Recently signed up here with Coach Danny and I'm grateful to have found this gym. Coach Danny is very knowledgeable and is able to meet you at your level. Whether you are a beginner or have experience Coach Danny will elevate your training, so I highly recommend this gym if you are looking for a home gym. Good energy and his gym is very welcoming, stop in and check it out for yourself. I appreciate you Coach -Brett read more

SoCal Combat Club is an excellent place to train if you want to get fit, make friends, gain self-defense skills, and feel confident knowing you can take care of yourself and your family. The What: If you want to learn striking, they offer kickboxing. If you want to learn grappling, they have Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). And if you want to be well-rounded, they teach mixed martial arts (MMA). The Who: The reason why you can learn such a wide array of combat sports is because of the owner and head instructor, Professor Danny Saurez. He is a true martial artist, having trained in everything from Judo and wrestling to Wing Chun and Kali. But of course, he is a world-class expert in BJJ, MMA, and kickboxing. As a former professional MMA fighter and a 4th-degree black belt in BJJ, he knows what it takes to win, having a versatile skillset and a strong championship mindset. But that doesn't mean you have to be a fighter to appreciate his teaching. Prof. Danny is one of the few elite-level instructors who is also an expert teacher -- he's physically talented, has real-world experience, and can adapt to each student (whether complete newbie or black belt) so they learn quickly. And the best part? He's funny, easy-going, and encouraging. The Where: The new SoCal Combat Club location in Anaheim is located in an industrial park, which is great because you don't get the random riff-raff who walk in and disturb a class like you would find at a strip mall location. It might be small-ish, but everything is new, clean, and well organized. And there's plenty of parking during the evening classes. Plus, it's close to the 57 and 91 freeways, so getting there is a breeze regardless of where you're coming from. The Why: There are many reasons to train here. You might start because you want to lose weight and get fit -- you will burn hundreds of calories per sessions, regardless of the style you try out. You might train because you want to learn how to defend yourself and your family or compete in amateur BJJ or kickboxing tournaments. But no doubt you'll stay because of the people. Prof. Danny and the SoCal Combat Club are so welcoming, supportive that it'll feel like you're a part of a family. read more

After 2 years away from BJJ. I got back into it and I'm glad I did. Danny is an awesome professor. Down to earth and very detailed. He doesn't just show you one move and that's it for the day. He chains techniques so you don't just get to that position and not know what to do. Highly recommend Socal Combat Club. read more

Socal Combat Club - After a Monday night class. - Kickboxing Near Me - Anaheim, California

No doubt one of the best instructor that I ever had! I've been eyeing this MMA dojo for quite some time now and promise myself when I get my new job, I will join.. and I did! Their new place looks niceee and convenient to the public since it's located in a plaza. Everybody is friendly and accommodating; it feels like family whenever I enter this place.. no ego and everybody is having a good time learning the art :) I had a handful of martial arts instructors growing up and they're all very helpful developing my skills til now, but the degree Professor Danny delivers is to the point and no BS. Granted, I came from a traditional martial art system, Prof Danny refines it and let me be as my own martial artist, specifically the kickboxing part. Those little adjustments like for example: keeping my hands up for defense all the time.. he really emphasized those details and I greatly appreciate it. I did a little Brazilian Jiujitsu before from Atos, which helped me stay calm on the ground, However they emphasized in No-Gi here and I was trilled because of its more realistic approach than putting on a Gi. I enjoy when Prof. Danny combines our BJJ and striking together cause I feel like an MMA fighter haha. I really enjoy going to this class every single time that I can.. I truly believe I found the place for me to improve my skills :) Overall, I highly recommend this place to fellow martial artist and those who wants to learn to defend themselves :) read more

I've been a student of Professor Danny for years and if there's one thing I can say is that he is a true student of the art that is always improving his own game. He is a forward thinker and always keeping us up to date and ahead of what is currently trending in terms of techniques and strategy in BJJ. He has a gift for finding your strengths and weaknesses and improving upon them. I train with him at both his locations in Whittier and Anaheim and do not mind the commute because his instruction is top notch. I can't recommend Professor Danny and his SoCal combat club family enough! Oooss read more

One of Orange County's best kept secret and hidden gem. Coach Danny been a good mentor of mine since 2010 and Havent looked back since. Always AAA+++++ when it comes to his classes! If you are just curious to join, to want to start your martial arts journey, or to continue to grab more to your toolbox, he is the one for you! Highly recommended for any ages that are interested! Go check him out! read more

