I was a 25 year old women who grew up always wanting to try out a mixed martial arts. After two…read morekids and having moved to a new city I took the initiative to try a free trial class through Coach Amanda. Little did I know I would form a community of people all looking to be active but also friends outside of the sport. Coach Joe and Coach Amanda are the most patient, giving, and trustworthy of people. They run their gym very professionally and truly do care to see each student succeed at their own level. Thankful for my teammates and the good laughs. If you're anxious to try a new gym or sport out, come here! I promise you won't regret it.

My boys have been here for a little over one year. The professors here took in two timid boys and…read morenow these boys are full of confidence. My son that is on the spectrum is thriving. My other son has competed in some pretty big tournaments. Overall don't think on it, do it. The professors here are great, the kids have their favorites but even so they enjoy every class. Get your children in jiu-jistu, you can thank me later. I'm going to comment on the other person that made a whole review on their first visit. There are actual professors teaching. Most compete themselves. Also yes there are adult volunteers kinda like a teachers assistant. Or other teens that have time being there and they ask to help out. If you call them before just showing up, someone will be there waiting for you. They will explain everything. They will give you the 411, and how it works. This only applies for your first time. And also it's NOT a scam, yes there are promotions. They promote according to age and or experience. If the child is learning they will get promoted. Yes you will have to pay for the new belt. And yes your contract renews depending on what you signed up for. It's your job to cancel if you don't want to continue. They are also a vendor with some homeschool charters. You can use your certificates here. Your child will not stay a white belt forever.

This review is based on my first impression/ visit. Everything seems welcoming which is great. But…read morewhen I went, there was no clear delineation of when a class began and ended, so unorganized. No one helped us at the front desk. Another parent helped my daughter get onto the floor. She joined the class and it was hard to distinguish where she belonged. The website says you'll be taught by this coach with experience but in reality it's parent volunteers who are assisting. I also saw a teenager helping out. There was no warmups or jumping jacks or sitting in a circle to get to know each other as I've experienced. My 8 year daughter began to spar and you can see there's kids who take it seriously and others who play around, my daughter being more the latter, and I don't think you should put those against each other. My daughter hurt her neck for about 3-4 days and she was fine after. But I let the woman who runs the place know and she never responded. We were texting about coming for a second intro class with her and she's fast to respond, but when I mentioned these other things she left me on "read" and I never heard back. The lack of encouragement to continue to try or even ask about my little one showed me all I need to know about this place. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this place and come here. They seem friendly but are unorganized and not very helpful and like a previous review mentioned it's parent volunteers teaching Jiu-Jitsu so maybe that's why my daughter got hurt because a professional coach would have caught that she's making a bad move on her neck, not a random parent. And I'm paying money to have a professional teach her. I would seriously reconsider coming here just due to the lack of encouragement or even concern. Just my opinion.

Sifu has been teaching for some time. He has had various locations in the Hemet, San Jacinto area…read more When I was at his other location he has had multiple instructors of other styles training under him and promoting his own instructor level students. Sifu is certified in various styles even with a 6th degree in jui jitsu and has judged in the UFC. Currently the schedule is not finalized but the draft for the schedule is in place. Circuit training will likely be on Fridays. There is good cardio work in his Muay Thai classes as well. He also has a kali class which is teaching stick fighting. Right now adult classes start at 5pm. Kids would be 4pm. There are morning classes scheduled for given days. Schedule may change seeing the school just opened and he will adjust it according to the students. Classes right now are $80/month for 3-4 classes a week. The classes are typically an hour long each. It's a really good deal. He teaches himself. He doesnt have an assistant teaching his classes which seems to be common for other schools in town...

Glutes, hamstrings, shoulders, and traps transformed going and training here, it transformed me like nothing else has in my life, if your on the fence or have never tried fighting in your life please just go, all the coaches are extremly friendly and understand excatly where to take you from a complete beginner, and nurture you into becoming a master, id like to say they have my upmost respect and praise as im doing very well in my life as of writing this, a complete 180 as to what i went through last year. Thankyou Beau you made me fall in love with the art and beauty of mma. The journey for me described in one word is "beautiful" -Lucas
