    I really like the kickboxing classes here. I agree that it is a no frills gym and that's what I love about it. You come here to work and work you do. Jacobe is great to train with in terms of a challenge. You know you've worked out after just an hour. I'm not sure of the monthly cost as I believe their prices changed in the last few months, but you can drop in and pay per class. If you're looking to mix up your workouts, I highly recommend Defiant.

    Kids class - try it out

    Marcos Bonilla and Defiant are amazing. My brother -in-law suffers from a very rare condition called marinesco-sjögren. A result of which is muscular degradation. Marcos gave him a private session, and was so accommodating and compassionate. Thanks Defiant!

    Sparring!!!

    My friend and I came in for our free trial class I'm fairly new to Muay Thai and she's has 5 years…read moreof training under her belt. The gym knew both of these things going in. I understand that pad conditioning is a real and valuable part of Muay Thai training, coaches will hold or hit pads to build a fighter's tolerance to impact, sharpen reflexes, and simulate the unpredictability of a real exchange. That's a legitimate, time-tested method, and I went in expecting and respecting that this sport involves contact. What happened here wasn't that. Within the first 30 seconds of class, during the cardio warm-up jog, before any pad work, drills, or instruction had even started, the instructor came up behind my friend and struck her on the back with a pad, completely unprovoked and with no warning, no context, and no setup that this was a conditioning exercise. She turned around and calmly told him not to hit her like that. His response was to grab his things, walk out, get in his car, and drive off. He never came back. He left a room full of students, including a near-complete beginner with no instructor for the rest of class. Sucker-hitting someone from behind during a warm-up jog isn't conditioning, it's just catching someone off guard, and walking out when she objected isn't discipline, it's a tantrum. Another staff member stepped in and taught the rest of class, and she later texted me offering me a complimentary private training session with her to apologize for such a poor experience. I accepted as I wanted to give her a second chance and take advantage of an opportunity to hone my skills. A few weeks later, when I showed up to the session after confirming with her the day before, I found out she had forgotten about it, and was more than a half an hour away. I felt completely disrespected as I'd left work early, driven over, and reserved time for her to make amends for the gym's previous mistake. It was silly of me to give this establishment a second chance as once again my time was disrespected and wasted by unprofessional behavior. What bothers me most is what an experience like this does to someone's first impression of the sport. Muay Thai should be accessible to everyone as it's a discipline built on technique, respect, and gradual trust between student and coach, not intimidation. Experiences like this that can quietly push people away from a sport before they ever get the chance to actually learn it. That's a real loss, because this sport has so much to offer when it's taught well. I have been encouraging other women, and the LA Muay Thai community at large, especially beginners, to not give this place your time or money.

    The most non-commercial real deal Muay Thai kickboxing facility. In a male dominated sport I am so…read moreimpressed with the awareness of all Instructors with their students within the four walls of class & how they partner students up appropriately by skill level,it's mostly male dominated, but everyone treats you with the upmost respect, including holding you accountable to ensure that you give your All even as a female. I have never felt more comfortable and empowered in my life: I'm used to coach Ariel, who is amazing, and I dare to venture out to and today had Coach ED IN GLENDALE, when I arrived, I thought maybe I was in an advanced class and Coach Simmy held me accountable to believing in myself that I belonged in that class most importantly that I was capable. I don't know if it's the mission statement. I don't know if it's the core or business objectives of MTK, but the blueprint is clear from their NOHO location to Glendale. WINNERS WIN It takes a lot to impress me. I pay money not only to learn the skill, i you pay for the experience. Worth every penny. And you SWEAT LIKE A MUTHA KICKER! lol

    Started training here almost 3 years ago and really didn't know what I was in for. It was clear…read morefrom jump that everyone, coaches and students, takes their training very seriously. This is not just a little boxing class! It wasn't long before I started taking my training seriously, too. Since then, the coaches have gone out of their way to teach me, encourage me, support me, hype me up, and remind me that martial arts is about much more than physical fitness. (Body teaaa though!) Pro-tip for women looking into 10P Burbank: don't worry about the male/female ratio. Everyone here is your teammate. The coaches do a phenomenal job ensuring the mats are a safe place for everyone, and they set a high bar in terms of behavior. Never had a problem and happy to say that 3 years later, nobody wants a problem ;) If you're looking for a martial arts gym where you can sharpen your focus, strengthen your commitment to yourself and your wellbeing, double down on your discipline, face those inner demons, and build community with some real killers, this is the place.

    I owe this gym such a debt, the coaches, the people, and a truly unique environment. Take your pick…read moreof training: Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu (Wrestling incuded) all come highly recommended! Cleanest gym out here, the staff work diligently to protect the health of the clientele between classes which include cleaning and wiping down the mats and all surfaces used! Currently been knowing the team going on 6 years, and training for about 4 years, blessed to have trained with everyone that has come through these doors, and proud to be apart of this lineage of people, and looking forward to welcoming new family members as well. Highly recommeneded!

    DO NOT SIGN A CONTRACT HERE. If I could give this place zero stars, I would…read more ​I signed my daughter up in August for what I was explicitly told was a six-month agreement. Nobody ever mentioned that the gym would automatically shift to a month-to-month charge after that period ended. My daughter only actually attended for about two months, yet they have continued to pull money from my account well past the six-month mark. ​When I caught the charges and asked for a refund, they flat-out refused. The best they offered was a 3-month credit. Because my daughter can no longer attend due to her school and work schedule, I asked if the credit could at least be transferred to me so the money wouldn't go to waste. The representative said she "didn't think it was possible" but claimed she would look into it. ​To make matters worse, their cancellation process is incredibly sketchy: ​I canceled online but never received a confirmation email. ​I called and spoke to a representative who promised to email me a cancellation confirmation, a copy of my original contract, and the 3-month credit offer in writing. ​They never sent anything. ​They are more than happy to keep taking your money without authorization, but completely ghost you when you ask for paperwork or a resolution. Save your money, protect your bank account, and stay far away from this gym!