Since I started with Coach Danny, my love for Brazilian Jiujitsu was rekindled. Coach Danny is a former professional fighter and 4th degree black belt in BJJ, his teaching style combines real world application of the grappling martial art. Even in a group setting, he gives a lot of personal attention to each and every student to improve and clean up their technique. His weekly classes include the perfect combination of camaraderie with an excellent group of training partners and coach Danny's encouragement to always get better. I recommend SoCal Combat Club (conveniently located out of Kali Academy in Whittier and another private location off 91) and Coach Danny highly if you want to get better at BJJ and enjoy doing it! read more

Coach Suarez really is the best kept secret. His method of teaching is clear and concise. He keeps a fun environment in the gym. He teaches great technique and encourages experienced belts to explore and innovate. You won't regret training with Coach Danny Suarez. Like I said, he is the best kept secret. read more

Been attending for the last year! Danny is an excellent coach and creates a welcoming but challenging environment for all skill levels in kickboxing, BJJ, MMA. read more

Beginning something new, regardless of what it is can be intimidating. Factor in that that "something new" is a very intense, physically demanding, male dominated, contact sport...entering as a woman felt like it's own challenge. That is, before I had actually joined. Unsure of whether bjj was something I actually wanted to do, I decided to take my first class just to see what it would be like, not certain if I would continue with it. Immediately I felt welcomed and that my presence was valued. The range of students at various milestones in their mma/bjj journey provided so many different perspectives and areas to learn in. It has been about a year and a half now that I have trained at SoCal Combat Club under Professor Danny Suarez and I have learned so much. He does a great job at gauging and respecting his students' boundaries while ensuring that they grow. Whether that growth is cleaning up technique, learning discipline, getting physically stronger... every student of his has grown under him. Classes are held throughout the week into Saturday, morning and evening, at the new Whittier location with private training in Anaheim. This schedule ensures that anyone can fit in at least a class or two each week regardless of life's demands. Under Coach Danny Suarez you will be challenged and you will be pushed but you will be better for it! read more

As a Muay Thai/kickboxing enthusiast, I must say that this gym has it all! From the moment I stepped in, the coaches and students were all very welcoming and helpful. There is a good mix of students with various levels of experience. The classes are structured so that students not only get an amazing workout but will also understand the concepts and learn new techniques. Every class is different and you will never get bored! Coach Danny has decades of experience and it shows through his awesome teaching style. I enjoyed the kickboxing classes so much that I recently started taking the BJJ classes. Now I am totally hooked and look forward to training every day! Also during these covid times, the gym strives to keep the students safe by maintaining a safe and clean environment. I highly recommend this gym to anyone whether you are experienced or brand new to the sport! read more

I've been training here for around 5 years now and I'm really glad I found this place. I tried many other gyms before I found this one but they either showed you a couple of moves and left you alone or was just cardio. If you really want to learn a combat sport you should come here. You can tell Coach Danny puts in a lot of effort to teach us new moves and make sure we have it down. He really wants his students to learn and get better. He's the one teaching at every class and is very attentive. Everyone here is also super friendly and are always ready to help you. They answer any questions you have and give you tips on what to do better. I've mainly been doing Jiu jitsu at the private location in Anaheim which is great. The classes are smaller and more intimate which I prefer. There's more time for the coaches to help you one on one. If you're looking to learn a combat sport this is the place to go. read more

After over a decade of training under Professor Danny Suarez and visiting other schools, I can still confidently say he is one of the best practitioners and teachers you can ever have. The detailed breakdown of every position and counters he provides is unmatched. Another great aspect is that he provides multiple class schedules to accommodate students schedules. The new Whittier location and private training sessions in Anaheim allows you to get training in and still have a life. Morning and evening classes to fit all schedules. I have trained under Professor Suarez for 15 years and look forward to the next 15! read more

So Cal Combat Club in Whittier is one of those hidden gems. Coach Danny Suarez is a real high level Jiu-jitsu, kickboxing and Mma coach. Coach Danny is not only a good coach he is also a good person just like all his students. Coach Danny and his students make So Cal Combat Club a really good, safe and fun place to train. read more

