Under the leadership of Kru Rick, the atmosphere is welcoming, respectful, and inclusive. I started at rock bottom. Exhausted and carrying extra weight, I couldn't manage a single push-up, yet I was treated like part of the team from day one. The coaches are knowledgeable and offer thoughtful feedback. Classes are challenging and fun, and the people here are wonderfully supportive and encouraging. I started for physical fitness and stayed because Muay Thai has had such a positive impact on me mentally. A year and a half flew by and I'm down 30 lbs and feel stronger and more confident in my body. Muay Thai is healing. I've had a rough several years, and training has helped me work through fear and other difficult emotions. Over time, I've become more resilient and grounded. I genuinely love this sport and it has changed me in ways I didn't expect.

When I expressed my doubts, the business owner's wife said "oh don't worry sweetheart, this will definitely be the workout to get you fit." And she was right. Despite me being a beginner, the coaches and other gym members were patient and supportive. The community is fun and incredibly welcoming and that encouraged me to train regularly, and I was proud of how much I grew through their routines. MTL also has impressive fighters. I highly recommend MTL.

I love the fact that the coaches not only cares about what happens inside the dojo, but also outside of it - making sure the student are doing well at home AND at school before distributing stripes, and belts. Our 6 months with them expired today, and I decided to move it to a yearly renewal since I can see my daughter being with them for a while. She has improved significantly with her balance, focus & overall health just by going to here. Overall, I would recommend PMA to anyone considering having their child or themselves learn martial arts.

They are patient with him and guide him as he learns and trains. We find the coaches are dedicated to each student. The coaches are teaching these young individuals about dedication, hard work, commitment, courage, and safety. GM Llner shows them how it needs to be done and corrects them on the spot. GM Llner is very respectful towards everyone and we value his strictness and commitment to his art. He is truly a great teacher. We also enjoy how he gets his class to do pushups when they aren't working hard or goofing around. I think the fact that GM Llner educates the trainees to every aspect of self defense is crucial. He always gets my son and the others motivated to do better and learn from mistakes. He makes his sessions fun and enjoyable yet the trainees get the best results. This place is family and team oriented. We are lucky to have found them.

The price to put our children in this Taekwondo is reasonable and affordable.

In that time, I've trained all over the country and experienced a wide range of schools--but Waza BJJ stands out in every way. The owner, Derek Damano, is the real deal. He earned his black belt in 2006 from world champion Casio Werneck, and it shows in every class he teaches. On top of that, Derek is a Division 1 wrestler and has placed at multiple world-level international BJJ competitions. He's an elite athlete with an unparalleled depth of knowledge in grappling, both gi and no-gi, and one of the most well-rounded instructors you'll ever meet. Waza is home to a strong team of high-level black belts, and every assistant instructor brings their own flavor of excellence. The kids program is flourishing--the coaches are amazing, and the kids absolutely love being there. The environment is welcoming, structured, and fun. Beyond the instruction, the vibe at Waza is something special. Derek himself is probably one of the coolest guys in Jiu-Jitsu--laid-back, calm, funny, and just genuinely great to be around. He sets the tone for the entire academy. The facility is gorgeous--huge mat space, multiple bathrooms and changing areas, a clean waiting area for families, a kids' zone, and even a small cardio corner with machines for a quick workouts. Whether you're brand new to Jiu-Jitsu, looking for an amazing program for your kids, or already a black belt looking to sharpen your game, Waza BJJ is one of the best places you'll ever train. I personally love this place.

The family business vibe that kept me for 6 years was minimal. The owner (Patrick) turned into a MAGA keyboard warrior. I avoided Patrick's classes because it was 45 min of stretching and 15 min of workout. Coach Kirby's classes kept me going since my strength gains were worth it (and you don't need to take your shoes off for strength training lol). There was no point in coming here after the last certified personal trainer quit their strength program and more women gradually left. I would rather drive more to train at a different gym (more than one Muay Thai & strength gyms exist in Sacramento) than come here. I don't mind the cost as long as I am in a clean facility and the vibe is worth it. The only reason they have one star left is for Coach P. - he is a good Muay Thai coach and a rockstar. I didn't really go to Coach Rocci's classes until last year, but the few times I did his music was the best for sparring. Pro tip: use a different personal FB account to post political content where gym members can't see them. Regardless of whether people agree/disagree with your views, there is a level of professionalism needed if you want to be a successful business owner.
