Things get done at this gym. All the equipments are new and the space is kept very clean all the time. Scrubbing down the mats, disinfecting the equipments, and after each class too. Things that you would never notice if they didn't do it, but they do it anyways. Good and active competition team as well. read more

I had received promotional material twice from this place within the span of a week, so I took it as a sign that I should give it a try. I had been itching for a while to learn a new fighting style as well. First, I have to mention that the place is kind of tucked away in the back of a complex. I wish it was more visible from the street, as I probably would've come in sooner. The facility is a good size, and a lot cleaner and more orderly than I've seen at other martial arts gyms. There's plenty of space in the back to store any belongings, and the area for parents and spectators is positioned strategically in the corner as well, so there isn't too much congestion at the front where people have to check in. There's a small mat for beginners and a much bigger mat for the more experienced fighters. There's also a fighting ring for the fight team. The coaches were very welcoming on my first day, and Coach Ash, the owner, even took note that I had previous experience in another style. He used that knowledge to personalize my learning track, which I appreciate a lot. I had come in with several people from my work, and in seeing that we were a group, he even customized a pricing structure to incentivize us to all sign up together. While I know that isn't at all what he is obligated to do as a business owner, it's refreshing to know that someone will try to meet you somewhere in between versus just waiting for you to come to them. In the teen and adult class, so far it feels like it leans more on the teen side (I'm 34), but I hope that will push me to keep up. I've already signed up for a year (great deal per class, and they work with you in case you can't make some classes) and have gotten bruises on my leg. Looking forward to more! read more

My daughter had her very first class at Blue Lion Muay Thai, and the experience was amazing. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and made her feel comfortable from the moment we walked in. The coaches were patient, encouraging, and created a great environment for someone just starting out. The facility was clean, organized, and clearly well cared for. It also has a strong community feel, with everyone supporting and encouraging each other. And their merch is badass. read more

I am replying to the businesses response. Not once did I get notified of his expiration on the membership until the actual day. Another fact is that I texted the owner after he was insisting through message after message that I renew his membership, once I stated my concern through message, I received no response and was left on read. I have the proof and messages to show. I didn't decline the offer until I received no reply from the owner and was left in the blind. The reason for check ins was to keep track of attendance. The person in charge of this should have been on top of their duties and responsibilities. It is a total neglect for the business not to do so. If I go back to my records I will be able to show that his membership wasn't " Months" as you stated, finished with. It's fine if you want to lie on the reviews to make your business seem professional. But that's not the case. Once again I stand firm on my review and concerns. Thank you. Hope this helps other families to think twice before signing their children up to your establishment. Money well waisted and taken from hard working parents, to not deliver the full membership contract agreement. read more

I just wanted to give a shoutout to all the hardworking the Blue Lion Group Family has been up to. Coach David and Coach Ryan are both young men who love the sport and giving back to it. They're always teaching the future of the sport with the Little Lions Class. Both coaches never skip a day and give the kids the best possible education while emphasizing technique and respect for all. Coach Ash and Coach Brandon whose hard work behind the scenes made this dream come true. And last but not least coach Chris. Coach Chris is the backbone of the family. He makes sure that everyone feels welcome when they walk into the door. He comes in early and stays late so that the community can have a safe place to learn the art of Muay Thai. This is a great place to try if you're thinking about getting yourself or your family into extracurriculars. https://www.bluelionmuaythai.com/proshop read more

My son(10) and I have been going to this gym for almost 3 years. Ash and staff have always been really great. They are supportive but strive to push you to the next level. Great fitness classes as well as top tier formal Muay Thai instruction. Love the recent remodel. The facilities are great. Shout out to my dog David! read more

My two sons out of five joined in December 2024 and have enjoyed every session they've had learning from all the different coaches. We're still new to Valor but hope to be here for many years with goals for them to grow, have fun and compete. They're always eager to learn more and strive to be the best version of themselves as fighters. I did my research on other gyms, and we felt like this was the place where they can grow at their own pace. The boys have been receiving great feedback during and after their training sessions. As a parent, I've had positive interactions with the Coaches and would recommend Valor. read more

My son really enjoys it here. Staff seem great. Seems like the coaches have good control of the class and the children seem to have a great time. They have three different levels and at level 2 they can start sparring. No complaints on that. I will say the bathrooms are pretty bad which make me concerned about the mats. Hopefully whoever is in charge of one isn't in charge of the other. read more