This is by far the best place for martial arts in the area. The owner Danny is a very good teacher with the patience to make sure you can succeed. The place is also very clean and friendly. If you're looking for a place to train jiu jitsu or kickboxing look no further. The prices can't be beat and Danny is very understanding if you're going through financial hardship to help you out keep you going to class. I can't speak more highly of this place. read more

The California Combat Club has changed my life in many positive ways. I've know Danny for many years, and he's one of the best coaches in Southern California. It is a good place to train, it feels like home for me. read more

Best gym in Cali to train at! Professor Danny Suarez is a great coach! He is very passionate and it shows when he teaches. No meat heads at the gym is a big plus for me since I have many injuries that I have endured throughout my life. Everyone is very friendly and Danny makes sure everyone feels welcome. It's a blessing to have found a gym where I can learn the self defense and sport aspects of BJJ and kickboxing! read more

I signed up for preliminary class mainly to learn about striking. I am a striking newbie and minimal jiu justu experience. The instructor that worked with me was Kenny and I highly recommend him. His one on one teaching experience with striking was professional and very straightforward and easy to understand. I also was asked to attend jiu justu session which constituted group drill/rolling. The environment was very mellow and relaxed. A big ego would not fit in here, which I absolutely jived with. The general vibe was hard work and respect. The only negative was they pushed my out of shape body a little too hard. Don't open with one minute of jump rope session if the person is wildly out of shape. But then again, maybe them pushing me far past my limit was also good for me. I was completely gased for jiu justu. Again, I highly recommend this place. It's a premium price for premium instructors. read more

My boyfriend has been going here for a few years and his fitness and fighting skills have increased a lot. Going to this gym is his favorite hobby. Coach Danny and the rest of the instructors are all very knowledgeable and friendly. This is a great gym for anyone looking to get in shape and learn to fight for sport, fun, or self defense! read more

I regularly frequent a gym but felt that I had plateaued with the same routine. I had previously visited another boxing gym last year but did not return to that gym following the introductory class. Unlike the first boxing gym I visited, the staff here is friendly and makes me feel very comfortable. The instructors pay close attention to each individual to make sure they learn the correct form and technique. As a female, I was intimidated to step out of my comfort zone and visit a gym outside of the one I go to... especially an MMA gym! but little did I know how helpful and patient the staff would be! I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to learn the sport or needs that extra push! read more

Been doing some kind of sports or martial arts for a while.. was looking to transition into MMA, BJJ and more live training. My personal requirements in a school was good instruction as a priority and an overall positive environment. Having been to many different types of schools, I know that the culture and school environment is probably the #1 most important factor conducive to learning. Instruction: I wanted top quality bjj and grappling instruction. I also sought out a school that would teach wrestling and take downs, versus a straight sport bjj school. Danny's a well versed 2nd degree black belt and his style of teaching is easy to follow. He has fight experience at the amateur and professional level and that translates to more comprehensive knowledge of all ranges. Also, all the other instructors are very friendly and will help you get better. Coaches roll and spar on a regular basis, and given the close environment you get very hands-on teaching. I never felt like I was lost or no one was paying attention. Culture: Very close knit and family-like environment. The instructors are close to one another and are friends, and that trickles down to how the students interact with everyone else. There is no disrespect or ego clashes. It also encourages growth in learning as I have no concern whether or not I get "tapped" by someone else for trying something new or experimenting to learn. Classes: I appreciate the somewhat informal aspect to classes. A lot of the big martial arts centers start class on the dot. (for example 6pm and end exactly at 7pm) Sometimes at those places if it starts late or something comes up, class is cut short. The class schedule here is later on at night and open mat/practice goes on until close. I never feel like class was too short. While the environment is friendly and not super rigid, there is still structure in general, as well as in the curriculum. BJJ is offered in a very diverse platform, with both no-gi classes and gi classes. Takedowns, submission wrestling and leglocks are all part of the curriculum as well. I'm going to also add that you can tell Coach Danny is very cognizant of preventing injury and when working takedowns or leglocks, there are precautions set in place. Price: Cheaper than most schools esp for the level of instruction you get. No contract and had no issue with billing so far. Demographic: People of all walks of life. Big dudes, little dudes, medium. Strong, lanky, tall. A good number of girls which seems to be increasing steadily. Everyone is friendly and respectful. Overall the school is very comprehensive and caters well to the individual. If you just want an outlet for stress or to exercise couple times a week, that's great. If you want to compete in grappling or mma, that is also supported. There is no pressure to do anything you don't want to. You are allowed to work at your own pace, and that level of autonomy with positive encouragement and instruction is a rare find. read more

