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. We consider ourselves a family, at World Muay Thai. Everyone supports each other and makes the class fun. Don't be mistaken though, we sweat and scream together :-) I know that I will continue to train with Kru Pong for years to come. I have grown so much as an athlete, and generally, as a person. 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 like how he incorporates a variety of workouts and steers from keeping the one on one sessions from being boring. I have tried going to other trainers near my area, but I do not manage to get the same results as I see with Marcos. He knows what works for me and how to get me summer, work, and now wedding ready! Both of my kids have also trained mixed martial arts/boxing with Marcos and Whiskey since the ages of 4 and 7. Now, 16 and 13, they continue to train with private lessons when we can fit it into their "busy teenage" schedule. Not only do they learn defensive skills, but Whiskey also helps as a mentor for them. I appreciate all they do! I must also add that my Fiancé joins in on the workouts so this is for sure a family affair!

I dropped in twice. First time I didn't stay for any training as the instructor said he wouldn't be…read moreinvolved that day. He said that was typical for weekends. Came back on a weekday and stayed for training... he was barely involved in training that day. I understand how someone might think he is rude but I wouldn't go that far, really he just comes off as checked-out and not interested in his gym / business. The session is about 1/3rd combat sport related. The other 2/3rds is light cardio drills you can do in your own home. The other attendees are more willing to help and with that I would say this place serves more of a sparring club than a serious training gym.

The Yard and Yoshi are excellent. This review will hopefully be helpful as an update to how class…read moreis run (since class has changed a little). First my background: I've trained Muay Thai for two years (first time was in April of 2022). I've trained at 7 gyms: FLMT (Florida Muay Thai , OC MT, Team Oyama, Classic Fight Team, Rising Suns Thai Boxing, NELA Combat Fitness, and Boxing Works. My home gym for the last year was Boxing Works under the instruction of Coach Bryan Popejoy, where I trained 3-4 days a week and did one on ones once a week for about 3 month. I would've stayed there however I recently moved to Northeast LA (Highland Park) and the drive to Torrence for BW was too much (about an hour to an hour and a half drive there and 40 minutes on the way home). Whereas the Yard is a 6-minute drive from me with ample sessions. Second, class style: Classes are Monday through Friday: 8-9:30, 10-11:30, 4-5:30, and 6-7:30pm and then two sparring classes on Saturday from 9-10:30 and 11-12:30. As far as I'm aware, Yoshi teaches each class and he does an excellent job. At other gyms, I feel much more advanced then I do at the Yard. Lots of basic bad habits that I got into are getting fine-tuned and corrected. A typical class is organized in four parts: (1) Cardio: A five minute round of jump ropes and then a 30 minute cardio session where we jog, sprint, do knees, teep across the mats. (2) Bagwork We then do several rounds of shadow boxing where Yoshi will make small adjustments to our form. From there, we all go on the heavy bags and practice whatever we want to work on for several rounds while Yoshi works one on one with us on pad/mitwork. This is where I think the Yard shines. If you go to a class with few students, you are essentially getting a free one on one. When you're not working one on one with Yoshi, you are working the bag. (3): Drills/Sparring From there, we work on a specific technique through partner drills and then light technical sparring. Yoshi is very attentive as he goes around and makes adjustments and suggestions. On Fridays the technique is clinch focused; which is really great. Many gyms in Southern California lack emphasis on the clinch. (4): Burnout/core work: We end with 3 minutes of ab/core work and then a minute plank. Sometimes we will burnout with skip knees on the bag. Overall: An excellent choice. I can't speak to how it would be for a beginner, as I came with two-years of experience. I imagine it would be a great place to start. Potential cons: I do not see people doing drills on thai pads (where one partner holds pads and the other hits). Typically, a Muay Thai class is 1 hour. At the Yard, it is 1.5 hours. Which means its a little more demanding. At this point, I cannot train every day even if my schedule allowed it because my body and cardio is just too shot. I imagine with time, that'll change.

TLDR: Best boxing gym. Great coaches. Excellent culture…read more This is hands down the best boxing gym I have ever partaken. It makes a huge difference when the head coach (Tiko) is kinesiology educated and brings real science to everyday training. Coach George and Tiko drive positive gym culture by leading by example. Everyone who steps into Thruline is met with an intense training atmosphere, but always a warm welcome. However, it's not just the coaches. The students are a massive part of making day-to-day training worthwhile (and safe). My first day here, one of the gym's fighters took time out of his own training schedule to ensure I was getting the basics down. Positive gym culture starts at the top and it is well demonstrated at Thruline. Whether you're a fighter looking to enter the ring, someone trying something new for the first time, a martial arts hobbyist looking to add some boxing to your skill set (like me), or just looking to introduce your kids to an amazing sport... this is the gym for you. Additionally, the membership provides other unique benefits and access to amenities. For some, the amenities alone may be worth the membership. I highly recommend, especially as this review arrives at the heels of the gym's relocation/expansion.

They are absolutely in tune with every student and truly uphold the standards of consistency, discipline and technique. Doesn't matter what type of experience you have or if you are truly new to the art of fighting/boxing. You walk out of THRULINE gym a better fighter. The sparring sessions are fun and engaging, the conditioning days are brutal but rewarding and the private lessons with head coach Tiko, truly motivates you to continue sharpening your skills, while unlocking abilities you didn't think you had. I'm still in the beginning of my boxing journey and although I started late in life, I have no doubt that THRULINE will bring out all the potential, talent and confidence I have stored. Again, I want to emphasize. The coaches here are amazing. They are Confident, knowledgeable, and most importantly patient. They will not give up on you, even if for a brief second you doubt your capabilities.
