Job well done!

I started Muy Thai training with Chris about 3 months ago. I was completely new to the martial arts…read moreworld but Chris helped me feel comfortable right off the bat. It was important to me to find someone who could teach me safe and solid foundation work. Chris is just that! He's very patient and willing to explain the technique in a digestible way.

Overall, I feel more capable and confident and I definitely attribute that to Chris and his encouraging training methods. Thank you, Chris!

Bumped into Coach Bryce at a USKO sparring competition a while back where my boy was competing…read more Bryce invited my son and I to visit for some Saturday training and sparring. We took him up on the offer. The experience was great! My boy worked through a fighter's circuit: skipping rope, guided shadowboxing, heavy bag work, pads with Bryce, and partner drills followed by sparring. All the coaches and members are super welcoming. Very chill, family vibe, conducive to learning. No ego. Good times. Legit, highly technical, bad a$$ Muay Thai. My son also has history with one of the other Rising Sons coaches, Coach Yannick (a Peruvian Muay Thai champion), from a previous gym where he trained for a little bit (pre-Covid), so it was rad to re-connect. They have an active squad of killers who are wrecking shop on the local & National scenes. They're also investing in the future by growing a crop of lil' savages who my boy was able to get solid sparring rounds with. Both Bryce and Yannick are really patient, encouraging and positive with the kids. You can tell they understand how to bring them up slowly & build the toughness organically. We've been back a few times on Saturdays, and if we lived closer, would totally have my kid join forces with the Rising Sons crew. Unfortunately we're all the way out in the 626 and it would be too tough to make that trek during the week. That said, if you're anywhere near the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa/Irvine area and you or your kids need/want to get in shape, train to fight, and meet cool people with folks who really know their stuff, Rising Sons Thai Boxing is the place to be. Adults or kids, I highly recommend it!
