Our oldest daughter, now 9, has been at POI for about 3 years now. She started out in the Mini Impact class because she was hesitant. She quickly progressed to the Team Impact MMA class and in 2024, after building confidence with the help of her coaches and teammates, she finally tried BJJ! She now competes and has multiple medals under her belt. Coach Kaitlynn, Coach Byron, Coach Reggie and Coach Junior are all amazing in their instruction in keeping it focused and fun! Their dedication of countless hours with the kids, especially on competition days, does not go unnoticed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The community we have found have become family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are looking for a MMA/BJJ gym for your kid, look no further than POI! A bonus is how clean the gym is! read more

Point of Impact MMA - Halloween party 2025 - Kickboxing Near Me - Orange, California

My son has been in the toddler MMA class at Point of Impact MMA, and I can honestly say it's worth every penny. With three classes a week, the value is incredible and the confidence boost I've seen in him has been huge. The coaches are amazing. Coach Jr brings this high energy that keeps the kids excited and engaged, while Coach Kaitlynn is very focused on teaching proper technique. They balance each other perfectly, and even in a group setting it truly feels like your child is getting one-on-one attention. If you're looking for a place where your kid can build confidence, burn energy, learn discipline, and have fun, I definitely recommend Point of Impact MMA for every kid. read more

Love POI! Our daughter has been attending since late 2020, and began when she was 4. *Coaches & Staff - Have always been so great! So kind, knowledgeable, very engaging and supportive of the kids, yet while maintaining a fun atmosphere. *Facility - The staff continually maintains the cleanliness of the facility and routine cleaning is done. Yoko (the owner) takes a lot of pride in his business and the upkeep of it. He's also invested in enhancements throughout the years and more seating is available, cold refreshments/vending machine, a sauna and gym equipment for use as well. *Community - We love the POI community! We've made great friends here and the kids are also great friends and get along well. Yoko (the owner) and the staff also host annual events such as a Halloween, Christmas and Summer potluck which everyone enjoys as it's really fun to come together and hang out. There's also a lot of support for competitors whether it be for adult MMA/kickboxing matches, adult BJj or kid's BJJ competitions. *Pricing - Honestly, so reasonable, especially for the kids classes and the amount of kids classes offered and basically the breakdown of price per class. The amount of kids classes also allows for flexibility during the week. This is super helpful with other family and school engagements, kids being unexpectedly sick and other extracurricular activities and sports. It just really allows you to plan while still getting your moneys worth. We've also made it a family affair and my husband takes Muay Thai and adult BJJ and I take Cardio Kickboxing. Nothing but good things to say about POI. read more

"I recommended this business because it's very helpful for your defense, and the coaches are very nice and advanced and they do a lot of games. They make it as fun as possible." (Written by my 9-year old) This gym truly is one of the best things my kids have participated in. The coaches are experienced, knowledgeable, and have genuine care for the kids' development. read more

Updating my review from 2019! Can't believe how much i love this place. Not only the facility is great and clean but the staff is friendly, very helpful and motivating. Since I joined POI I have try most of the classes and I recommend you do the same until you find your favorite class. If you are looking for a new gym and get ready for summer, I encourage you to schedule a quick appoinment over the phone and visit the gym. You will feel welcome even by the members. read more

This place is so great, the staff is extremely helpful and kind! I'm a really shy person and they made me feel so included and encouraged me to come out of my comfort zone! I enjoy coming to this gym so much and look forward to my classes! I recommend this place to everyone! Shout out to Coach Tyler, he's the best! read more

Been to quite a few MMA gyms but Point Of Impact made us feel more welcome than any other gym. Everyone there seems so friendly and supportive. We had a great cardio workout, dripped with sweat. 2 days later I'm still sore! The best thing about POImma is that they have a kids class at the same time as adult cardio. That way I can work out while my daughter is working out and we aren't just sitting around waiting for each other. Excited to be a part of their family! read more

Hands down one of the best facilities I've trained at. Every part of the space is clean and organized, even over the years the facility still looks like new. The Staff are extremely welcoming and helpful, are great with kids yet at the same time are professionals at their craft. Would recommend anyone in a heartbeat. read more

Awesome and super beginner friendly! I've only been training for about a week with coach Alec and it's been a great experience going to the morning Muay Thai classes. Everybody's extremely friendly and open which has just really made me feel excited to do even more here. Equipment and facility are also super clean and great prices and good schedules - especially for people like college students. read more

