I stumbled across Ascend Muay Thai on Yelp and sent them an email to inquire about their intro classes. Coach Jackie responded to me in less than 30 minutes with the pricing and class information. She was super friendly over email, which made me feel better about trying a fairly intimidating new hobby at 27 lol. It has now been about a month since I started attending the intro class, and I wanted to write about my positive experience here. This is a family owned gym that cultivates a welcoming environment. All of the coaches are passionate and knowledgeable about the sport. Also, not only am I learning a lot, but it's also a KILLER workout!!! I genuinely look forward to coming here 2x a week I would highly recommend coming here if you're interested in learning more about Muay Thai!

Chris Hom took my info , gave me a quick tour and we began the 11am session. I was very happy with the class,Chris ran an organized class ,he had a solid ability to impart information and make sure everyone was on point for the drills,gave each of the fighters tips on their technique. My partner was Mark,he was knowledgeable and fun to work with. I live and train in Las Vegas,but try to hit local gyms when I travel. I have been to over a dozen across the country,and Ascend will definitely be my home away from home while visiting South Bay Area.

Today we took our daughter for the first time ever to this place to see if she would like it. She…read moreended up really enjoying it, however things took a very strange turn quickly. Again, this is the first time she had ever tried this so expectations should be low. From what I could see my daughter was doing great, but the instructor seemed to be very serious and in the end she said my daughter was not "ready" while she seemed to be doing just fine compared to even some of the kids that were there for awhile. How is some supposed to learn if you don't train them and give them more than one chance? You don't just give up on someone with only one try. My daughter was very excited when she got home and was hoping to go for a second round. Very disappointing and unprofessional as you're supposed to train these kids and not give up on them this quickly. These aren't adults and the instructor is supposed to teach them the skills if they feel like they are initially lacking. As someone who did martial arts around the same age as my daughter and for many years of my life, I'm shocked and appalled and the lack of empathy and care from this place.

This review is based on a trial for the age 4-7 kids class…read more Before class started, the coach was speaking to a kid in a "you better or else" way and we thought maybe he was a parent speaking to his kid. He wasn't. It wasn't. The coach shoved a kid forward, and our initial thought was the kid tripped and lost his balance but no.. it was clear he was shoved when the coach shoved another kid and he did the same topple forward motion, while saying "get over there you know where you're supposed to be" NOTE: he did NOT shove every kid. These 2 appeared to be particularly familiar with the coach. The coaches made little to no attempt to build rapport, engage or really help the new kid. When said new kid raised a concern, he was ignored by the main coach and then brushed off by the second one. Overall, Lute is a little cheaper, but not a great environment for kids IMHO. It's a shame as it is physically the closest gym to us so would be the most convenient. I really wanted it to work out, but I just couldn't get on board with their environment and approach (or lack thereof) Whoever does the email correspondence comes off a little abrasive, but the woman filling in for the front desk person was nice enough.

She enjoys WCWMA. She practices at home and always waits until evening to get to class. She also showed me interest in helping in the beginner class. She is a brown belt now. It's a great place to train kids here. HiFi, five-star reviews

Staff is friendly but I can't say this is a great dojo…read more Maybe there has been a change to how tkd is taught nowadays but from what I see it's a very non chalant setup and teaching. There are just a crap load of students jammed into a small dojo. Kids are just ran through a meat grinder and belt ceremonies are a joke. There are kids who have no clue what they are doing and still get new belts. When I took tkd as a kid my instructors were strict and focused on training and technique. I don't see that here.

He's been training there for six…read moreyears, and every single time we go, he's just as excited to step on the mat and learn as he was on day one. Over the years, my wife and I have seen his confidence soar, his patience grow, and his dedication deepen. A lot of that credit goes to the consistent environment and the incredible coaches. They are hands-on during training and truly invested in each child -- not just in helping them succeed on the mat, but in guiding them to grow off the mat as well. I highly recommend GUERRILLA Jujutsu to any parent considering martial arts for their kids. Take the time to check them out and connect with Coach Matt -- you won't regret it.

As the head…read morejudge at major Kung Fu competitions, he carries the quiet authority of a master whose skill has been tempered by decades of discipline and honor. What defines his teaching is precision sharper than a blade. He sees every flaw in a stance, every imbalance in a strike, every hidden weakness in a form -- and he names them without hesitation. Some might find that daunting, but for those who seek true mastery, his guidance is a rare gift. Each correction feels like a doorway to deeper understanding, and through his relentless attention to detail, my practice has transformed. If you're searching for a place where tradition lives, where the path is demanding but deeply rewarding, and where a true master will push you beyond your limits, Sun's Kung Fu Academy is a sanctuary worthy of any martial arts journey.

I dropped 20 lbs and went from a womens size 10 to size 4 in less than 4 months doing Combat Circuit 2-3 days a week. I am a full-time working Mom with 3 kiddos and I'm happy to say that I was able to shed off all baby weight gain and I did not drastically change or eliminate anything from my diet. I did follow Nate's suggestion and cut my portions in half. Nate is wonderful - he motivates you to do your best and go further. He cares about you and your health. Tip - bring water and an extra towel to sit on when you drive home - you'll need it!
