I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into, and I loved every minute of it. I took an all-levels Muay Thai class with Coach Osmar and had a blast. I went in thinking we'd do some light work and quickly realized I was very wrong. It was a full hour of nonstop movement, and I loved every minute of the challenge. Coach Osmar was incredibly technical, patient, and encouraging throughout the entire class. As someone who works out regularly and is also a coach myself, I really appreciated the balance of instruction and intensity. The workout pushed me in the best way while still making me feel like I was learning something new. The community was great, the energy was even better, and I'm already looking forward to going back. read more

I have been a member at KINGS MMA HQ for nearly 3 years now. I came from another MMA gym. I can truly say that all the coaches are world class trainers, great people, very honest and most importantly, make learning a martial art fun. I dabble in both Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu classes on a weekly basis. Morning and evenings classes for both martial arts are offered and this works perfectly with my work schedule. The space is huge and is always clean as well. Everyone I've met at this gym is nice and willing to help as well. Overall the fighters and grapplers that Master Cordeiro and Professor Ricardo have produced in the past years has paid off because this gym has many high level athletes. I am very happy at KINGS MMA HQ! read more

So this was my 4th class today! I've been taking Muay Thai with Coach Rafael and Coach Osmar and I can say I'm having a blast. Being one of the very few females in this class, both coaches have taken the time to do 1 on 1 with me. It's challenging, but both coaches have been patient and encouraging. I really love it and highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to get into MMA of any sorts. I must say only thing is I've been taking cardio boxing for last 6 months so I have the basic movements down like jab, crosses & hooks. I would def recommend getting the very basics down first it's a very fast moving class but other than that, still beginner friendly ! Can't wait for my next class :D read more

A fantastic MMA / Jiu Jitsu studio, they have everything from UFC Pros training to a huge kids program, the trainers are incredible! overall a great atmosphere. Professor Ricardo is a gem!! read more

Since the moment I moved to Huntington Beach, last month I have been a member of this gym through personal training. Mr. Cordeiro from the minute he met me, shook my hand, asked me my name, and told me to watch the kids at play at Muay Thai Practice. He didn't know me but just like that ESPN documentary on "Kings MMA" all of his students are his "sons." Mr. Cordeiro is the mind behind the old-school Pride MMA gym "Chute-Box" in Brazil that made Wanderlai Silva and Shogun Rua. Currently, UFC monsters like Beneil Dariush and Giga Chikatzke train here. Wanderlai and Mr. Cordeiro have the MMA team for GFL coming soon, but in general, for a place of "monsters" all the Brazilians and people in general are the nicest people I have ever met. I will continue to train here, but it's totally worth the money and time. They treat you like family. Plus you can see all the UFC gold. read more

Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced fighter, this gym is a great place to grow. The training is intense and rewarding. Every session leaves you feeling stronger and more confident. read more

I attended an "all level" boxing class through classpass suppose to be an 1hr long didn't even bother to stay long. I dont know why this service is offered maybe quick cash grab?? Coach obviously is not enthusiastic to direct a complete beginner was pretty dismissive and un attentive especially when long term members joined halfway for sparring in pairs. Note Im the only woman there. When it came time to switch pairs they completely were trying to avoid eye contact with me, not engaging. I was left with this young girl also a member saying they are always like this. Hope better sportsmanship is taught also they only have a mens locker room.. As an adult I can leave when my time is being disrespected but im concerned about the young girl with all the male members already showing disrespect. I understand this gym isn't for me now but this experience is pretty disappointing as someone wanting to start MMA. read more

Its smelly. The place smells like mold & the trainers don't care about the kids. The kids look bored. It's pretty much a babysitting class.

A huge shoutout to my brother Rafael Cordeiro and the entire Kings MMA family. Not only is Rafael a true master at his craft, training legends like Mike Tyson, but he also creates an atmosphere that sets Kings MMA apart. The moment you walk through those doors, you feel a deep sense of community and belonging. Every person who steps into this gym leaves with not just sharpened skills but also a stronger sense of discipline. Kings MMA is more than a gym--it's a place where champions are made, both mentally and physically. read more

Great instruction, they are beginner friendly too! They are also on class pass if you want to try them out. Enjoyed both gi and no gi classes. read more

Beautiful gym. Owner Rafa C. Greeted me as i walked into the gym for the first time. The gym had different areas for different types of training. Its in Huntington Beach, located in a business lot.

