Very disappointing experience with Portland Thai Boxing…read more I wanted to train while I was visiting Portland and PDX Thai Boxing seemed like an awesome spot. I emailed the gym to ask about waivers/drop-in fee but didn't receive a response. I figured I could handle everything when I got the the gym. Once I got to Portland I decided to take the 10am Monday class. After spending the money to take a Lyft to the gym, I get there and no one was at the front desk. Someone pointed me towards one of the coaches and I asked him about a drop-in fee. The coach informed me that PDX Thai Boxing doesn't do drop-in's because of Oregon Covid policies. Apparently I was supposed to sign up for some online portal that would've let me sign up for class. Since I didn't sign up, I couldn't train. The coach informed me that there was a phone number I could call to talk to someone and then asked me to leave the gym (he wasn't mean or disrespectful about it). I called the number and got a voicemail. The coach was doing his job and the policy is this policy, but it sucked to get turned away from the gym. I should've called ahead, that was my mistake. Overall, the whole experience felt really bad. The worst part is that the gym looked really nice! If you're looking to train here make sure you call ahead or you might get turned away.

My kids have grown in so many ways by being a part of this gym and the life lessons and skills they learn on and off the mat here will forever be a part of them. The kids program is hands down the best in the city. We have been a part of two other gyms before and there is no comparison to community, care and students here at 10th planet. Coach Morgan and his team of coaches run a world class kids program that is not only technical but fun. The mix of drills, skills training and sparring with a mix of games in between keeps the kids engaged and happy. The community of parents and kids is solid gold. The caliber of kids that come here bring a sense of skill, passion, and it's like a small family. The engagement from the adults who train here as well as the owners and coaches creates such a family atmosphere. The head coach of the kids program Coach Morgan brings such a high level of jujitsu but most of all really cares for the students and families as if they were his own. The level of patience and care from the coaching team is unmatched. They have Ninja nights where they run games, mini competition brackets, movies, pizza and more games is an absolute blast for the kids but also provides parents a night off. It builds comradery among the kids and allows them to play with each other outside of the gym setting. The gym, the staff, the quality of training and the members make this a truly special place.

Not only is he a consistent student of the game, but he is also a very personable coach.

If you take Armand's class at noon or the evening you're going to be in for a treat. He is very technical but super supportive in the way he mentors students. The class starts with flow rolling, and then drilling the technique of the day. After some sparring, students return to the technique in groups for positional drilling. Class then ends with a team rally shout and more rolling. Facility is amazing and super clean. People are friendly but are competitive in a positive way. Definitely check out Impact Jiujitsu if you're looking to start training.

Ojukan Judo has a great staff that will help you learn this little gem regardless of your age, gender, size or athletic disposition. All the instructors are impossibly patient, kind, and offer a wealth of knowledge that will satisfy whatever your motivation for Judo is. The staff provides skilled instruction, hands on practice, great exercise, and role model being really good humans - which is really central to the spirit of Judo (mutual benefit and welfare) and a great foundation to instill in kids (or anyone of any age really). The fees for Ojukan Judo are a far far better value than you will find with any other martial art. There are no contracts, or hidden costs for belt testing, or other ridiculous fees. This is a not-for profit club that teaches because they love teaching, and have a love for the sport, not for making a profit. I can keep writing on this subject but would rather urge you to give it a try. It is an absolutely no pressure environment, you have nothing to lose and all you have to do is show up. Yes there are times where it can seem difficult, and patience is required as with learning any new skill, but you will love it. All you have to do is be patient with yourself and keep showing up, and I am sure that before too long you will be writing a similar review.
