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!

He is very invested in teaching these kids the proper form and moves for MMA/Jiu-jitsu. My children just started about 3 weeks ago and have already learned so much. They really enjoy sparring. What I love about it, is the discipline he instills in them and doesn't let them give up. Even when it feels extremely hard. It's summer time, so instead of having your kids stuck at home on electronics, get them signed up to Burgos and watch them learn amazing techniques, self-defense, discipline and grow their confidence. Definitely recommend!

I have only taken one of the HIIT classes and that was the most intense workout of my life.

They are so much fun, there's contests for best dressed for the theme and a medal as a reward for getting out and being active.

He is respectful and serious, and also has fun with all his classes and students. Mr. Antak is old school in how he handles admin stuff and that's fine. You warm up to his style as you get to know him. He's a Grand Master, not a front desk receptionist. I've seen him between class times doing his best to talk to students' parents and answer questions, order gear for the kids, and call people back when messages come in. My husband and son have been students at Mr. Antak's academy for a full year now. I'd recommend this academy to anyone who wants to practice karate.