Socal Combat Club - Saturday Open Mat - NoGi - Kickboxing Near Me - Anaheim, California

See all

In early 2013 I was at my "rock bottom" when it came to my physical health and energy levels - working in a high stress sales position 8+ hours a day with the responsibilities that come with being a wife and mother I needed to do something to get into better health. Having a husband who is an athlete (Boxing and MMA) we discussed options for me but I was anxious because at 30-years-old I had never participated in athletics of any kind. After a lot of consideration we decided that I would start taking the blended kickboxing class at Southern California Combat Club (SC3). My goal was better health - if I lost some weight that would just be an added bonus. I was excited to try something new and begin my journey to a healthier lifestyle but was a bit hesitant being a woman training for my first time in an MMA gym full of tough men... but within minutes any bit of hesitation I had was removed by the kindness and humility of the members of SC3!!! In April of 2013 I took my first class - exhausted and dripping in sweat, I found myself hungry for more and could not wait to come back!!! I started out with 2 classes a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays), and within a few weeks included the cardio fit class on Wednesdays into my routine... a few weeks later I added on another night (Mondays) of blended kickboxing and cardio fit... within a few months I found that I was walking taller, had more energy, and that my ability to keep up in class (cardio) was improving. In October of 2013 I added Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (Tuesdays and Thursdays) into my routine... now I find myself at the gym 4 nights a week, taking 2 classes each day, and I truly love each and every moment. Head coach and owner, Danny, is a GREAT teacher! Each class is thoroughly planned out and he thoughtfully connects techniques from previous lessons and other classes into scenarios that can be used regardless of if your time is spent fighting in a cage or in a real life self-defense situation. He is more than just a coach; he is an example & inspiration to the gym... "The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." The staff is also very knowledgeable and helpful - each and every one of them humbly extends a hand when it is needed; anything from one-on-one help to get a specific technique down, giving pointers where they are needed, or extending words of encouragement. SC3 is so much more than a building where people gather to workout... It is a close knit circle of people who shed "blood, sweat, and tears" together... Each and every person has a genuine love for the sport of MMA - BUT - most of all there is true compassion for the members of the SC3 family. In the past year not only have I far exceeded the goal I set to improve my physical health (plus the bonus of losing 30lbs), but I have gained mental health (nothing like a good session hitting the pads after a stressful day at the office), and life altering friendships!!! One last thing that I can say that speaks volumes about the type of gym that SC3 is and the rarity that the Coach Danny and his staff offer is that I drive 45 miles (one way) to train with the team - and it is more than worth the effort that it takes me to get there. The guys and gals of SC3 make every moment a joy and I am forever a member of the family that is Southern California Combat Club!!! Thank you SC3!!! read more

Whether your goal is to improve your overall fitness, compete, or expand your knowledge of combat/defense/martial arts skills, this is the place to train. The blended kickboxing class is a fun and functional way that has improved my cardio. The grappling class has given me an excellent foundation while refining my technique. The thing that sets Southern California Combat Club (SC3) apart from other schools is the passion that the instructors have for the combat/defensive/Martial arts and your personal goals. read more

What can I say about a gym that I've been going to for over a decade. It feels like my second home. The instructor, Coach Suarez has over two decades of teaching experience. Himself being a black belt in Jiu Jitsu having fought professionally and excellent Kickboxing instructor you'll get a top notch gym that will suit your needs. I came for self defense and now I do it to stay in shape and to keep my skills up. read more

