One of the hardest things to find when it comes to find a good fighting gym is a place that has the…read moreright culture and vibe for everyone. A place that isn't toxic, that has respectful regulars who aren't territorial, a place where people offer their hand and give their name first before asking for yours. You'd be surprised at how openly hostile, rude, tribal, clique-y, and toxic a fighting gym can be. (Or maybe you aren't) Regardless, the rare places that aren't like that, you gotta hold onto. Not to mention, you have to have a coach who took the time, paid "the dues", and is passionate about the art. The DEN, I can assure is one of those places. If you're curious about the art of 8 limbs, or if you're somebody who wants to fully get into it. Stop by the Den! 10/10 would recommend. On a side note.....Coach James is one of the great "what-ifs" of the sport. In my mind, he could have been an incredible professional fighter. But, in his own words, "I never liked the spot light and I don't like getting too much attention." But "I just love Muay Thai, and I'm getting to do what I love." But don't let the sentiment fool you. He's an absolute beast in the ring, and guys nearly 20 years his junior have a hard time keeping up with him when they spar. The gym also is quite "Spartan", no frills, no expensive machines, one punching bag, a few weights, a bathroom, an equipment room, a mat area, and a ring. That's about it. Everyone gets nice a close on a busy day, but for me, that's kind of the charm of the place. No crazy amenities, just a temple dedicated to the striking art. The regulars, including the guys who have been coming for years, are remarkably laid-back individuals. No real chip on anyone's shoulders, no one is trying to prove anything, just a bunch of real enthusiasts of the art. Case in point, I'm surprised to find that after a few weeks, a bunch of them even remembered my name, gave me a fist bump, and welcomed me back. But again, don't let the sentiment fool you, if you punch hard, they'll punch back harder, and if you think you keep up with them, they'll take you to depths you haven't been before. There are levels to this game, and there a people there who are going to be 2-3 levels above you. My advice, be friendly, be consistent, be respectful, and stay humble.

He provides a rigorous curriculum that truly tests you physically and mentally. His original Thailand style of training will challenge you like no other workout.

He truly cares about his students and is passionate about guiding us toward reaching our best selves. He is strict, that is for sure, but he gives the tough love that helps you grow.

I can't say enough good things about Heart and Pride Muay Thai. Joining this gym has been one of…read morethe best decisions I've ever made. I came from a background where I was never active. I never played sports because I didn't think I'd be good at any of them, and I never enjoyed working out. I originally joined because I simply wanted to be more active and find something fun to do. I never imagined I would completely fall in love with Muay Thai. Over the past year and a half, this gym has given me so much more than just a workout. I've made amazing friends, gained confidence, and found a community that genuinely feels like family. Everyone here is welcoming, respectful, and supportive, no matter your experience level. The Krus are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. They truly care about helping every student improve while creating a positive environment where everyone can succeed. A year and a half later, Heart and Pride has become my second home. It's a place I look forward to coming to every week, and I honestly can't imagine my life without it. If you're thinking about trying Muay Thai--even if you've never been athletic or played sports before--don't hesitate. This gym has completely changed my life, and I'm so grateful to be part of the Heart and Pride family.

The two coaches, Ryan Castillo and Bruce Chacon, welcome anyone from "I've never trained a day in my life" to "I'm an experienced professional" and give everyone the same amount of respect, attention to technique and motivation. Workouts are designed to be high intensity and consist of high volume with a combination of body weight and kettle bell oriented workouts but you're welcomed to train at your own pace! Even if you're looking to get an intense cardiovascular workout or learn how to defend yourself, you'll be gaining invaluable knowledge from experienced professionals and you'll develop a greater self-confidence and respect from your peers! The idea of joining a "martial arts gym" can be intimidating, but I promise once you give this gym a try, you'll be inviting everyone you know to be a part of the family too!
