I started training here at 43 years old with my son to get into shape and haven't looked back. It's helped me not only to lose weight and get into better shape but also become a better roll model to my son and improved my mental well being. There are different levels of classes, from beginner fundamentals to advanced for both kids and adults. This makes starting out and continuing your journey seamless. Nyza (along with the other coaches) are extremely knowledgeable and are more than willing to answer any questions down to the smallest detail. This gym has an extremely respectful culture which in turn makes for great training partners and a wonderful experience. So if you want to get serious about competing or just want to make a lifestyle change I highly recommend Masters!

A Truly Special Part of UFC GYM Kailua…read more I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Kavika, who works in the childcare at UFC GYM Kailua. This isn't about one specific interaction...it's about the way Kavika consistently shows up for the kids. Every time we come to the gym, he is so loving, caring, patient, and genuinely playful with them. He makes the childcare feel like a place where my kids are not just being watched, but are actually cared for and valued. My kids get excited to go to the gym because they get to see Kavika. They talk about him all the time! As a parent, there is no better feeling than knowing your children are with someone who genuinely enjoys being around them and makes them feel safe, happy, and welcomed. Kavika deserves to be recognized for the impact he has. The consistency, kindness, and positive energy he brings to the childcare absolutely does not go unnoticed. Employees like him are incredibly valuable, and I truly hope UFC GYM recognizes what a special person they have in him. I hope and pray they are able to keep Kavika around for a very long time, because people like him are hard to find. He has made our family's experience at UFC GYM so great and we are genuinely grateful for him. Thank you, Kavika, for being so wonderful with my kids!

To give a fair review, I have to compare Legacy Muay Thai to another Muay Thai school. Prior to…read moretraining here at Legacy, I trained at another traditional Muay Thai school (Sorry I don't want to name because my good friends still train there) at UH for about 3 months. I would still be training there but the price was too steep and the training days were Friday and Sunday night, which isn't the most accommodating. Based on a recommendation from a personal trainer from 24 Hour fitness I decided to give Legacy a try. Pros: 1-White mats in the gym. White symbolizes cleanliness and purity. 2-Coach Ivan Flores-Teaching and coaching are based on the same principles. In Coach Ivan's case, he's is an excellent coach/teacher. Whatever striking combinations he demonstrates, he always gives reasoning to support his combos. He demonstrates, explains, gives reasoning and then demonstrates again to make sure everyone understands. Exactly like a teacher in a classroom. He also walks around and makes sure everyone is doing it correctly. His demonstrations are a beauty to watch. Its Muay Thai in its most purest form. 3-Coach Ivan Flores (again) -Striking Coach for UFC Max Holloway. Nuff said. 4-If you pay the unlimited membership, you can train JiuJitsu with Rylan Lizares (another 5 star coach) as well. 5-Rest of the team members are super cool, no attitude. This place has a warm, friendly and family oriented atmosphere. 3 classes, 3 Levels Beginning, intermediate and advance. Men and women train together. 6-Next to Savers. In case you forget your shorts you can buy one for $5 if you don't mind the stank. 7-Next to Sack and Save if you need water or something to eat. 8-They compete (in street terms SCRAP legally). If you want to test your skills we compete in the FIL-AM Man Up Stand Up fights. 9-Cool background music-Jiujitsu coach Matt plays and excellent mix of music on his iPod. CONS (none really): 1-Homeless people lingering around. They are pretty much not a threat, but there was a homeless lady who I witnessed taking a $hit behind a tree (dry heave) However, she no longer hangs around. 2-One bathroom (but there is also a shower). No biggie. You can always go to Burger King to use the bathroom too. 3-Street parking (but I've never parked more then a block away). 4-They ran out of Legacy Muay Thai shirts. :( TIPS: If you are in the beginning class, find a partner who has some experience holding pads and knows some technique. When I first joined I got kneed in the groin. Lucky it wasn't in my nutsack he got me on the shaft. Stung like a mofo. On another incident, my partner missed the Thai Pads and kicked me in my pelvis. WTF! It was then I decided to move up to the intermediate class since I already had 3 months training. I've been here for a year and a half now and Im so fortunate to learn from Coach Ivan. With his 20 years of experience he is highly knowledgeable. Its an honor and a pleasure to be a student at Legacy Muay Thai. 5 Stars without a doubt! Highly recommended.

Through out the year's training at Legacy Muay Thai my Muay Thai has developed tremendously, I feel confident with my skills and experience from what Coach Ivan has taught me. I highly recommend if you're looking for a Muay Thai gym in Honolulu.
