Wanted to leave a review for Rashad and Crystal because they have quite literally changed my entire…read morelife this year. I attended my first beginner's class in December 2023 (it's now August 2024 when I'm writing this review), and I was probably in the worst shape of my life when I began. I blame Covid/changing to a WFH job/30's metabolism changes blah blah blah, but whatever. I was happy to keep blaming my excuses. And I was so nervous to take a class and move my body in front of other people... I had literally never taken an exercise class of any kind before. But when I say that first class was the most welcoming, encouraging, fun, and yes-HARD-experience I've ever had... I mean it. It was the perfect balance of everything I needed to get me to come back. I've never enjoyed exercising, it's always been something I dread. But Rashad and Crystal know what they're doing, and they genuinely want to help you feel stronger in your body. I never feel uncomfortable or self-conscious in any way in their classes, only encouraged and motivated. I've now lost 23 pounds (!) in the past 8 months (also with the help of a calorie deficit I started 3 months ago), and I feel actual muscle and strength that I've never felt before in my life, even at my "thinnest." I'm now straight up addicted to these classes. I will only miss one if life requires me to, and I feel genuinely upset when I do! They have been such a game changer for my mental health, too. Whatever your goals are -- weight loss, cardio and strengthening , stress release, or just a killer workout with an amazing community -- you'll find it here. I feel so blessed to have found them. THANK YOU F&F!!!

The classes focus on technique and fitness, so you're not sparring or fighting anyone. Mauricio, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and sweet, which makes the whole experience even better. I've been attending consistently and have already noticed a positive shift in how I feel about my body. Plus, it's such a great way to release any aggression! There's nothing like the satisfying thud of a solid punch on the bag.

The Yard Muay Thai

I dropped in twice. First time I didn't stay for any training as the instructor said he wouldn't be…read moreinvolved that day. He said that was typical for weekends. Came back on a weekday and stayed for training... he was barely involved in training that day. I understand how someone might think he is rude but I wouldn't go that far, really he just comes off as checked-out and not interested in his gym / business. The session is about 1/3rd combat sport related. The other 2/3rds is light cardio drills you can do in your own home. The other attendees are more willing to help and with that I would say this place serves more of a sparring club than a serious training gym.

The Yard and Yoshi are excellent. This review will hopefully be helpful as an update to how class…read moreis run (since class has changed a little). First my background: I've trained Muay Thai for two years (first time was in April of 2022). I've trained at 7 gyms: FLMT (Florida Muay Thai , OC MT, Team Oyama, Classic Fight Team, Rising Suns Thai Boxing, NELA Combat Fitness, and Boxing Works. My home gym for the last year was Boxing Works under the instruction of Coach Bryan Popejoy, where I trained 3-4 days a week and did one on ones once a week for about 3 month. I would've stayed there however I recently moved to Northeast LA (Highland Park) and the drive to Torrence for BW was too much (about an hour to an hour and a half drive there and 40 minutes on the way home). Whereas the Yard is a 6-minute drive from me with ample sessions. Second, class style: Classes are Monday through Friday: 8-9:30, 10-11:30, 4-5:30, and 6-7:30pm and then two sparring classes on Saturday from 9-10:30 and 11-12:30. As far as I'm aware, Yoshi teaches each class and he does an excellent job. At other gyms, I feel much more advanced then I do at the Yard. Lots of basic bad habits that I got into are getting fine-tuned and corrected. A typical class is organized in four parts: (1) Cardio: A five minute round of jump ropes and then a 30 minute cardio session where we jog, sprint, do knees, teep across the mats. (2) Bagwork We then do several rounds of shadow boxing where Yoshi will make small adjustments to our form. From there, we all go on the heavy bags and practice whatever we want to work on for several rounds while Yoshi works one on one with us on pad/mitwork. This is where I think the Yard shines. If you go to a class with few students, you are essentially getting a free one on one. When you're not working one on one with Yoshi, you are working the bag. (3): Drills/Sparring From there, we work on a specific technique through partner drills and then light technical sparring. Yoshi is very attentive as he goes around and makes adjustments and suggestions. On Fridays the technique is clinch focused; which is really great. Many gyms in Southern California lack emphasis on the clinch. (4): Burnout/core work: We end with 3 minutes of ab/core work and then a minute plank. Sometimes we will burnout with skip knees on the bag. Overall: An excellent choice. I can't speak to how it would be for a beginner, as I came with two-years of experience. I imagine it would be a great place to start. Potential cons: I do not see people doing drills on thai pads (where one partner holds pads and the other hits). Typically, a Muay Thai class is 1 hour. At the Yard, it is 1.5 hours. Which means its a little more demanding. At this point, I cannot train every day even if my schedule allowed it because my body and cardio is just too shot. I imagine with time, that'll change.

