Fight Syndicate hands down is the best spot to train in Big Bear. I was completely uneducated or…read moreknew anything about Jiujitsu but wanted my son to try it. Coach Red let my son participate even tho he was a little younger than the class age range. The first class was a bit of a shock for my son never doing anything like that and there were some tears. Coach Red was understanding and handled him well while keeping an authoritative position which ALL kids need. My son asked to go back and we have been at fight syndicate for about a year and a half. My younger son watched for about 8 months and joined in as well at 4 year old with coaches approval. My mind is continually blown by the growth and strength I see in both my boys. We have pointed multiple friends to fight syndicate because they are the best, hands down. I constantly tell people jujitsu is the best sport and everyone should put their kid in it. It's not always easy but the skills they learn are life long skills, not temporary. Big Bear is luckily to have coach Red and Becca. They pour so much into the kids. Their skill and knowledge is beyond anyone else in our town and we are lucky they are here and our kids get to learn from them. On top of that they are rad and good people. People you want your kids around when it comes to a learning a new sport. We are also fortunate that we homeschool and can use our charter funds for our monthly membership at fight syndicate as they are on our vendor list. We love and appreciate both of them that we chose to use our funds the last 3 months of school even tho we knew it was unlikely we'd be making it during that time due to baseball and other things going on in our life. But we wanted those funds going to them because we believe in their business. Take your kids, you won't regret it!

(Update to your VERY long reply of making excuses on Google review. Even if Brian has been coaching…read morefor 30 years doesn't make him the best coach. And just because you coach doesn't make you the best coach. Yes it does matter putting him in his 1st bout with someone that has 4 bouts, even USA Boxing said that wasn't a good choice. So stop blaming my son when Brian made a bad choice by building my son up by making him seem more talented to USA Boxing and by matching him with someone more experienced. That's why the coach assistant you had and several people left your place already. I was told by someone that left your place; that Brian wasn't the best Coach, his classes were boring and he didn't teach new things. Even if Brian volunteered his time, he's still affiliated with your place). My son's Ex-boxing coach Brian put my son in his 1st Amateur bout with a kid that already had 4 bouts with USA Boxing? (The worst thing you could do). Brian with Bear Mountain Boxing Team is very irresponsible for doing this and thanks to Brian my son has no interest in Boxing anymore. Then Ryan (Red) sits there and blames my son Carlo for not winning the fight by saying he was socializing, scarfing down junk food and not conditioning? Ryan may be good at what he does but that doesn't make him a good coach. He's been cocky and rude when I talk to him from the moment I met him. Just like the lady said with USA Boxing, every coach thinks they are the best? I know several people that have left Fight Syndicate because of what happened, including my son's best friend, the boxing assistant that was there and his son. (Actually, this gives my son time to enjoy his life by staying active in other ways and not being tied down with an irresponsible coach. I believe Brian was doing all of this to make himself look good and not considering the damage he caused to my son). That's why any future activities for my son and myself will only be at HATC (High Alpine Training Center).

How are you going to take a break and leave my child practicing by himself while you're outside smoking ! Not happy ! Also be careful when signing your child up I called and spoke with Josh and he informed me the price of $140.00 a month never mentioned a $50.00 registration fee that was the first issue I had then never told us that we needed to buy gloves and wraps! So on his first day we had no choice but to pay more and purchase wraps from the place and then I was told the gloves would be $60 when in fact it was $75.00 ! I would have expected all of this info to be provided when I called and inquired about the class and I asked what was needed like what does he wear etc . That would have been a good time for them to say also on top of the $140 there is a registration fee and he needs to have gloves and wraps to participate! Also the way they go about things like combining multiple age groups into one class is a bit intimidating to a 8 year old. This place treats you like a number and not a person in my opinion. You also have to hound the owner to provide you with an invoice . Otherwise you will get billed all together if not. Another parent mentioned how he had to constantly remind the owner to bill him and then out of nowhere got billed for a total of three months worth of classes . I'm sorry but if I'm paying business I should not have to remind them to bill me on time.

I never played sports because I didn't think I'd be good at any of them, and I never enjoyed working out. I originally joined because I simply wanted to be more active and find something fun to do. I never imagined I would completely fall in love with Muay Thai. Over the past year and a half, this gym has given me so much more than just a workout. I've made amazing friends, gained confidence, and found a community that genuinely feels like family. Everyone here is welcoming, respectful, and supportive, no matter your experience level. The Krus are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. They truly care about helping every student improve while creating a positive environment where everyone can succeed. A year and a half later, Heart and Pride has become my second home. It's a place I look forward to coming to every week, and I honestly can't imagine my life without it. If you're thinking about trying Muay Thai--even if you've never been athletic or played sports before--don't hesitate. This gym has completely changed my life, and I'm so grateful to be part of the Heart and Pride family.