After catching COVID and recovering at home Dec 2020, it took me a long time to get back into fitness. Finally by spring 2021, after months of low to gradual higher intensity cardio exercises and a healthy eating plan, I wanted to get back into kickboxing. I did a free trial class and signed up for membership right after and have been there since mid-May. First of all, I love how friendly and welcoming the environment is. The attitude starts from the owners and trickles down to the staff to the students. The staff all try to remember your name and they greet you as you come and go into the facility. The facility is also very clean - you take off your shoes before entering the main floor area and bags are wiped down between classes. Belongings can be placed in lockers or shelves throughout the facility. The bathrooms are super clean and they have feminine supplies in case you need them. I was impressed with their COVID protocols - especially since I was hesitant to step inside a gym. Masks are encouraged but not mandatory, they check your temperature, they limit class size, and you do have to fill out a form stating you haven't had symptoms/been exposed to anyone and will follow their rules if things change (my work does the same thing). So props for that! I'm just enrolled in kickboxing so I can't say the price for other memberships but I feel that it's reasonable. Depending on what length of time you sign up for, it's still a good price and my membership is for unlimited classes. It looks like they have a variety of offerings (kickboxing, online HIIT, Muay Thai, BJJ, personal training) so I'm sure if you're looking for something in particular for yourself or your children, you can find it here. It's a very family friendly environment. Only thing is that I wish they had a yoga/stretch/mobility class - I guess they did have Yoga a while back but that isn't being offered right now. I hope they offer one soon - it would be a good balance to the kickboxing. You are free to use the fitness equipment anytime they are open as long as you don't interfere with classes going on. They have medicine balls, plyo boxes, free weights and TRX straps. They also have gloves and wraps for purchase. The bag room gets pretty hot in the summer so hydrate and take breaks if needed so you don't overheat! :) All the coaches have their own style and quirks. I've taken at least one class from Coaches Yoko, Katie and Ryan. Coaches Jesse and Christian I've taken the most classes from due to my work schedule. They are all amazing instructors and you will get a workout (core, legs, upper body and plyometrics are mixed into the bag work). I am always sweating buckets during and after class. Don't be afraid to modify if you need it (some instructors will automatically provide them for you since they know some students are new) - my trial class was with Coach Ryan and I let him know I was getting over a strained shoulder so I stayed away from floor exercises. And don't be intimidated by the other students, we are all at different fitness levels. I like to mix up workouts so I'm never bored - I strength train, take Tabata class 2x a week and run. And I've been a Hawaiian hula dancer for over 10 years so I find mixing things up makes me a better runner and dancer! So I definitely recommend everyone try this place out - if you're new to fitness or looking for something to complement your current routine, this is the place to go! read more

Great gym! Great vibe! Great staff! This establishment promotes respect among students while teaching top notch technique read more

Great place to get an intense workout in! Staff is very welcoming and the coaches are extremely knowledgeable. A lot of other gyms can feel pretty intimidating and the cleanliness can be a bit worrysome, but not here. The vibe here is something else and they truly keep their place very clean and well maintained. Nothing here disappoints and I leave here happy every time. Great gym and team to be apart of! read more

I've never been the biggest fan of gyms but that was before joining POI. This gym has helped me in more ways than one. The atmosphere is amazing, teachers are knowledgeable, the members are welcoming, and it's hands down the cleanest gym I've ever been to. I've been going here for 4 years now and have never looked back and could never see myself leaving POI. The impact this gym has made in my life has been overwhelming and has created life long friendships as well. I will forever be grateful to this gym and if it was possible to give more than a 5 star rating I would. If you're thinking of joining, do it. You won't regret it! read more

wow! this place is great. We bring our 4 year old son to Toddler MMA classes. Coach Brian is great! Our son is really active and struggles with impulse control and sometimes it's hard to find him an activity where he feels successful. The coach is firm and direct but in a way that encourages team work and help with listening and follow directions. My husband and I were so surprised how much our kid listened. Our son enjoys the class and he always says he feels super strong! I am even thinking of participating in some of their adult classes. Thanks so much for welcoming us and helping our child read more

It's my first time doing Muy Thai, and I loved my first class, I'm already thinking of doing Ju Jistsu also! Staff is very welcoming and profesional. I notice they know pretty much every persons name that walks in. That makes it feel very much like a big family. Muy Thai Cru Dona makes the class fun and takes the time to really teach the fundamentals and make sure you're learning as you go. Can't wait to keep coming back and develop my skills! read more

Point of impact is amazing I've learned so much over the past 3 years would recommend highly.

