Family oriented with kids and parents all there to hang and train. Snacks and some play areas for kids and a beautiful bright matted area with amazing pictures from Ryans career fighting and cornering the most recognizable faces in the game. The instruction was absolutely incredible I cannot recommend Ryan and his academy more. Definitely check it out if you are in the area I wish I could train here more! - Nick Lamagna

High recommend this martial arts academy!…read more Our kids have been going here for about 10 months and love it. Started with BJJ, but then switched to capoeira which they enjoyed more because of the acrobatics. The coaches and staff are really supportive and patient with the kids. The gym is pretty big and they have cameras so parents can observe from the lobby. Parking can be tough if you don't get there early, but there's room on the neighboring side streets which aren't too far away. Typically there's always people leaving between classes so I have always been able to find a stall. The prices are reasonable. Upfront costs may seem high, but it includes the uniform and which they need anyway. Otherwise it's a great price. They also offer discounts for siblings, military, etc.

Coach Lima was one of the best parts of my experience at Kaizen…read more He's super level-headed, honest, and actually takes the time to help you improve, no matter your skill level. You can tell he genuinely cares about the people in the gym and isn't just going through the motions. I really respect people who are straightforward, patient, and helpful. and he checks all those boxes. If you're training here, you're in good hands with him.

This place challenged me, and ultimately made me a better fighter and better person both mentally and especially physically. The MMA/Kickboxing classes are top notch, and I've made many friends during my time there. If you want good exercise and good teaching (shoutout coach Jay, Eduardo, and sensei nima!) this is the place to be at. I'll never forget kaizen and all it's done for me. Highly recommend! 10/10

Do note, they do have Retail spots in the garage of the building they are attached to but it's a bit tight. Some street parking but really hard to grab. Check in was easy and staff was friendly. They were big fans of hands on instruction and the machines seemed clean/in good condition. The lobby area was huge, with tons of seating room. The products they used in the bathrooms were nice, Oribe dry shampoo and Salt and Stone lotion/soap. Better amenities and cleaner studio than the ones I've frequented before!

I've been training Muay Thai for over 20 years and I just want to take a moment to say something…read moreabout Kru Chon -- he is by far the nicest, most caring person I've trained with. The guy genuinely invests in his students and builds real relationships. That means a lot. His fighting pedigree speaks for itself, and his focus on traditional Muay Thai is something I really respect. You can feel the authenticity in every class. The gym has an amazing vibe. Everyone at Little Giant is welcoming and professional, zero egos -- and the place is always spotless. That culture starts with Kru Chon and you feel it the moment you walk in. I truly appreciate this community and the people in it.

Over the past three months, I have completed approximately 20 private lessons and quickly realized how much there is to learn. The training has been both humbling and rewarding. I train primarily with Kru Chon and have also had one-on-one sessions with Coach Nate and Kru Roger. All three have been extremely patient, engaging, and supportive throughout the learning process. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in Muay Thai training.

This place had such high reviews, I was excited to join the gym…read more 1. Front desk: very nice people, professional, easy to talk with and helpful. 2. However, the facility itself was in dire need of renovation. - pool: covered outdoor pool that works as indoor pool during colder months, but the condensation is much, you can't see anything. (See pic) - it is like a maze: hard to navigate easily and it reminds you of your public school set up - group classes itself were nice, but the AC AND the fans on the ceiling don't work, so imagine how hot it gets.. like 77 on my group class day. It was so uncomfortable. - if you need tennis or other courts: this is your best bet! They have so many tennis and other sport courts. So choose this location if you like tennis, squash etc. not a good fit for those who just wanna workout in group classes or swim in comfort. $90 a month plus $100 or so for initiation fee. 3. Indoor cafe available 4. Parking is a nightmare. Such a small lot for the number of people it serves. Those who live in McLean should just walk there. Then the walk itself will your workout!