My 6 year old son started here recently (bjj) and absolutely loves it! Ricardo and Tim have been amazing. The kids class seems chaotic at first with the wide range of age, but it is actually well run. My son has invited his other friends to come check it out and they love it too. I'm watching his confidence grow with every class. The membership fee is definitely expensive. With soccer and other committments during the week, we can only come in once a week so we do the drop in rate instead and so appreciative that they have that option. read more

So I utilized their free trial class. They fortunately let me try one Jiu Jitsu and one Muay Thai class. If I had just taken Jiu Jitsu the review would be 5 stars. It may have been because the class was smaller that I enjoyed it more. I am a first timer with MMA in general and my training partner was very helpful with breaking things down and explaining things. Although the music was a just tad bit loud to hear the professor well enough. As for Muay Thai, the class was larger and keep in mind this was my first experience with MMA so I have absolutely no prior knowledge of jabs? hooks? I was just thrown into the fire of all these punches I did not understand lol. I was paired with someone who had taken 2 classes, so a bit more familiar than I was, but I could tell he was getting frustrated that I didn't know what to do. We both would have benefited from the professor explaining to me this is how you: throw a jab, a hook, a cross, an uppercut, or how to properly hold the punching mat for your partner. Especially because this was supposed to be a beginner class. However he explained kicks well so I'll give him that. Overall I was a little disappointed. Maybe another day would have been better because the girl at the front desk informed me that the regular professor who teaches Muy Thai was not here and we had a sub. Oh whale read more

We started coming here because my 4 year old daughter was being bullied and she didn't have the skills or confidence to defend herself. 8 months later and her confidence has skyrocketed to the point where she's competed in two Jiu-Jitsu tournaments (and did a great job both times)! The Professors really care about their students and the kids sense that and love them right back. Now even my husband has started training BJJ and I look forward to enrolling in their Muay Thai program. It's become a family activity. read more

Came to visit today and everyone was very welcoming. Nobody seemed egoistic and the professor was very humble. He paid attention to everyone in the class and was there if you had any questions. He never made you feel as if you were bugging. Everyone you asked a question to answered you very nicely and welcoming. First time here, ever and I enjoyed the experience. Thank you!! read more

Was on vacation in LA to see Rammstein and didn't feel like dropping my cash on lame tourist traps, so I decided to do the thing I love best: kickboxing. Ample parking, $20 a day drop in fee, and classes throughout the day from morning to evening. I hear that Rafael shows up for the muay thai class from 6-7pm if you want to learn from him. I showed up to the thursday one and unfortunately he wasn't there that night (he was the night before though), but people tell me you better know your striking. There are lots of people training there, whether they be fighters, people wanting to learn, or just to get exercise. A lot Brazilian's train here so you know this place is legit for jiu jitsu if they fly all the way over to train here! I mainly did the muay thai classes and I can say that the instructors know what they are doing and taught me things I didn't know when training at my place back home. Sparring was on Fridays and fun. This place has a nice family feel to it even though lots of pros train there. There are two rooms so two classes can be taught at once. The mats are cleaned twice a day and the equipment is very new. Ample parking! I had a great time training here on vacation and I'll definitely return if I'm back in the area. read more

We were part of another martial arts studio and decided to make a change. After doing much research we found Kings and couldn't be happier.

