This gym recently announced a financial program to help struggling individuals, and requested…read moredonations. As someone who asked for leniency in a time of struggle, I'd like share my upsetting experience. While attending this gym, I was struggling through abuse from men. I was also struggling to make ends meet, and I just wanted a place to put my head down and work. I was not left alone. Multiple fighters at this gym mocked and made fun of me in front of other members at this gym. I heavily avoided interaction. While sitting in my car on the side of the freeway, I texted and asked; "Could I possibly pause billing and attending for a two week period and then resume?" The response from the gym owner was; "Our system doesn't hold for less than a month." Luckily, God provided and my ex boyfriend offered to pay $200 for me to keep training. (That's the monthly rate.) I will provide a screenshot of this conversation. I asked in person to a kind instructor, and he told me that sounded very reasonable. There are a couple people at this gym that are genuine. After leaving a comment on a recent instagram post relating to this GuardianGym, I was contacted by the owner. (This post was requesting donations for those struggling financially.) She attempted to apologize, and in the same breath she asked for the deletion of my comment. Also while apologizing, she was attempting to blame and deflect the responsibility that she denied my request for a freeze. She then deleted my comment herself. This inspired me to share my experience. I want to add that in the screenshot she asked for me to add my card on file. I added my card. As seen, she later reached out to me to say "my card" was declining. She was instead attempting to charge my ex boyfriend's card, as mine ended in 3899. When opportunity to be rude presented itself, it was taken. I also experienced rude interactions with her daughter who is the 'pretty blonde girl' who works the front desk referenced in an honest review below.

I have had visited many schools before and have had the honor of being taught by some very good instructors. That said. Prof. Peter does a great job running his classes and instructing his students. It is well organized from beginning to end and he is actively involved during the entire class. Starts on time and no wasted time. During my drop-in, we were going over the Osoto Gari takedown (a technique I have been taught many times by Judo blackbelts). Prof. Peter provided excellent and balanced detail on the technique, as it was a beginner/intermediate class, careful not too overwhelm the students. Highly recommend checking this school out. Clean facilities, great instruction and good vibes. Keep up the good work Prof. Peter! PS. Watch out for a former D1 All-American wrestler posing as a 4 stripe white belt. What he lacks in BJJ technique he overwhelmingly makes up for in grappling IQ and will crush higher belts. Sorry bud, but you need some color on your waist.

We did a lot of research before we chose Easton BJJ based on its wonderful reviews. We're writing…read morethis to add yet another one! Our boy is initially shy with kids he doesn't know. Frankly, he used to be scared to try new things, too. We realized that he stood to benefit from martial arts training in so many ways: In addition to stepping out of his comfort zone and taking chances, he could get good exercise and learn to defend himself. He gets all of that and so much more at Easton BJJ. It sounds cliché, but EVERYONE who works at Easton is warm, inviting, inclusive and supportive. We worked with Coach Daniel to set up our first class. Despite the most amazing efforts by him, Professor Nick, and Coach Tala, he was too scared to get onto the mat and participate in the class. We anticipated this and allowed him to just observe since it was the first time he had seen the class. It took some coaxing, but we got him back to Easton for a second class. The incredible coaches kept trying to get him comfortable and buddy up with him, but without pressure. He cried. A lot. By his third or fourth class, he loved Jiu Jitsu and wanted to know how soon he could come back. Now we come to class at least twice a week. Our son works hard, spars with lots of different partners (some of whom are bigger than he is,) and actively engages with his teammates and coaches. He is proud to earn stripes because of his dedication and progress. His personal growth outside of the gym in just a few months was remarkable. His confidence, his ability to focus, his respect for himself and others, and his willingness to try new things have all grown at an amazing pace. These traits come from what happens on the mat, and they are shaping his character. And I know that if/when he gets into a physical confrontation, he will be confident, get on top of his opponent, and stay on top! Classes are fun, and the coaches ensure that the kids work hard and grow. The kids learn moves and spar, but there is a lot of emphasis on principles. Weekly mat-chat is a discussion that install important values like respect, sportsmanship, and emotions. At this point, Easton BJJ is very much a part of our kid's identity. He loves it so much that we had his 6th birthday party there and all of the kids had a blast. Many thanks to Coach Teddy for leading an incredible party filled with games, fun, and learning! Lastly, what really makes Easton BJJ is the people. Professor Nick, Coach Daniel, Coach Alisha, Coach Chris, Coach Teddy and Coach Taylor are so good at what they do, and our guy loves them! Each of them knows every kid by name and skill level. The individual attention and support they give kids who need it is heart-warming, and it WORKS! They help kids who get a little bruise or are having a bad day stay on the mat and get back into class. They not only know Jiu Jitsu, they know children, too. We simply cannot thank you enough for providing a safe, fun, and exciting environment for our kid to learn and develop. What the amazing coaches and staff have built at Easton BJJ is hard to describe, but I encourage you to try it--you will love what they're doing there, and so will your kid!

