Since the first day of walking in to ask questions to every session afterwards, I have been treated with respect and given the attention needed with all of my questions. As someone completely new to BJJ, I was a little anxious to join but they made it not only easy to participate but exciting and engaging which has kept me eagerly coming back for more as much as I can. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested in learning this amazing sport! Thank you Portela BJJ!!!

A good coach/leader leads by example and that's exactly what you see every day at the gym. The TFW team all have full-time jobs outside of the gym and they show up every single day giving their time to help people get better - that should tell you enough about how much they love it and the gyms culture. Coach L.A., Coach Mike, and Coach Parker have decades of martial arts experience and know exactly what they are talking about. They go out of their way to make everyone feel at home in their gym and they know how to create a fun environment that allows you to challenge yourself and learn every day. Regardless of whether you've trained your whole life or are just curious and want to get started, they make you feel welcome and encourage you to push yourself and get better every day. It's rare to find a gym that allows you to strength train (weight training and conditioning classes) and participate in a variety of martial arts classes, all at a reasonable price. Every person who works out or trains at T.F.W. is super friendly and welcoming, making newcomers feel at home on Day 1. Highly recommend Train Fight Win!

What incentive is there for kids to try hard when it doesn't really matter if they try or not? When I was in Karate, we had to try hard just to get a stripe, or 2 or 3. These people are passing out belts like a free meal on Colfax. I wouldn't recommend. You should be awarded based on skill, not on if you pay your monthly bill.

The curriculum is technical and effective but also manages to find a great balance between sport and self-defense.

I started training here a little over a month ago after moving back to the area and I've really enjoyed my time and am always looking forward to coming in to class.

I've been coming for a year and the gym is always clean with positive energy from competitors, children and casual participants alike. 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. Frequent guest instructors from around the area and beyond come in to teach great seminars. 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.

Great gym for beginner to veteran boxers…read more I joined this gym in November after doing some online research and doing a drop in class. I highly recommend if you were on the fence on whether to join or not to use the drop in opportunity that this gym offers . I was looking for a great way to get a work out, meet people, and potentially train to spar and fight . What really blew me away is the attention that the coaches give you despite being in a group setting. Additionally, the culture in the gym is very supportive, everyone is looking to help each other to get better and gives you grace when just starting out to learn. Be aware that training sessions are only a few times a day, space is limited and you have to reserve your spot online. But this is not a huge burden and I always get the slot. I'm looking for.

Looks can be deceiving at first, unfortunately the gym matches the attitude of some of the…read more"employees" there. I first called and left a voicemail, wanting to set up a meeting with a coach (no response returned). I arrived the following day, and walk in and see the front desk are already working with people, so I start to walk around and take look at the gym. Only one coach was personable, and redirected me to the front. I get back and it's two guys flirting with the pretty girl. Ok, I waited a bit while they finished. They saw me sit on the bench and wait. Once the young lady they turned and left, the "employees" turned their back and continued to have their own conversation. So moral of the story is not everyone will be greeted equally, approached equally or otherwise serviced equally at this establishment. Keep looking for other gyms who are actively searching for potential performing boxers.

As far as this…read moreplace goes, it wasn't right for me but the people there where very kind and welcoming and I appreciated their openness towards me. On the other hand, I don't think I was able to grasp on and learn anything during the class because it wasn't very structured and we didn't do any exercises that would build up to some sort of combination or form. Instead a lot of what we did were improvisation and I didn't have enough knowledge to even do improv of moves. I was also confused about who the instructor of the class was because it looked as if two people were running the class. It was nice to try this place out and have a free run at it but I wanted something that was structured and had a more systemic way of doing things. I didn't wanna pay a lot for something that didn't have structure to it, so if you are looking for something that's more open minded and improv, this place might be for you!