If you've ever been curious about Muay Thai and are looking for a great gym--look no further! Valor is an amazing place to learn new skills, have fun, and push yourself. The coaches bring a positive attitude, focus on solid technique, and constantly encourage you to work hard and improve. Highly recommended! read more

My son (10yrs to 12yrs) attended training here at Valor (VTC) for 2 years. These are my honest opinion and here you can decide for yourself as we have never trained with another facility. The Goods: When we started, There were a lot of other kids which made the classes full and fun for my son. The instructors were both female and male instructors. There were a lot of other kids his age which never had any face to face combat altercations. All the kids were nice especially the ones whom were more advanced. They understood the level of difference and took it easy on the less experienced also help give them pointers from time to time. The instructors were loud and firm yet very informative and partnered the students well together. Most of the time my son had fun. The Bad's: I felt like this was more of a business than a school. To be more specific, in the summer they would go cheap and would not turn on the A/C and it was terribly HOT. This happened a lot. And when the instructor turned on the A/C , I've caught the Owner asked them why when it's not above a certain temperature outside. They test every month or so and make us buy belts which the kids never used. They received the belts as a promotion than threw it at home somewhere. A waste of $60 a month. Also the prices always changed . Seemed like every quarter prices would hike. The schedule for training changed frequently also( another poor business decision) 2-3 time a year. If your child was in the sparring class (which they highly hype it up so you can buy more merchandise for training) that was the only time they really learned how to put what they learned to use. The instructors: they were just young kids from the ages of 16-23 and was made to run the business at the same time teach the classes. These are not trained trainers nor have they had many fights under their belts and non the less experienced business men. My personal experience and thoughts: This is a nice place with nice kids training. I believe it's a poorly ran business where I don't feel like the owner puts enough attention into it where I want to invite my sons friends, soccer,basketball, baseball teammates to come and join. At the end of my son's 2nd year , there were less kids and my son got bored. All in all it's a great way to learn some form of martial arts but it made sure we never gave another school a chance again. Good luck and I hope this helped. read more

Pretty cool I learned how to kick things and punch things properly There classes are pretty fun Alright music read more

Blue Lion Muay Thai - Kickboxing Near Me - Elk Grove, California

VTC is the place to be. A very welcoming atmosphere with great coaches; Ash, Alyssa, Matt, Christian, Norman, and Gabe (sorry if I've spelled any names wrong or missed anyone!) are all great. Attentive to detail, encouraging, and willing to work with whatever constraints a student may have. And every now and then, Kru Patrick drops in and runs a class, which is of course next-level. Like any sport, you get out what you put in. I've felt the change in my strength, stamina, and technique in a very short amount of time. VTC is great for kids and adults, no matter if you're just trying to stay active or if you want to go win belts in Thailand. I highly recommend VTC to anyone who is interested in starting a martial art, whether for exercise, competition, or self-defense. See you on the mat! read more

Highly recommend! The coaches are great at making you feel welcomed. Martial arts is an extremely intimidating sport especially for beginners like myself but the coaches here not only build your technique in detail but your confidence as well. The classes are well structured and fun. read more

All the coaches have been great in trying to show him proper technique and how to control aggression. These lessons learned are priceless! read more

My daughter (14 years old) LOVES training at Valor Elk Grove. She has been coached by Matt and Alyssa and she loves both of them. She can be grumpy as heck all day but when she starts her class, she is all smiles. The training at Valor helps her release stress (aka frustration, anger) while gaining strength, flexibility and self defense/sparing skills. The age range as well as the skill level, in the classes varies which provides my daughter the opportunity to learn from others and support new students. I highly recommend Valor for any age. read more

They are so so nice here! I've never tried Muay Thai before so I was pretty intimidated. Kru Patrick answered all my questions through Instagram and they have an affordable 3-day trial promo for $20. They have memberships in addition to drop-in day rates. I've been going to their teen/adult classes. They are newbie friendly and the team is very helpful and supportive especially considering that I'm kind of slow lol. Some other Muay Thai centers have the reputation of being jerks. They moved their stuff outside for COVID and I recommend this training center. read more

Need to stop playing inappropriate music when the kids are mingled in with the adult classes. It's inappropriate and disgusting to hear some of the music being played. There's a lot of parents complaining to each other. How the hell do they think playing hardcore rap is appropriate???? read more

Great place to workout very clean and team friendly. Love coming here coach Alyssa Matt and Ash are the best!

