The evening classes that I attend are taught by lead instructor, Ray. Although I only train in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Karate classes are also offered here. Onsite gym access is also offered with Gold membership and access to the Orange facility is also offered with the Gold membership. Muay Thai practices typically consist of a warm-up such as jump rope or jumping with conditioning drills in-between, shadow boxing, learning technique by hitting pads, bag drills with punches and kicks and sparring at the last 15 minutes of practice. The workout is great for me as I'm in my 50's and I don't have any aspirations to compete. I attend 2 - 3 times a week, evenings during the week and sometimes Saturday morning. It would be tough to get that high intensity workout by just going to a gym. The staff is is friendly and helpful. My only opportunities for improvement are more clinch training is needed on Monday or Fridays and the mats could be cleaned more frequently. Four stars!

I liked that the class consisted of a lot of partner drills and pad work, with the option of sparring after every class. I signed up on the spot for a twice a week membership. A few months later I tried out the jiujitsu class with coach Paul and got hooked on that as well. My first class we worked on one move then rolled for the rest of class. It was a great workout and no information overload from trying to learn too many techniques in one class. I upgraded to the unlimited membership after that class.

Eventually we decided to enroll my son into private classes with Coach Kerel, in addition to the Kids Group Classes. My children are 11 and 6yrs old. My favorite aspect of having my kids enrolled in the Kids Group classes is the consistency in discipline, and structure. My kiddos attend Tuesdays & Thursdays only but we do like the fact that we also have the option to come Saturday if we wanted. My 11yr old is the one who takes private classes with Coach Kerel. Coach Kerel is amazing with communicating anything related to my son regarding how focused [or not] my son was during each session. Coach is clear of his standards with my son and my son resonates well to his expectations. Kerel is stern yet accommodating to my sons energy levels for each private session which allows my son to reciprocate the same respect. Watching my kiddos over time has been fun to be able to recognize how much growth and progress they have made. And the growth in the relationships they have made through Tiger House. Thank you Tiger House Muay Thai Academy.

My…read moreson is a junior in high school and has attended a few classes here, and the experience has been great. He came home excited after each session, saying Chris showed him techniques and moves he had never learned before, things his school coaches had not covered. It helped him move on to the next levels in wrestling and he made it to CIF this year. With only few classes he attended, I cannot imagine if he had been going here longer he would be a beast out on the mat. What really stands out is the level of experience and success behind the coaching. The coach's daughter is state-ranked in girls wrestling, and I believe his son competes at the college level, which says a lot about the knowledge and dedication they bring to the gym. Most importantly, my son genuinely enjoys going. He is already looking forward to getting back once his track and field season is over, which says a lot. It's clear that the coaching is focused on helping athletes grow, learn new techniques, and build confidence. If your wrestler wants to take their skills to the next level, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

Myself personally having zero martial art experience, found it very difficult to begin and get a hold of everything. Coach Jamar and the students have been incredibly insightful walking me through all of the drills and ensuring everyone gets their reps in properly before moving onto the next. Having both morning and evening classes which start at 6pm is perfect for those 9-5 workers looking to get a good workout in. Since joining, it has been the best decision for my life. I've lost weight, gotten stronger and feel the best Ive ever felt. I look forward to every day inside such an enthusiastic and competitive environment created by a wonderful instructor pushing everyone to be the best they can be. UCS for the win!

This academy is a rare gem for a few reasons, 1. There's an equal balance of Gi & Nogi BJJ. 2. The school also offers Muay Thai, Judo, Strength & Conditioning, and MMA classes. (Rare combo to find) 3. The academy has a great class schedule ranging from AM to PM classes. (Also hard to find) 4. The level of detailed coaching literally from any of the instructors is second to none. 5. Above all, the community is one of the most welcoming and family oriented which is a core value that trickles down from the owner - something I personally look for in a school. Whether you are starting your martial art journey or continuing it, this is a top notch place to do it at.

Follow up thoughts:…read more I stand by my original review, which reflects my personal experience and opinion -- both of which I have a legal right to share. Your public response includes multiple false and inflammatory claims about me, and I feel it's necessary to respond to set the record straight. The incident you referenced occurred during an open mat session in 2018. At the time, I was training under the supervision of one of your coaches, who explicitly asked me not to throw punches so I could work on my defense. I followed that instruction. The training was light, controlled, and respectful. Your later claim that I was recklessly sparring with brand-new students is inaccurate, and to my knowledge, no such concern was raised until you confronted me aggressively and physically escalated the situation. As I described in my review, you grabbed my shirt, followed me into the locker room, and shoved me into the lockers. You then followed me into the parking lot while still in gear. That was not professional or necessary. In my view, it was less about safety and more about control -- and when I didn't back down, it seemed to bruise your massive ego. Regarding the private lessons: I paid you personally for a package, and the sessions were not completed. That's a fact. Whether or not I submitted a formal refund request is irrelevant -- I paid for a service that was not fully delivered. You've now made public accusations that I submitted fake reviews, used vulgar language, and harassed you over several years. I unequivocally deny these claims. They are completely false. The fact that this is only being raised now -- in response to a critical review -- speaks for itself. My review was not harassment. It was protected speech, written to share my personal experience for the benefit of others considering your gym. Your public response -- filled with personal attacks and verifiably false claims -- only underscores the concerns I originally raised.
