My husband and I have been coming here for a few weeks now, and I seriously cannot say enough…read morepositive things about OC Muay Thai. To start, my husband takes once a week privates and is signed up for their weekly classes. I'm currently in grad school so I take once a week privates. Let me tell you: 1.) You will never find a group of more genuine, kind hearted and caring people to teach you Muay Thai or boot camp. Neil coaches my guy and I and he is such an honest and real person. He pushes you, but always safely. David, the owner, is the coolest and he is so honest - he really cares about the people who come to stay here and even those who just come through. Hamid is an absolute joy to be around - he's always happy and energetic. Despite me entering the gym with 0 knowledge in Muay Thai, I have never once felt judged, embarrassed, or any other negative emotions because these dudes just aren't those types of people. 2.) the gym itself is pretty freaking awesome. It's large, it's spacious, the equipment is good and clean and the ring is kept clean. There's never any weird smell (I'm looking at you 24 hour fitness) and I love that their ceilings are high as hell so that there's just a ton of space. 3.) I cant speak for the classes since I haven't been, but husband LOVES them and he is always happy to go and come back from them. He tells me about how helpful everyone is and how even though people are at different stages, everyone holds each other up. There's no "me versus you" feeling. Everyone is here to learn and egos are checked at the door. 4.) The privates with Neil will kick your ass. Enough said. Neil is a lovely, personable guy and he will push you - but as I said, always safely. For example I got a foot cramp today and he stopped the lesson for a few minutes to help me breathe and stretch through it. All in all, I love this place and it's becoming a second home to my husband and I. I look forward to every day that I come in here and I can't wait to get better.

He loves to rough play and doesn't always know when to stop, so we wanted something that would help him build more discipline and self-control. Total MMA has been such a great fit for him. Since starting, we've seen a big difference in his restraint, focus, and confidence. He now does kickboxing before his BJJ class, and he absolutely loves it. It definitely challenges him and tires him out, but in the best way. It keeps him active, engaged, and excited to keep learning. It's also been really special because his dad started taking the adult classes too, so now they both do kickboxing and BJJ. It's become something they can enjoy together, which has made the experience even more meaningful for our family. We're so grateful for the positive impact Total MMA has had on my child.

I could not disagree more with the reviews from "Hiba" and "Amirsam"... my children have been…read morecoming to this gym for these awesome classes for over a year now. When they first started in a trial class, they were welcomed by the other students, supported by their peers and made new friendships. I have observed every single class my children have been in and I see nothing but enjoyment and advancement in skill. I see coaches that genuinely care about their students respect for their parents in an all around family and community based environment. The staff has continues to improve safety measures, hygiene measures, and as a healthcare provider, I'm impressed by the measure staff and coaches take to sanitize the mats and keep equipment clean. I have never noticed that the coaches were not attentive to all students. In fact I have to commend this gym for being well staffed with coaches that truly pay attention to all the students, that's not easy to do, but they manage to so. My kids absolutely love coming to classes and we will continue to be patrons of this establishment. Don't believe the VERY FEW negative reviews on here. If you're interested in this gym take a trial class and see for yourself. It's a really great place for kids to learn jujutsu and Muay Thai. .

After a ton of research, we decided to take a trial class at Legacy...and it completely exceeded our expectations! The Grand Master is incredibly hands-on and even teaches the toddler classes (Tiny Tigers), which truly sets this place apart. Every instructor is welcoming, highly skilled, and genuinely passionate. I love that they teach more than just martial arts...they emphasize discipline, safety awareness, confidence, and respect for elders. Every class is creative and different, so the kids never get bored, and it's actually fun to watch as a parent! My daughter comes out happy, tired, and excited to come back each time. She truly feels like part of a family here. We can't recommend Legacy enough!

She started training when she was just 3 years old and is now a confident 11year old second degree black belt!

They create a positive and disciplined environment where kids learn respect, perseverance, and confidence, all while having fun and staying active. If you're looking for a martial arts program that emphasizes not only technique but also character development and community, LEGACY is the place to be. Highly recommend!

We hosted our daughter's 5th birthday party here too. Coach Felton is an awesome fighter and teacher. He has a gentle, and patient, heart for kids. Your child will learn about fundamentals, body mechanics, respect, healthy self challenge (kinesthetic learning, progressive higher jumps, balance beams, etc.), and have a fun time! Coach Madison, Josh, Mike, and the whole squad are awesome too. They create a nice community for the kiddos and adults. The music selection is kid friendly too - you might find yourself bobbing your head or dancing like me. Haha. There's also a martial arts and adult training here too! Lastly, they take Charter funds! Keep up the great work! Albert

At other places, he often felt like he couldn't keep up or just got bored. But here, he's found confidence like I've never seen before. The coaches keep the kids moving, engaged, and constantly learning new skills. Coach Felton does an incredible job helping the kids build real confidence and making them want to participate and improve. Since joining, I've seen tremendous growth in my son's athleticism, motivation, and self-belief. He's proud of what he can do, and he looks forward to every class. Coach Felton explains what's expected in a way the kids understand, then supports each one so they can succeed. I can't recommend Felton Ninja enough -- it's been such a positive, empowering experience for my child

I cannot say enough great things about Tustin Shaolin! I feel incredibly grateful to have found…read morethis place while searching for somewhere to learn Tai Chi. From day one, I was welcomed into a warm, supportive community that truly cares about its students. Since starting Tai Chi here, I've noticed a real improvement in my breathing (I have asthma) and my body feels stronger, more balanced, and more at ease overall. The benefits have been both physical and calming, and I look forward to class every week. Doug, the owner, is absolutely amazing. His passion for Tai Chi and Shaolin arts is obvious, and he genuinely cares about every person in the class. He takes the time to give thoughtful corrections, explains movements clearly, and always offers alternatives if you have any physical limitations. His depth of knowledge and care really set this place apart. When I first became interested in Tai Chi, I tried checked out tik tok or YouTube videos but it was all over the place so I began my search for an in person place (in December) it's not February and taking an in-person class is a completely different experience. The personalized guidance, hands-on corrections, and insight you receive here are things you simply cannot get from a video. It has made all the difference in my progress and confidence. I'm so excited to continue my Tai Chi journey here. I highly, highly recommend Tustin Shaolin to anyone looking for Tai Chi! The Shaolin classes also look incredible! I may have to try those someday too!
