Okay, I have to leave this review because Milestone Martial Arts genuinely surprised me in the best way. I started Muay Thai here in my 40s, walked in as the only woman, and was fully prepared to feel awkward and out of place. That did not happen. Not even a little. The vibe here is welcoming in a way that feels authentic, not performative. Everyone from the coaches to the other students made me feel like I belonged from the very first class. I have been training for a while now and still look forward to every session. If you have been talking yourself out of starting because of your age, your fitness level, or feeling like you just do not fit the "martial arts type," please just go. Milestone is the kind of gym that meets you exactly where you are and helps you grow from there. One of the best decisions I have made for myself. read more

My children have tried every martial art type available in Las Vegas from rec centers to kukkiwon to standard franchise belt factories.. all with their own style, system, and ways to make fun but was never the right fit. From the website to the second you step into their gym, Milestone Martial Arts, Dr/Sensei Lorenzo, and Thai have impressed me with their approach and philosophy. So much so that I sing their praises to anyone interested in listening and have recruited two family friends to send their kids here. Jiu Jitsu, Judo, and Muy Thai are practical martial arts that would help in self defense.. especially because many violent situations often end up on the ground. To have a child start learning the basics in repetition and applicability with a focus on the psychology, intent, control, discipline, de-escalation, and defense makes sense. It becomes second nature. Their intent isn't to kick someone's butt and be aggressive but to have control over the situation to the point where the aggressor will be incapacitated and stop. It gives me comfort and confidence to know that my now 6 year-olds can develop the skills to take care of themselves as they learn more independence. And hey... if they're good, competitive, and can kick butt then sure let's gooooo. Milestone's youth system is rooted in child/adolescent psychology and development. Their emphasis is about taking ownership, repetition, discipline, and earning reward. They group the kids into cohorts based on age and each group progresses through their belt system on a tri-mester basis until they reach Level 4 where they join kids who have been in the program for over a year. There is no "randori" until Level 3 which is great because by then they have built enough skills and control to be competitive but also understand their body movements. Their instructors are all seasoned martial artists trained and educated in working with children and youth. They make it fun and entertaining. The best part is their meditation where the kids learn to just sit in themselves for several minutes, quite and not moving. Many parents have expressed how much it is helping their childrens' focus and discipline in school, at home, and in other activities. The whole school is very supportive and I hope they go far with their system because it is definitely one of the best. read more

Kai has been training at Milestone for almost 9 years now, he will be 13. With the group of kids he trained with they all started their Judo journey. Their first compition with the team was judo, Kai was 6. He got the compition bug. Sensi Leandro added Kosen judo next. As a competitor your knowledge foundation needs to grow with each individual. To be a well rounded competitor you can't be predictable. Almost 7 years later watching some of the same kids compete is nail biting and enjoyable. Hearing people sitting around us saying, ,he knows judo", they sound surprised, we are proud. read more

Hands down best martial arts training. The coaches and everyone is super respectful. Constantly learning something new from coach Acosta and everyone who trains here. I've attended for sometime and will return after my wrist surgery. But it's an honor being trained by some very brilliant coaches and trainees. This is truly a lifestyle and I've learned so much of myself, it's as if this a religion now for me. However I highly recommend if your just looking to improve new skills or if you're training to compete or trying something. Whichever the reason I'm certain this place will suit you. read more

I'm really tiny and have always wanted to try some sort of self defense but prices can be ridiculous most of the time. When I heard about their $35 for 30 days trial and you get a free Gi & belt I figured why not try it out?! If I end up not liking it at least I got a uniform right?! Called in yesterday & spoke to the owner Leandro who was pleasant, came by today to sign up & Robert was informative got my free stuff and will start soon. Update: so I did my trial & I was bummed because I couldn't commit to going more. Like Coach Robert said, "it doesn't matter what belt you are, missing a day or two will already make you feel like you're out of shape". I didn't get to go for a bit because my 3 kids and hubzie ALL decided to take turns getting sick & of course all they want is ME. So mommy duties came first, but I was happy with my experience here & I like the small class, I was the only adult female every time I went but it was nice that when I didn't feel comfortable "rolling" I wasn't forced to. Thanks again Coach Robert for being patient with me & texting to see if I was ok since I missed quite a few classes. If my schedule becomes less demanding, I will surely return. read more

By far this is the most important family oriented martial arts gym in Las Vegas ( school after school ) for the entire family!! The combination of classes gives time for the parents to practice/learn any of the adults classes such as Brazilian JiuJitsu, Muay Thai, Judo,etc while the kids are training and creating strong foundation, personality and gain confidence while learning how to defend your kids or your self! Sensei Leandro is a very dedicated instructor/business together with his wife Taisa they run this place and everyone is always welcome to their dojo!! % recommend it. Note: Don't forget to say "heyyyyyyy" when you walked in.... I'm a former student! read more
