Bumped into Coach Bryce at a USKO sparring competition a while back where my boy was competing…read more Bryce invited my son and I to visit for some Saturday training and sparring. We took him up on the offer. The experience was great! My boy worked through a fighter's circuit: skipping rope, guided shadowboxing, heavy bag work, pads with Bryce, and partner drills followed by sparring. All the coaches and members are super welcoming. Very chill, family vibe, conducive to learning. No ego. Good times. Legit, highly technical, bad a$$ Muay Thai. My son also has history with one of the other Rising Sons coaches, Coach Yannick (a Peruvian Muay Thai champion), from a previous gym where he trained for a little bit (pre-Covid), so it was rad to re-connect. They have an active squad of killers who are wrecking shop on the local & National scenes. They're also investing in the future by growing a crop of lil' savages who my boy was able to get solid sparring rounds with. Both Bryce and Yannick are really patient, encouraging and positive with the kids. You can tell they understand how to bring them up slowly & build the toughness organically. We've been back a few times on Saturdays, and if we lived closer, would totally have my kid join forces with the Rising Sons crew. Unfortunately we're all the way out in the 626 and it would be too tough to make that trek during the week. That said, if you're anywhere near the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa/Irvine area and you or your kids need/want to get in shape, train to fight, and meet cool people with folks who really know their stuff, Rising Sons Thai Boxing is the place to be. Adults or kids, I highly recommend it!

After trying to do 3 5 min rounds on the heavy bag he took the time to train me a few rounds and teach me. He even let me use his own personal gloves and laced them up for me. They also do a partnership with a local powerlifting gym which is great because I like going to the gym too. I am super stoked about moving a few doors down to a super legit gym. Oh and the price for a membership was lower than any other gym that I've trained at. Which is a huge plus for me because I like money.

I knew I'd learn a lot about fighting, but I was astounded by how welcoming the community is. A lot of the members will support you in one way or another. Whether it's by coming to watch you fight, give you advice on how to prepare mentally and physically, or even send an encouraging text the night before the big day. Coach Julio goes above and beyond for everyone. Doesn't matter if you're on a trial membership, an experienced fighter, or just in town for the day--coach Julio treats everyone kindly. Definitely also recommend picking his brain because he is one of the most passionate people I've ever met in my life. I don't throw around the word genius often, but Coach Franky is a Fight GENIUS. Coach Agu right away can make a new member feel like you guys have been friends for years. Coach Chris teaches epic combos that he actually executes in fights and sparring! In addition, Spider has tons of other knowledgeable coaches who know how to create a safe but intense environment for those who either want to step in the ring or just simply learn the art. I moved away from the area but no doubt about it that whenever I'm in town I'm hitting up a training session at the best Muay Thai gym in the county.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. His attention to detail and ability to explain techniques made it clear that he has years of experience and a genuine passion for teaching. This gym is the closest I've found in the U.S. to the feel and integrity of traditional Muay Thai in Thailand. The vibe is authentic, the training is real, and Aaron truly knows what he's doing. I'm so grateful to have found a place like this. If you're looking to level up, not just in skill, but in toughness, discipline, and badassery...this is where it's at. 10/10 would recommend.

We tried several other trial classes before, but I can confidently say that Triunfo is the best MMA/jiu-jitsu gym for both adults and kids. Every instructor is incredibly patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping each child thrive. You can tell they truly care. The drills, structure, and sparring are thoughtfully done and really help build confidence, discipline, and focus in a fun and safe way. A special thank you to Chelsea for welcoming my son with open arms from day one it honestly makes me emotional thinking about how supported he has felt here. The entire staff has been so patient with him, encouraging him, guiding him, and teaching him all the "bad-ass" moves he loves while still keeping everything age-appropriate and positive. I truly cannot recommend a better dojo than this.

His passions for martial arts, his passion for teaching is incredible. He is an immensely patient teacher/coach, who always strives to bring out the best in his students. Be it a personal (1:1) session, or be it a group class, he pays attention to all his students and guides them every step of the way. There hasn't been a single training session where I haven't learned something new or improved a technique. His knowledge for martial arts (several of them!!) Is unmatched. Although not all his students are fighters, he treats them like fighters which not only strengthens our skill set, but also empowers everyone. I am forever grateful and lucky to have a coach like Craig. Its extremely hard to put in a few words how much Craig is valued and respected. So i highly recommend to go and find out for yourself!! ​