After being a member here for almost 2 years I have decided to update my review…read more I left because I feel like I have outgrown this gym. The coaches that I liked no longer work there so there was no need for me to be there anymore... I have found a new Muay Thai gym that I am very happy with, and that has also inspired me to update my review. My review for the coaches is specifically for the Adult Muay Thai program. Reasons for Stars: Front Desk: The front desk staff member is amazing. She will definitely make you smile no matter what. Prices: They are cheaper than most other gyms, especially if you start taking private classes. Coaches that are not mentioned below: They have coaches that are great, funny, and helpful and will give you a good workout. Members: The members that go there are pretty great and fun to talk to. No one is there to win a belt and they are very respectful fighters. I've been to other gyms where I have been terrified to spar people or partner with someone because I am worried that they will knock me out. No big egos here, except maybe some of the coaches. Reasons for Lost stars: Coaches: There are certain coaches there that have very bad attitudes. They are either in a bad mood and like to show it or just feel like insulting you for no reason. There is A LOT I can say about certain coaches, but I won't go on for sake of length. There are other coaches that are very talented in Muay Thai fighting, but as instructors, talk WAY too much and don't let you actually get a work out because they spend the whole time talking. Classes and class schedules: The advanced class is from 7-8:30 which is kinda late for someone that works really early in the morning. There are also a lot of beginners that jump in the advanced class that shouldn't be there. It happens a lot. I can't blame them though because the only other class in the evening is at 5:00 which is the beginner and its hard to get to. They also don't do enough sparring in my opinion. They said they were going to start sparring classes on Thursday nights but that didn't seem to happen. Cancellation: I got charged a 1 month cancelation fee instead of just having a membership for an extra 30 day once I gave notice. The owner said "The 30 day notice a.k.a. A one month cancellation fee is always scheduled for the day the account officially closes" and tried to argue that the cancelation fee and the 30 day notice are the same exact thing... In my history at every single gym I've ever been to, you give a 30 day notice, and you either roll over to another pay period but during that 30 days you have access to the gym. A 30 day notice and a cancellation fee are NOT the same. So expect a fee when you cancel, not just giving a notice...If you want the words exactly from their contract it says "If you have fulfilled the "initial period" of your membership contract, and your membership is currently month-to-month, only a 30 days notice applies as a membership cancellation (one month cancellation)." So take the BS statement with a grain of salt as well... If they would have told me flat out that I would have had a cancellation fee, and not try to be sneaky with their wording then I wouldn't have been as upset. Reasons I've outgrown: I don't think this gym does enough sparring. I also don't think there are enough women at the gym to spar with. The master coach is not in town a lot so its hard to get a fight if you are not one of the coaches. Personally, I think it's a good starter gym, but if you want to grow beyond that I am not really sure if its possible. But who knows. To each their own.

From beginner to expert, young or old, the Sanctuary is where you should train…read more In the adult classes, the upper belts welcome new members. They help beginners develop skills to progress their jiu-jitsu and offer the more seasoned practitioner a competitive match. There's a great atmosphere of camaraderie among students, led by head coaches Ben and Charlee. Both head coaches have distinct pedigrees of competition, Coach Charlee was a member of the Olympic Judo team and offers basic to advanced Judo instruction in adult and kids classes. Coach Ben has great grappling experience, as a former MMA fighter he combines Judo, wrestling and jiu-jitsu techniques to provide students with a well rounded grappling game. The kids classes are also led by Coach Charlee and Ben with assistance of upper belts from the adult class. Kids classes are great for developing a child's confidence, discipline and mobility. The gym setting is well lit and set on a floating floor to help aid with throws. The mats and surrounding areas are thoroughly cleaned after each class. Most of the adults who train here have their children train here too. This creates a fun, family atmosphere for everyone as we get to watch our kids grow, befriend and compete with one another. For me, it has become less a gym and more a tribe. Come find out what you've been missing and join The Sanctuary!

It was following a surgery I had that a surgeon cleared me to return to work after. The "manager" Anne, was apparently offended by my passion to return to work and get the appropriate "board members" the surgical clearance I had, so therefore I should be disallowed from taking classes I literally helped make up? It doesn't make sense to me and I have been asking for months for an explanation bc I loyally and passionately gave Palango hours of my day almost everyday, and often with literally nothing in return (working for free is a whole 'nother story, but not the reason they EARNED a one star review). I could elaborate for ages, but I'm sure you get it. My advice? If you want to fall in love with your workouts, with a community... never ever consider working for these people- they may let you have it. A workout and community you love. But they also may take it away and ban you from even saying goodbye to people you've known almost daily for a decade with no consideration and no explanation. I've been just starting to share and they have been desperately removing my comments and reviews. Ask yourself, why? Why don't they want you to know? Shame on them and YOU ARE WORTH IT.

I trained at Core a few years ago. Since then, I've trained extensively in muay thai and have…read morerecently started training in krav maga. Of all of the schools I've trained at in New York, San Francisco and even Thailand, I never got the same level of attention that I did at Core. In fact, I probably have them to thank every time I get complimented on my technique because if it wasn't for Eric and Erinn's eye for detail, I would not be where I am today. Too many gyms let students slide in technique in favor of pushing people through ranks or letting people just wail on bags. But that is not the Core way, not at all. Eric has a very unique gift for giving you an amazing workout while also really teaching you what to do. You won't just learn how to punch - you'll learn why you punch this way as opposed to that way, why you kick like this instead of like that. Really, the lessons I learned at Core have been invaluable. Also, Eric and Erinn are awesome people. They really care about their students and have a good time with the classes. If you're looking to learn martial arts and get in fantastic shape in a friendly, noncompetitive environment, Core should be your first stop.