I was in some need of getting my child active during covid. They started outside and were social distanced. All precautions from temps were taken. We are always greeted with a warm greeting. The instructors and owner always know the kids name, even the parents. They are very skilled and are so kind. read more

Valor Training Center is the best martial arts school around. I started commuting to their Stockton location 3 years ago, and now they are here in Elk Grove. The high quality of learning I received from their Stockton location, without question, remains the same, despite just recently opening their doors earlier this year in Elk Grove. Their kids classes are outstanding. Kru Patrick, Coach Jesse, and Coach Carlo clearly understand how kids think, feel, and work. They know how to burn their energy, get them to listen, and build their confidence for the future. With schools being closed, this is honestly the best place help kids mental development by getting them to socialize and simply play with learning. The Ring Ready Fitness classes can be tough, but so worth it. You will feel yourself get stronger and faster. It's a time to let out steam. Their Adult Muay Thai classes are the best by far. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner, you WILL learn how to fight in 6 months. Even then you won't want to quit from just there, because even before you know how to fight-you WILL feel like you are part of this tight-knit community and obviously there will always be more to learn and improve. Sign-up and I guarantee you'll probably be standing next to me and a couple of my teammates 12 months later at the end of class yelling: VTC!!! read more

If you want a quality place for martial arts that will change you and your children's lives, sign up here. This place teaches authentic Muay Thai with a traditional martial arts vibe. They have an amazing and clean facility. Great place to train with good quality instructors read more

My son and I love taking the classes offered at Valor! I love all aspects of their Junior Champs program because not only do they teach the kids the basics of Muay Thai but also life lessons that they can apply outside on a daily basis. The Adult classes more than meet expectations and you learn the various Muay Thai techniques!! The Coaches are more than awesome and they go over and beyond to work with each individual even in a class setting. Definitely glad we found and joined Valor Traing Center! read more

A spacious facility with top notch equipment. The moment you enter through the door you're greeted by everyone. All students, staff, and parents are smiling, courteous, and most importantly having fun. The walls are painted in a vibrant red and black. The color scheme just screams badass. The kids/adults training area is covered in Zebra mats with mirrors on the East wall. Parents can enjoy watching their kids from the seats and armrests near the entrance side. A small dining area is located adjacent this area. You can see the current class training through windows facing the training mats. Next is the bag/ring area. It is covered in modular mats and has 5 Fairtex banana bags, 2 Fairtex boxing bags, 2 elbow bags, and a full-size ring along with jumping ropes, Thai pads, and other gym paraphernalia. Best of all, it always smells Pine sol clean. The coaches specialize in teaching beginners and working professionals. The clients here can't afford to get injured, so the staff are always vigilant in making sure everyone is training appropriately. New members will feel comfortable learning a new skill in a safe training environment because the training is tailored for novices. Kru Pat is the owner and head instructor of the Valor facilities. Under his guidance 3 champions have emerged from Valor. Aside from adults, at least 5 girls and 3 boys, ages 10-15 have earned championship belts from all over the world: Turkey, South America, Thailand, and all over the US. He is also the premier Muay Thai authority in the West and the US Muay Thai team head coach. read more

My son started here in March and is loving it. A little expensive but worth it for him. He's doing great, all the coaches are nice and the kids love them. I do wish the kids didn't have to wear masks but other then that we love it. read more

The students and more importantly the staff at Valor were great! My son and I were able to be involved in the 3 classes. This is part of their introduction to the school and classes offered. We both were very impressed and had a great time. Patrick and the other instructors were very engaging, very upbeat and patient with us (the new guys). Although we weren't able to make the financial commitment, they were very understanding and thought maybe down the road we could reevaluate and join whenever comfortable. I was incredibly disappointed we couldn't be a part of this awesome school, but financial responsibility can be a bummer sometimes. Give it a shot and maybe you will have the dough in order to make the jump. Go for it!! Thanks again Valor!! read more

My son started classes back in October and instantly fell in love with the class on the very first day! We officially signed up only after three days and have not missed a class since. Not only has my son learned Muay Thai techniques and discipline but he has also gained a lot of confidence as well. The coaches are knowledgeable and extremely patient especially with the tiny tigers (5-7 year olds). I highly recommend Valor Training Center for anyone looking for a place for their kids to train and grow! read more
