I could see our kids building confidence, even as beginners to these martial arts. I know "jiu jitsu" and "kickboxing" might be intimidating terms, but we found Easton is a place people come to improve themselves and experience community.

People there are friendly and welcoming but still serious about getting better, they take their training seriously but it's a relaxed vibe. The instructors are wonderful, very professional yet personable. High level techniques being shared here. With soo much experience on the mats you have lots of different Jiu-Jitsu styles to choose from. The amenities are exceptional. Nice clean bathrooms, changing rooms and showers. The front desk people are always smiling and helpful when you come in the door. While I haven't gotten to train the striking classes as I primarily train Jiu-Jitsu , they look like a lot of fun and they are training very hard with solid technique. They have lots of quality mat spaces for grappling and striking as well as workout equipment. There are many classes for people to choose from. Giving the most flexibility I have ever seen at a gym. Add in the elevation and the location of a beautiful mountain city, this is one of the best places to train in the country. I highly recommend the gym.

I have been part of Tran's martial arts for over five years (with two longer breaks when I had my…read morechildren) and it has literally transformed my life. Not only am I more fit now at age 40 then I was at age 30. It is fun, it is challenging and rewarding mentally, emotionally and physically. I started when I was in a pretty bad physical condition and with the support to Master Tran, his crew and all the other members I have become fit. For the first time in my life did I find a regular work out that keeps my attention and that is FUN! Time flies by. The constant encouragement during class from instructors and persons I team up with makes me feel great. I get a super work out, and I leave feeling less stressed and calm. I'm clearly a better mom and wife after I work out at Trans. I am the type who loves skiing, tennis and other similar activities that keeps my mind engaged - the Muay Thai kickboxing is wonderful. It's almost meditative. I first started when I was studying for the bar exam, and this was the only time during the week that my mind was not stressing or thinking about legal problems. I often get bored going to regular gyms, or feel frustrated because I can't do certain work out or dance moves. This is the first time in many many years that I found a sport so fun, engaging, supportive and challenging that I kept to a schedule of working out 2-3 times a week! And I always felt respected for whatever level I'm at. People who are super fit as well as people who haven't worked out in years are equally welcomed. I'm from Sweden and we always go by first name, so in the beginning it was a bit unusual for me to get used to the "mam" or "sir" or to bow. But I got used to it quickly and it's really a matter of showing respect. There isn't a lot of formalities otherwise. It's a wonderful fitness and martial arts studio. Come and try it!

I've trained in Kickboxing and Muay Thai off and on for almost 10 years and I have never seen a Coach love what they do as much as Erin! Anyone can teach something, but not just anyone can COACH. A coach has to LOVE the sport, and have an obsession with studying the sport... competing experience is always a plus too... Erin simply has it all. You can literally feel his love for the sport, and his students , radiate as he coaches. Jen and Sam are some more great people you will see here and are truly a foundation of the gym as well. You will immediately feel at home, Jen and Sam have such a Papa and Mama Bear spirit. As if the coaching wasn't already enough, you couldn't meet better gym managers/owners than Jen and Sam. I'm a Personal Trainer, so I have been through dozens and dozens of gyms ....and even though this is a fighting gym, there is absolutely no ego and no egos tolerated and these two make sure to keep it that way! Not to be a corn-dog but I am truly grateful I have found this gym! I could go on and on!

I can't say enough good things about Jordan, Caleb, Thomas, Ryan and Riley. All the other coaches seem great too, but those are the ones I and my son interacted with the most. My teenager really enjoyed the classes--learning to push himself, develop new skills, and eventually, as he got into the adult classes, sparing. I wasn't interested in sparing or rising the ranks--which there is a lot of opportunity to do at McMahon. For me, however, it was more about physical fitness and trying something out of my comfort zone, and I was welcomed just the same. I really appreciate that they take students at whatever place they are and foster an environment open to all varieties of goals and abilities. There is also a growing women's group that's very welcoming and inclusive. Overall, a great place!

I have trained at numerous academies in my life and I can say confidently that Kru Rad and the growing coaching staff are focused on skill development as well as that community vibe that keeps me coming back. For all of my advancement tests, I have fallen outside the scheduled testing period. There has never been an issue with scheduling a private test. It has allowed me to relax about preparation, going at my pace to ensure I am developing my skills. This community extends beyond the four walls of the gym.

If you're looking to start out, are returning from years away, or are looking for a competitive gym to get you ready for fights, you can't do better than RAD Muay Thai and BJJ.

The Sifu at this school charges month-to-month and charges significantly less than other programs. Don't believe me? Check the numbers here and other places. He is also interested in teaching the art and philosophies of Kung Fu. Not teaching you how to beat people up. I actually had a school tell me I would be able to pummel people in a couple months.

He is compassionate, knows how to meet his students where they are at, and is a great guide and motivator, seeming to know exactly where your limitations are and how to help you understand your own body, when to push and when to rest. As a side benefit, I am comfortable in a bikini. I am grateful to have an unexpected extended family of brothers and sisters who come from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences and yet we all are in this life and practice together. I am a calmer, more balanced and centered person and I attribute much of this to my martial arts practice at Boulder Kung Fu.
