This place saved Jiu Jitsu for my son. It only takes one bad martial arts experience to ruin any…read moresport for a child. The instructors at Alchemy took the time to teach my son as he was rolling with other students as opposed to letting a new student learn on his own with a more experienced child. Very very good instructors that re-ignited his love for BJJ. You don't need a black belt to teach a child, you need patience and the ability to communicate to a child. My son competed in his first tournament with Alchemy and can't wait for the next one. We have since moved to a new gym after re locating. It should be noted that our son was immediately competitive at his new gym. Thanks Alchemy 5 stars!!

I was a student of TMAC during my teen years and I didn't know it at the time but those five years…read morein TMAC would later define who I am today. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Mr Jadric and the teachings he instilled in me like discipline, self respect and manners I would be a very different person today. To this day I still address people with yes sir and yes ma'am, look people in the eyes when I speak to them and always treat others as I want to be treated. I'm 41 now and still think of Mr Jadric as a teacher, father figure and life long friend. Thank you to all the Jadric's for guiding me , teaching me and pushing me towards the persons I was destined to be. -James 1994-1997

Been a part of this gym since the grand opening of this location, and I'll be a part of it even if…read moreI stopped training Muay Thai all together-- the reason I can say this is because when you join this gym, you're joining more than just a place to get your cardio fix or learn self-defense... you're joining the most dynamic, dysfunctional, hilarious and loyal family you could ever hope to be a part of. The two coaches, Ryan Castillo and Bruce Chacon, welcome anyone from "I've never trained a day in my life" to "I'm an experienced professional" and give everyone the same amount of respect, attention to technique and motivation. Workouts are designed to be high intensity and consist of high volume with a combination of body weight and kettle bell oriented workouts but you're welcomed to train at your own pace! Even if you're looking to get an intense cardiovascular workout or learn how to defend yourself, you'll be gaining invaluable knowledge from experienced professionals and you'll develop a greater self-confidence and respect from your peers! The idea of joining a "martial arts gym" can be intimidating, but I promise once you give this gym a try, you'll be inviting everyone you know to be a part of the family too!

Muay Thai has been life saving and an outlet for my busy and stressful work life. Beautifully violent has created a safe and supported space for me to meet new people, learn life saving skills (self defense), and develop a love for a sport I never knew I needed. The coach's are very supportive and accommodating to new members and have worked hard in creating an environment of family. Coach Ryan and coach Bruce teach with heart and patience. Best decision I made was to be part of this gym!

But, I've noticed on certain days the talking amongst the parents has gotten worse. It's super annoying and disrespectful and it's disturbing the flow of the class. Very disappointed. I'm going to look elsewhere. Again the low star rating is for the talkative loud parents and management not doing anything about it.