The lady on the phone was super nice and gave me all the information I needed to know including the $25.00 drop in fee for the class. When I got there the entire class individually introduced them selfs as the class went on. The instructor Ricardo was very informative and more then willing to answer any questions me or any other student had on the technic he was demonstrating. If you find your self in the beautiful city of Huntington Beach Needing to train some jiu jitsu this is the place to go. Thank you everyone at Kings for making my visit so welcoming! read more

My son loves all the friends he has made and begs to stay every night after class. Our family loves what we are learning and the amazing friendships we are making! :) read more

I decided to try a free trial class at Kings MMA and it might be one of the best decisions I ever made! The whole staff was so welcoming and friendly to me from the second I walked in the door. The girls at the front desk helped me get signed up, answered all of my questions, and made sure that I had the right equipment for my first class. I started in a Muay Thai fundamentals class and the instructor Gregory made sure that I didn't fall behind even though I was clearly out of shape. He didn't let me get discouraged when I got tired and he encouraged me to keep coming back. I can't tell you how much it meant to me to be treated this way. I signed a 6 month contract with the intention of coming 4 times a week. When I came back the next day to buy boxing gloves and pads they were actually closed for Pro MMA but they told me not to worry and let me buy everything I wanted. While I was there they told me I could sign up for a private lesson with Master Rafael Cordeiro if I wanted to meet him and work on my form to get caught up with my class. I ended up training with Master Cordeiro for an hour this week and he is the nicest guy in the world. I've never had so much fun working out. I haven't been to a gym in over 5 years and now I want to go every day. I can't say enough about the whole team at Kings MMA. They treat you like family. read more

Ricardo is the best professor there, he has great skill, talent, and extremely patient. It's the most legit MMA school in HB.

Best gym in the nation, if not one of the top 3 in the world. The man, the myth, the icon, Rafael Cordeiro trains the top fighters here. Rafael trains top UFC fighters here like Anderson Silva, Shogun Rua, Wanderlei Silva, and Mayhem Miller. This gym is no joke and if you want to commit yourself to the world's fastest rising sport and being in the shape of your life, come here. It is the one. read more

This is truly an amazing place to train. There are very few places in the world where a person can walk into a gym known for training martial artists as talented as Wanderlei Silva, Anderson Silva, Shogun Hua, Fabricio Werdum, Babalu Sobral, Lyoto Machida etc. etc. and actually take a daily class with the head coach. And yes you will see amazing fighters who are always friendly and easy going. Rafael Cordeiro is a phenomenal instructor who makes everyone comfortable no matter the skill level. I recommend King's for the aspiring professional or someone that just wants to have fun and get fit. All of the instructors are top notch and King's has a family friendly vibe which shows in how they care for their students. It's been an honor to train here for over two years and is always a great experience. read more

Come and see why it is REAL and family. read more

I signed up for all the classes, being told I would get 55 dollars back if I didn't get accepted or didn't attend the mma class. Then I was told no after I payed that. Already paying 300 dollars a month. Which I've been to gyms that have just as good training, that charge you 150 a month. I never can get ahold of the right person to cancel the membership. I moved away. I was gonna come back and train. Cause the training was good. But definitely not now. Much respect to the gym. Just wish they could have handled it better. read more

Best place to train hands down. Master Cordeiro teaches you world class techniques and is a awesome coach and humble guy. I love this place. Been training here for a year now, just recently got back after a torn pelvic muscle that took 4 freakin months to heal! read more

This place is awesome!!! they really nice to me, especially Kory (the one work at the front desk) he've been very helpful, motivate me, even the coach here are awesome. I remember my first class here and my heart felt like it almost stopped after he warm up and i just realize that i still have a whole lesson to go. I signed up though i could go to muay thai class all the way from 6 to 8 pm but after 7 pm im just out :( they train really hard and also make you work on your cardio as well. I also get to meet wanderlei silva and jason miller. Have a great experience and will totally choose this gym to train. I highly recommend anyone who love mma to train at this gym because the way they train is extremely hard and you also get to meet famous people. read more

So many things to compliment on Kings MMA. Head instructor and legendary Rafeal Cordeiro who started Chute Boxe, trains some of the top names in UFC and past Pride FC fighters. Names like Wanderlai Silva, Shogun Rua, Babalu Sobral, Mayhem Miller and many more. With many classes to attend and great jiu jitsu and Muay Thai coaches/fighters to learn from, Kings MMA has build their name to reign supreme in the mma community. One of the best gyms to train at, especially if you're a resident in Huntington Beach. read more