Last week I finally got to visit my good friend Professor Danny Suarez and my fight family at the SC3 House. Sadly I do not train here anymore because life happens and my job has taken me elsewhere. From the moment I walked in, we all picked up where we last left off in what seemed like an eternity ago. Danny gave me a couple of gut punches and wrestling ties even though I was in my work clothes. We traded insults like we usually do and some of the other fight fam who I trained with over the years also greeted me with handshakes and hugs. This almost brought tears to my eyes. I trained here for almost 7 years where some of these guys and girls became more than just teammates, they became family, especially Danny. I guess that's what happens when your share one of the most intimate forms of human interaction with complete strangers and I'm talking about combat. On those gray mats I spent hours upon hours hurting my friends or getting hurt by my friends in jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, and FMA. We all grew together as martial artists and as people as these are experiences that not too many go through. You will learn life long lessons of perseverance, humility, loyalty, and honor inside these gym doors. As you sift through other academy reviews in search of your forever home, you will read plenty of them that loosely use the word "family". While they only speak it, this fight fam lives it. Even though I do not train here anymore, Danny still checks up on me periodically and continues to bust my chops about continuing my martial arts journey in his own New York style of motivation that any mobster would appreciate. I don't need to tell you Danny's accolades, you can go on the gym website and read them for yourself. If you're looking for somewhere that will give you that tough love and practical & proven martial arts knowledge that works anywhere, SC3 is the place. If you want to be coddled like a child, learn impractical martial arts that only works in movies, and be given a blackbelt in 3 years... click on one of the other Academy pages. When I left that night, I was happy to see how big the academy has grown with all the new faces and how Danny still has the energy and enthusiasm in teaching his students. Not too many people see it or appreciate it but he will empty his martial arts soul to everyone who trains with him. His long time peers and students can attest to this. No matter where I end up training again when the time comes, I know I can always come back to SC3 every once in a while to visit and share some quality combat time with with my good friend Danny and my old fight fam. Our friendships always will extend outside the gym doors. Ooosss read more

2 years in and still going strong. Southern California Combat Club is amazing and going to classes are some the of the beat times of the week. Coach Danny's got your back. He knows what you need to get better and pushes you in the right direction. At first I came here mostly for bjj and kick boxing was just a bonus that came with the gym. But with coach's guidance. I feel like I have really gotten far with my striking and have really come to enjoy it as it's own sport. Grappling and striking instruction is always top notch, more than few times, I saw a move that coach taught in class in high level competition a few days later. People there are great, the energy there is great, the gym is great. Highly highly recommended. read more

SoCal combat club and Danny Suarez is one of the best high level striking and grappling training you will find in Orange County. What separates the gym from others is the amount of attention and experienced partners you get to get your skills up. Also his prices are very reasonable. read more

I was looking to learn a little bit of self defense and i am so glad i stumbled upon SoCal Combat Club. Everyone at the gym truly makes you feel as if you're part of a family. The learning environment is always friendly and very encouraging-- the more advanced students are always helping out the newbies, such as myself. All the instructors (Coach Danny, Kenny, Jocelyn, Enrique, Joe...) take the extra time to correct your mistakes and offer suggestions to help you improve. They all want to see you succeed! I've been training at this gym for approx ~10 months and have learned so much. Coach Danny has been pushing my limits, and i am glad he does. The workouts are solid. My cardio and flexibility have improved, and i can definitely say that i feel more confident about defending myself if i ever need to. Joining this gym is definitely one of the greatest decisions i've made. If you are looking for a great workout or are thinking about learning some self defense, I highly recommend SoCal Combat Club! read more

12/21/2013 last review. Has it been that long? Wow, time surely does fly-by when you get to do what you enjoy. This gym (aka 2nd home, dojo, temple, happy place) has been an integral part of my journey in not just developing my mind and body, but my spirit. The training is intense; however, it is a humbling experience knowing that this is a lifelong journey and having coaches that care for quality development of ones capabilities is a positive reinforcement that helps the progression in being a better martial artists and overall better person. The self-less dedication of investing countless hours of continued training from our coaches allows all students new and old, to learn techniques (fundamentals and evolution of new systems) in a progressive sound environment. There is never a dull moment during each class session as the instructors bring it each session. Therefore, after nearly 6 years of training, I continue to suggest that SoCal Combat Club is a gym for new students looking for a quality learning environment and for the seasoned veteran looking to train with great teammates and coaches. Looking forward to the next 6, 12, 18, 24 years. - Jerry read more

Missing this place. Great vibes and an awesome place to learn BJJ and Kickboxing. I am so glad that it survived through COVID and is upholding heavy sanitary practices. Glad I started my BJJ journey here! read more

Great coaching and teaching for people at all levels. This was my first time taking jujitsu and I loved it. All of the coaches were super helpful and I was able to pickup a lot from the couple of classes I went to. Also very safe and sanitary during co-vid everyone wore masks and cleans up after the class. I will definitely be attending more classes the next time I'm in LA. Thank you to all the coaches and welcoming peers for making my first experience in jujitsu a blast. read more

