This is called "violence is not the answer, let's play rock paper scissors instead" OR  "Stop messing around the clock is running"
Marco R.

Walking up to @matspacebjj feels more like finding a speakeasy than a gym. There's a modest sign outside, but the glowing neon "Jiu Jitsu" sign at the door lets you know you're in the right spot. The inside has so much character--clean, well-lit, and a disco ball over the mats. The music is just as eclectic, ranging from heavy metal to Banda. The coaching here is what keeps people coming back. Professor Marco has a real gift for making difficult concepts feel intuitive, and having Matthew and Mike there for MMA and No Gi makes the technical depth of the gym incredible. You can tell they actually care about your progress, whether you're an amateur fighter building a career or a parent bringing your kid to the Saturday "Parent and Me" classes. It's a grounded, ego-free community where people actually stick around to talk after training. When you visit, reit's street parking only, so give yourself a few minutes to find a spot.

I'm an old man and honestly never thought I'd be doing this. But professor Marco and his team helped me ease into jiu-jitsu and provided a very welcoming environment. Everyone there is truly interested in seeing each other succeed and get better. The periods of instruction are very detailed and the instructors really take their time to make sure you are comfortable with each movement and understand the steps. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone starting out. Very warm, comfortable, friendly, and informative. Probably one of the best workouts I've ever had.

Such a fun vibe! Everyone is so respectfully and helpful. Literally, hours of family fun!

Oh yeah!!!

Prof Marco together with coach Matthew are amazing teachers. They are very skilled, passionate and professional individuals. Prof Marco is very good at explaining moves to untrained individuals, making it easy to follow his instructions. He makes Jiu Jitsu fun and entertaining. The place is clean, organized and it just has good vibes all around. Prof Marco and Coach Matt built a comfortable place for everybody to train or just hang out, from kid, women and men. Come in for a free try out. You will not regret it

“When we heard that Professor Marco started his own Jui-Jitsu gym, we didn't hesitate to enroll our daughter here.”

She made the entire process easy and welcoming. Juan was an amazing coach who pushed me to my limits while keeping the training motivating and enjoyable. He was attentive, encouraging, and made every session feel productive. The other members are also awesome and very supportive, which creates a great environment to train in.

Nobody ever mentioned that the gym would automatically shift to a month-to-month charge after that period ended. My daughter only actually attended for about two months, yet they have continued to pull money from my account well past the six-month mark. ​When I caught the charges and asked for a refund, they flat-out refused. The best they offered was a 3-month credit. Because my daughter can no longer attend due to her school and work schedule, I asked if the credit could at least be transferred to me so the money wouldn't go to waste. The representative said she "didn't think it was possible" but claimed she would look into it. ​To make matters worse, their cancellation process is incredibly sketchy: ​I canceled online but never received a confirmation email. ​I called and spoke to a representative who promised to email me a cancellation confirmation, a copy of my original contract, and the 3-month credit offer in writing. ​They never sent anything. ​They are more than happy to keep taking your money without authorization, but completely ghost you when you ask for paperwork or a resolution. Save your money, protect your bank account, and stay far away from this gym!

Started training here almost 3 years ago and really didn't know what I was in for. It was clear…read morefrom jump that everyone, coaches and students, takes their training very seriously. This is not just a little boxing class! It wasn't long before I started taking my training seriously, too. Since then, the coaches have gone out of their way to teach me, encourage me, support me, hype me up, and remind me that martial arts is about much more than physical fitness. (Body teaaa though!) Pro-tip for women looking into 10P Burbank: don't worry about the male/female ratio. Everyone here is your teammate. The coaches do a phenomenal job ensuring the mats are a safe place for everyone, and they set a high bar in terms of behavior. Never had a problem and happy to say that 3 years later, nobody wants a problem ;) If you're looking for a martial arts gym where you can sharpen your focus, strengthen your commitment to yourself and your wellbeing, double down on your discipline, face those inner demons, and build community with some real killers, this is the place.

I owe this gym such a debt, the coaches, the people, and a truly unique environment. Take your pick…read moreof training: Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu (Wrestling incuded) all come highly recommended! Cleanest gym out here, the staff work diligently to protect the health of the clientele between classes which include cleaning and wiping down the mats and all surfaces used! Currently been knowing the team going on 6 years, and training for about 4 years, blessed to have trained with everyone that has come through these doors, and proud to be apart of this lineage of people, and looking forward to welcoming new family members as well. Highly recommeneded!

TLDR: Best boxing gym. Great coaches. Excellent culture…read more This is hands down the best boxing gym I have ever partaken. It makes a huge difference when the head coach (Tiko) is kinesiology educated and brings real science to everyday training. Coach George and Tiko drive positive gym culture by leading by example. Everyone who steps into Thruline is met with an intense training atmosphere, but always a warm welcome. However, it's not just the coaches. The students are a massive part of making day-to-day training worthwhile (and safe). My first day here, one of the gym's fighters took time out of his own training schedule to ensure I was getting the basics down. Positive gym culture starts at the top and it is well demonstrated at Thruline. Whether you're a fighter looking to enter the ring, someone trying something new for the first time, a martial arts hobbyist looking to add some boxing to your skill set (like me), or just looking to introduce your kids to an amazing sport... this is the gym for you. Additionally, the membership provides other unique benefits and access to amenities. For some, the amenities alone may be worth the membership. I highly recommend, especially as this review arrives at the heels of the gym's relocation/expansion.

I've been training at THRULINE now for about 4 months and some change.Let me tell you, that the…read morecoaches here are bred differently. They are absolutely in tune with every student and truly uphold the standards of consistency, discipline and technique. Doesn't matter what type of experience you have or if you are truly new to the art of fighting/boxing. You walk out of THRULINE gym a better fighter. The sparring sessions are fun and engaging, the conditioning days are brutal but rewarding and the private lessons with head coach Tiko, truly motivates you to continue sharpening your skills, while unlocking abilities you didn't think you had. I'm still in the beginning of my boxing journey and although I started late in life, I have no doubt that THRULINE will bring out all the potential, talent and confidence I have stored. Again, I want to emphasize. The coaches here are amazing. They are Confident, knowledgeable, and most importantly patient. They will not give up on you, even if for a brief second you doubt your capabilities.