The Point of Impact MMA gym and staff is what helped me get through this "unprecedented" year of chaos. At Point of Impact I feel welcomed, encouraged, and supported and even after several years I continue to feel the good vibes from the owner (Coach Yoko), staff, coaches and other members. It feels like a family. The facility is immaculately kept clean and updated and you can see that they take pride in providing such an environment for members. I come for Cardio Kickboxing, which is only one of many programs they provide. The equipment is kept in great shape and the mats and bags are routinely sanitized. The coaches each have their own style in running their classes, some classes focus on moves, combos and techniques and others mix in high intensity workouts with kickboxing that is similar to a boot camp style. I never get bored of the routines. It may initially feel intimidating, but the coaches and other members do a great job in providing guidance, support and encouragement along the way. My 5 year old daughter is in the Kids MMA and jiu jitsu program and she really enjoys coming to class. There is a good variety of ages and levels. I am so impressed with Coach Bryan and his dedication to teach the kids proper techniques while incorporating discipline and instilling proper manners and social skills. **Bonus: I can take my daughter to her class and take a cardio kickboxing class in the next room at the same time. Perfect for busy Moms! Coach Yoko has built and runs an incredible gym with dedicated staff and coaches. When the Pandemic hit last year they quickly worked out a plan to provide free Zoom classes online to all who were interested and they continue to work hard at providing great service for their members. I am proud to be a member. read more

I visited for the first time today for a bag class. I loved the experience and highly recommend. I've been training in muy thai, bjj and cardio kickboxing for 6 years. The gym itself is very clean with great attention to details that impressed me a lot. Like the box of slippers to wear into the bathroom so you dont go in barefoot, the feminine hygiene products available in the bathroom, free cold water bottles in the heat. They use technology to enhance your work out with a machine that measures body fat and the like and a new system that monitors your heart and calories while you exercise. The instructors are very competent and extremely passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to constantly improve or bring new things in to teach. They constantly challenge the students. I highly recommend. This is one of a few gyms that I felt was run by competent and experienced people but still used technology as an enhancement rather than a crutch to make up for lack of competence. read more

Point of Impact MMA just had their soft opening and a friend of mine introduced me to this studio! We took a beginners' class with Yoko and he definitely worked us out! He was friendly, informative, patient, and overall great instructor. Yoko has tons of experience training professional international fighters but don't let that intimidate you. I would definitely recommend this studio for any beginners that want to wet their feet and try out kickboxing. Like any first time gym goers, I recommend trying it at least for a week! They host classes in the late afternoons and mornings to accommodate the 9-5 working peeps. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. They'll ask you about your overall fitness goals and keep that in mind as they're running their classes. The facility is clean and we'll kept. It's located in a plaza with ample parking as well! read more

First off, let me start by saying WOW! This place is so clean and smells fresh! * cue the Outkast song* Some of the smell at other martial arts gyms... let's just say if you ever trained at a martial arts facility you know what I'm talking about. POIMMA has the 2 rooms for training and a weight area for lifting. They offer a wide range of classes for all ages ranging from kids to adults. I've taken a few of the cardio kickboxing class taught by Yoko and the well educated staff members. Boy did I get put to work! These classes are an hour long and jammed packed with punches, kicks, and calisthenics. It's currently structured under an "open level" class which is does not deter from the workout you get at any level you're at. The kickboxing room has a no shoe policy which I am a fan of. If I'm going to be doing push-ups or sit ups I don't want the dirt you've trekked in with your shoes in my face, ya dig? By the end of class I'm drenched in sweat and ready for the next one. I've been fortunate to observe and train with Coach Yoko for many years. Yoko has worked with kids ages to grown adults. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. The level of professionalism and talent is nothing short of remarkable. Yoko with outstanding credentials in all the martial arts they offer. ****If you've ever been interested in kickboxing or any martial arts, beginner or not, check out Point of Impact Martial Arts and the talented staff can and will get you towards your fitness goals! **** read more

Where do I even begin with POIMMA? I signed up for kickboxing classes in June of 2018 with absolutely no experience. I was out of shape and looking for a challenge and boy did I get one. All of the coaches are patient, friendly, and experienced. The variety in classes and staff keeps it interesting and motivating! Needless to say my skill level and fitness level have improved dramatically as a result of the dedication of the coaches and POIMMA. If you're looking to get your ass kicked, you've come to the right place. (PS: This is a VERY clean and well managed facility.) With that being said, this isn't just like any regular old gym. Point of Impact is a family where everyone is made to feel welcome and accepted. I got more than I asked for when I signed up; I not only get great workouts in, but I get to be apart of a facility that cares about one another. I can't imagine being apart of any other team. read more