My friend and I came in for our free trial class I'm fairly new to Muay Thai and she's has 5 years…read moreof training under her belt. The gym knew both of these things going in. I understand that pad conditioning is a real and valuable part of Muay Thai training, coaches will hold or hit pads to build a fighter's tolerance to impact, sharpen reflexes, and simulate the unpredictability of a real exchange. That's a legitimate, time-tested method, and I went in expecting and respecting that this sport involves contact. What happened here wasn't that. Within the first 30 seconds of class, during the cardio warm-up jog, before any pad work, drills, or instruction had even started, the instructor came up behind my friend and struck her on the back with a pad, completely unprovoked and with no warning, no context, and no setup that this was a conditioning exercise. She turned around and calmly told him not to hit her like that. His response was to grab his things, walk out, get in his car, and drive off. He never came back. He left a room full of students, including a near-complete beginner with no instructor for the rest of class. Sucker-hitting someone from behind during a warm-up jog isn't conditioning, it's just catching someone off guard, and walking out when she objected isn't discipline, it's a tantrum. Another staff member stepped in and taught the rest of class, and she later texted me offering me a complimentary private training session with her to apologize for such a poor experience. I accepted as I wanted to give her a second chance and take advantage of an opportunity to hone my skills. A few weeks later, when I showed up to the session after confirming with her the day before, I found out she had forgotten about it, and was more than a half an hour away. I felt completely disrespected as I'd left work early, driven over, and reserved time for her to make amends for the gym's previous mistake. It was silly of me to give this establishment a second chance as once again my time was disrespected and wasted by unprofessional behavior. What bothers me most is what an experience like this does to someone's first impression of the sport. Muay Thai should be accessible to everyone as it's a discipline built on technique, respect, and gradual trust between student and coach, not intimidation. Experiences like this that can quietly push people away from a sport before they ever get the chance to actually learn it. That's a real loss, because this sport has so much to offer when it's taught well. I have been encouraging other women, and the LA Muay Thai community at large, especially beginners, to not give this place your time or money.

We live a few cities away... And there's a bjj gym right down the street from our neighborhood and…read moreeven a few more in between, BUT Ukiyo is our "home." Before my wife and I ever got pregnant, we always knew our little one would be in bjj. Fast forward to present day, our little girl is now 4yo, and we found our home gym here. Right away we immediately connected with Raf and Mickey. They are the sweetest people. And they made our little girl and us feel safe and right at home. We feel so comfortable here and can't help but it feel that our family circle just got bigger. For myself, I have been in and out of bjj for the last 15 years and really haven't stepped on the mat for the last 6-7 years. My wife was actually the one that found this wonderful place from a Facebook post and after reaching out and meeting R&M, we knew that it was only right this is where I was going to pick up where I left off and step back into my jiu jitsu journey. 15 years ago, I started in a gi, went into more no-gi, and now come full circle back into the gi and tradition. The dojo itself is beautiful and all the adult students we've met are also so welcoming. Mickey's taste def shows in the overall aesthetics and is on point holding things behind the scenes and planning all the fun events. Raf's teachings are very clear, concise and have real depth which you definitely can see comes from a place of passion and long love and history with the art. It is an honor to be a student under him. The other kids in the younger classes are all so good with our baby girl. After her first class, she couldn't stop talking about all her new "friends." The modest size of the dojo and number of students encourages a more intimate learning enviroment and greater level of intimacy and respect. There is no ego here. Everyone and the overall energy here is so wholesome and feels more about cultivating the art, tradition well as a community. Needless to say, we are so happy to have found family in Ukiyo Academy. OSS! p.s. we love this place!

Kamp Kako

From the very beginning Ryan makes sure everyone feels comfortable by welcoming everyone as they walk through the door. Then he continues to go around throughout the workouts to make sure your form is correct and answer any questions. As a beginner it was greatly appreciated. You can expect to split into little groups but have no fear as everyone is very friendly and supportive. I highly recommend it for anyone at any fitness level looking for a great workout with an amazing leader.

Ryan and his team participate in the workout and are constantly checking everyone's form. From the team to the other people in the class, everyone is friendly and engaging. We always break up into groups which helps you get to know other people in the class. I'm a bit shy and socially awkward so helps lessen my nerves! I started my lifting journey in 2020. Before lifting I did a lot of cardio so sometimes, my workouts can get stale since I have a high endurance. Going to Kamp Kato on Saturday keeps me on my toes, allows me to learn new workouts and make new friends! Whether you're currently with a trainer or taking classes elsewhere, Kamp Kato is a must-try!

Espada Boxing

Coach Tony is grrrreat! ;)…read more I've been going to Coach Tony's boxing classes once a week for the first 2 months, and now going 2x/week. Even going only once a week, I saw strength and endurance improvements during the 4th class. His classes are fun and it's set up so that he can give you one-on-one guidance in the ring, even if you have zero experience (like me). He'll train you at your pace to learn more combos and moves with each class. The entire class itself is a great workout with practice in the ring and bags, and floor/circuit training with varying exercises using weights, TRX, battle ropes, kettle-bells, medicine balls, etc. Members/students are also wonderful people as we encourage each other to keep going. Definitely give it a try. First class is FREE!

When I moved to LA, I had trouble finding the right gym; either the trainers were a bit unenthusiastic, or the gym itself wasn't that great. But - I'm so lucky to have found Coach Tony and this gym! Coach Tony's been an awesome trainer; great energy and tons of patience for me. I've been making great strides in getting back into shape, and I recommend anybody in the area searching for a gym to try this place out. As somebody who hates cardio, boxing is a great way to get your cardio in without it feeling like work.

I called and set up an appointment with a trainer, and it turned out to be Armando. He asked me what I was looking for, which, for me, was gaining strength and muscle. Right off the bat in my intake meeting, he knew what to target. There are a variety of workouts, and no session is ever the same. I've also had the pleasure of training with his partner Cat, and she is amazing as well. They both do a great job of explaining the purpose of each exercise and are very patient with beginners. I've been going there for 4 months and will continue to do so. In addition, the gym is very clean and a comfortable place to work out.
