He is very patient and great with the kids. A couple things I really like is that the studio is very clean and welcoming. My favorite part is that Professor Neiman is rolling with the kids himself. Not sure if it will always be like that, but so far this place is awesome. Karina at the front desk got us dialed in and is a pleasure to work with. She was answering my text at 9:00 pm. I definitely won't keep that going, but her responsiveness was nice for my "emergency" Highly recommend Neiman Gracie Jiu Jitsu!

Master Han and Master Cha are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly care about each student's progress. They create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable, no matter their skill level. They create a positive atmosphere that makes you want to come back each week. The classes are well-structured, challenging but fun, and we've noticed significant improvements in both our children's' physical fitness, confidence, and mental focus. I also love how they emphasizes discipline, respect, and personal growth--qualities that extend far beyond the studio! Highly recommend!

I've been training with Professor Tony Gonzalez since we were training out of his garage. When he…read moremade the move to Pantheon, he asked me to come with him, and I've been here ever since. For me, it's always been about the BJJ and the community. Tony genuinely cares about his students and their growth, both on and off the mats. We train hard, push each other, but there's no ego. Everyone wants to see each other get better, and it really feels like home. Pantheon is a brand-new facility, so the classes right now are smaller and more intimate, which has been amazing for getting hands-on coaching. The spring-loaded mats are also a game changer -- training and takedowns feel so much better on the body and make the rounds that much more fun. Beyond BJJ, they have MMA, striking, Muay Thai, strength and conditioning, kids and adult programs, and private and group training. Proud to have been here since the garage days and even more excited about what Tony and this community are building. If you've been thinking about starting BJJ, come train with us. You'll feel at home pretty quickly.

He is a very detailed professor and always willing to go above and beyond for his students. For me personally what makes it even better is his faith in Christ! If you're looking to start jiu jitsu this is the place to be ! Hope to see new faces at Pantheon. GOD BLESS!

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!

So I decided to sign up for sessions with Tatum myself, and she taught me a regimen of stretching and corrective exercises which has basically cured my issues. My wife and I both give Tatum the highest recommendation!
