The boost in confidence I have seen in both of them is very noticeable. Fran and Matt are both experts in BJJ but also incredibly good with kids.

The gym is now open 24/7 which makes it so convenient to go when I am able to and not being restricted to class times but still being guided with my exercises is what works best for me.

They will keep charging you even after you cancel. I was billed for months for my girlfriend's…read morerecovery membership that she never used and was supposed to be canceled. They also overcharged me for personal training sessions I couldn't attend, and sold us a boxing membership only to get rid of the boxing coach almost immediately. When I asked to cancel, they still kept billing. Every time I talked to management I was told it would be handled, notes would be added, and corporate would follow up. None of that ever happened. Operations manager Tony Avila told me multiple times he would take care of it, but that did not happen. Honestly not sure what "operations manager" means here because nothing was managed and none of the problems were fixed. To make it worse, I later found out the sales staff who signed me up are no longer there because of shady practices, which lines up exactly with what happened to me. Most of the regular staff are nice, but management did nothing to fix the problem. Be very careful what you sign here and watch your bank statements. 1 star added bc i like most of the staff are dope.

Updating my review…read more My youngest son who is on the Spectrum has also joined the Fight Foundation team. We couldn't be more thankful for Sifu Cherry and her team, they work very well with my son. We started with 1:1 classes before integrating him into group classes. My son would elope at home, at the the store basically anywhere, with the help of Fight Foundation my son hardly has that issue now. MMA has taught him discipline and to follow directions. They instructors are great at reinforcing positive behaviors and nipping the bad ones. My son is learning to interact with his peers better and he is equipped to defend himself. We've been with Fight Foundation for many year and highly recommend them. It's also by far the cleanest gym around. We love Sifu Cherry And Sifu Paul, their whole team has always been awesome with us. My son has been with the fight foundation for a few years now. I signed him up because I was tired of my son coming home upset from being physically bullied with little consequences from the school. They've really helped my son with his confidence and bullying is no longer an issue. He's never had to use his MMA skills outside the studio but it's reassuring knowing my son has the tools he needs to defend himself if he's ever in a ugly situation or outnumbered. We can't always be there to protect our kids but you can give them the upper hand. MMA teaches more than just self defense its given my son goals to strive for and discipline outside my household. Thanks again Fight Foundation we love being on your team!

I've had the privilege of training with Graciela Casillas on multiple occasions, and I can say this…read morewithout hesitation--she is the real deal in every sense of the word. There are accomplished martial artists... and then there are people like Graciela. Her level of skill, experience, and depth of knowledge is extraordinary, but what really sets her apart is who she is as a person. She is one of the most dedicated, generous, and genuinely giving instructors I've ever met. She doesn't just teach technique--she gives of herself. Every class, every interaction, you can feel how much she cares about her students and their growth. Spending time at CMA Martial Arts, you quickly realize this isn't just another school. There's a culture there. A feeling. It's disciplined, yes--but also deeply human. Respectful, supportive, and real. What impressed me most is her ability to connect across all levels. I've seen her work with adults--serious practitioners--and deliver high-level, no-nonsense training that commands respect. And in the same breath, she can turn around and work with children in a way that's engaging, uplifting, and full of heart. That balance is rare. She's not just teaching martial arts--she's shaping people. And as someone who has been in the martial arts world for a long time, I don't say this lightly: Graciela Casillas is one of the most accomplished and inspirational martial artists I've had the honor to train with. If you're looking for a place to train where the instruction is world-class, the culture is authentic, and the leadership truly cares--CMA Martial Arts is something special. I'm grateful for every opportunity I've had to learn from her, and I look forward to many more. -- Gregory Poretz

Your insider knowledge and expertise were truly appreciated, and I felt much more confident and prepared for my travels. Your tips saved me time, money, and stress, allowing me to focus on the Muay Thai training thats what mattered most - exploring and experiencing the local culture.

I have been training at Corona Muay Thai for about a year. This place is special! From the moment I…read morewalked through the doors, I have felt welcomed by the even most advanced students there. Whether your primary interest is fitness or competitive fighting, there's a place for you on the mat to reach those goals. You won't find egos here, just a diverse collective of people with a lot of heart. Kru Roy and his students are patient and encouraging. Kru Roy's curriculum is intentional and grounded in the fundamentals. This not only provides an opportunity for new students to join at any time, but allows students to revisit and improve their technique. Come sweat, learn, improve, laugh, and achieve with us.

Corona Muay Thai Academy is an amazing gym and community. I don't have a single bad thing to say…read moreabout training here. Kru Roy truly cares about his students--he's not just there to teach techniques, but to push you to bring out your best every session. Unlike some gyms where coaches just clock in for a paycheck, Kru Roy goes above and beyond. He takes the time to correct your form, motivate you, and make sure you're learning the art of Muay Thai the right way. Classes are structured but also very welcoming for all levels, whether you're brand new or experienced. The energy in the gym is motivating, and the people are supportive, which makes training here something you actually look forward to. Kru doesn't let you slack either--he'll make sure you're getting a full workout in every time you step on the mats. If you're serious about improving, whether for fitness, self-defense, or competition, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

All the students and teachers there were so welcoming and accommodating and helpful. The facilities are top notch. The mats are super clean. They have showers, and I think even a sauna. Culture is often the most important part of any combat sport academy and West Coast MMA has it in spades. Thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would 100% recommend this academy to anyone, whether they are experienced competitors, brand new to Jiu Jitsu or combat training, or anything in between. Thanks Coach Jose, Matt, Froggy and the entire crew for the hospitality, the sweat and the technique!

Disappointing Experience at Morumbi Jiu Jitsu I had high…read morehopes for Morumbi Jiu Jitsu, especially for my child, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. One of the most concerning issues was the pairing of children for sparring and drills. It seems there was little consideration for the varying experience levels among the kids. As a result, my child felt overwhelmed and discouraged, which is the opposite of what we were looking for. Additionally, the focus on teaching techniques seemed to overshadow the importance of making learning enjoyable for the kids. Training should be a fun and engaging experience, especially for younger students, but the environment felt rigid and overly technical. I believe that fostering a love for the sport is just as important as mastering techniques, and this balance was unfortunately lacking. I hope the management takes these issues into account to improve the experience for future students.For now, I cannot recommend Morumbi Jiu Jitsu based on my child's recent experience.
