My 13-year-old, who attends the adult class with me, also loves it. The black belt instructor for the adult class, Shaq, is outstanding with his instruction and breaks down the technique so it is easily understood and what purpose it serves. What also made me admire this place is the practicality of their drills geared towards possible real-life encounters. Their schedule is flexible, with multiple days available, and it has that family love/feel to it. If you were like me, checking out several places and undecided, give this one a shot because you won't be disappointed.

I grew up around Muay Thai all my youth- teen- age in a sport academy training for Olympics. I witness many champions growing up. Who trained hard till the end, despite of all injuries, that will be with YOU till the rest of your life. When my son turned 5 , we decided to put him in Muay Thai class, I've searched the town for the best gym, because I want my son to BE and TRAIN with/ like a champion, to learn discipline, respect, focus, defend, and in the same time to be fun. No success Unsatisfied. We just picked what is closer to home. Me thinking I don't wanna drive to far in 3-6pm horrible traffic. The pandemic hit, shutdown! And when finally everything it's opening back our gym was still closed. Then I found Cyclone Muay Thai in Glendale 45 min away, driving in the worst traffic ever!!!! I asked: -Are You Open? Cyclone: -Absolutely! I asked: -Info,Schedule? Cyclone: -Unlimited! -on may way All the other gyms offer 3 days /week practice witch is limiting my chances to make it at all 3. I was very happy to hear that at Cyclone we can practice 5 days a week. The gym it's very clean organized, very spacious well ventilated, very very friendly very welcoming , like home. And I'm honored to be part of the Cyclone Family. At the moment you walk in , it's very obvious the trainers are well gifted with determination! No Competition here. Me watching the first kids class in training my jaw dropped.... The progress (6mo) that I watch in my 8 yo Son it's unbelievable, he got promoted in Muay Thai(white/purple arm band) Jiu Jitsu (first stripe) He was so happy that he couldn't fall a sleep! He said that was the best surprises ever! And he adores his coach Taylor, best human ever. His schooling improved from bad to excellent! He is on top of the class as an exemplar! The progress I MADE it's unbelievable, after a traumatic surgery on my pectoral muscle, I couldn't move my arm, now I do a 100 onetwo's, 50 push-ups And 100 kicks!!!!!! AMAZING!!!! Training at Cyclone woke up in me a worrier that was defeated, kneeling in fear to desperation, destitute in spirit and poor in resistance! Now I stand Stronger then ever because We train hard, we get promoted , encouraged, motivated , evaluated, disciplined , improving the weakness, strengthening the fighter spirit and physically building resistance! I don't have enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation. Thank you Knight Family

We found Legendary Martial Arts shortly…read moreafter the dojo she had been training at switched to Japanese Jiu Jitsu and that style wasn't match for my daughter. I was devastated but my friends told me Legendary is an awesome place and to try it out. I am so glad I took their advice because from the very beginning they have worked with my daughter and challenged her (in good ways). I have seen my daughter's confidence grow and she loves all of the instructors. I love that they not only teach karate expect the kids to be respectful and that the preach team work. Those are exactly what I was looking for when we decided to try another karate studio. We have also enjoyed the bully prevention workshops (which my daughter uses in school now) and other activities that they host on a regular basis. I also like that my daughter can attend multiple times a week and it gives her a positive environment to grow and thrive in. They also have adult karate (which I often consider but haven't made the jump yet), but if you are looking for a karate home - you should definitely give Legendary a try.
