ed. He too is amazing like Payam. He holds pads for his students and teach them good techniques, no shortcut here.