Been at this gym for about 5 months now and really staring to enjoy it. Before, most of my exercise routine consisted of just lifting so I was looking for something to hit more cardio. With almost no mma experience, I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. First, I took an intro class at UFC gym; the vibe I got there was not great. But the staff here is extremely knowledgeable and shows interest and care in helping each individual. This place has a very homey vibe; it's like a big family; everyone is very friendly and supportive. Its not super intimidating either. As you learn more, you start piecing things together and it all starts to just flow. I feel like it's made me a lot sharper and more confident with my movements. read more

Danny Suarez and Southern California Combat Club is the gym you need to join if you are 1. Looking for top of the line training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA, and Submission Grappling. 2. You are looking for high level instruction by a coach that not only cares about how you progress in the martial arts, but cares about you as a person. 3.

Socal Combat Club - The only photo during my sparring session with Coach Suarez where I looked ok. Haha. - Kickboxing Near Me - Anaheim, California

I came looking for a challenge as I was training to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro. I signed up for kickboxing. I can definitely say I've been challenged every class. Kenny beats me up every time! I thank him for being able to make it to the top of the mountain. I don't know which was harder: Kilimanjaro or his classes! This is a great place, nice atmosphere. The price is great, affordable. Allows me to continue taking classes. read more

Wow! I can't speak highly enough of this place! Coach Danny is awesome! He does a great job of giving personal attention to each student and explaining different techniques really well. Even if you're a novice (like me) with absolutely no experience, you can count on coach to pinpoint what you need to improve on and how to do so. The kickboxing class is great and everyone there is super friendly and encouraging so you don't feel like a newb too. Check it out! read more

Hands down the best place to learn and train kickboxing/mma. The instructor, Danny, is very personable and knowledgeable. His class sessions will literally make you sweat your ass off as you learn all the different techniques/combos, defenses, etc. He even has sparring sessions with gloves and shin guards that are simulated as somewhat of a ufc fight, which definitely provides more of an appeal than all the other mma gyms out there. The other best part about this gym is that you won't have to feel intimidated at all as everyone here is very nice, helpful, patient, and welcoming. Above all else, pricing here is very reasonable for the valuable training you'll receive and learn. read more

Joining this mma gym is far the best decision I made to challenge myself and my fitness level. I was bored of the gym and doing the same routine and wanted to do some intense kickboxing. Coach Danny and the assistant coaches are very patient and dedicated to teaching and challenging me daily & we learn something new every class so it's not just a routine. He encouraged me to do jiu jitsu which I had no intentions in doing but now I do both classes and it's been very rewarding. This place has literally become my second home and everyone is super cool & has fight in them. Coach Danny is the best! He cares about each of us individually and makes sure you also have a good time. Trust, you will be dripping sweat and getting down and dirty. It isn't no zumba class. read more

By no means am I a fitness guru. I just do it to balance out all of my calorie intake. I just love food way too much! But I always want to change it up so I don't get bored with the same old routine. One of my coworkers told me about this gym. First thought that came to my head, MMA gym? Ughh... probably a bunch of meatheads. Definitely not interested! Well he was pushing me to go and told me they offered a free one-week trial so I didn't really have much to lose. I'm definitely a fan! The guys that work here are super friendly. Danny, who is the head instructor, is really awesome! He made me feel really comfortable which can be pretty intimidating in a "man's gym". I did a group cardio class and it was definitely something different. I've never had this type of work out before so I was pretty excited for it. Yeah it kicked my ass, but definitely in a good way. Worked out muscles that I didn't even know existed! These MMA gyms can be intimidating, but ladies, trust me, this is a one of kind workout that you're not getting at your average 24-hour fitness. They're knowledgeable guys that are really passionate about their craft. And it definitely shows. read more

I came back to this neighborhood for the summer after 2 years of moving to and being in college and I'd definitely say it was a great idea to come back and train at this gym. Coach Danny is the real deal- no BS in his classes and he really cares about his students. Overall, it's a super fun, welcoming, engaging, and intense (in a good way) environment and honestly I only wish there were two Coach Dannys so I can take one back to college and have a place to train there. :( Will miss everyone and will definitely be back if I'm in the area again!! Much love for this group. read more

I been going for a couple weeks and definitely the only regret I have is not signing up sooner. Before I start, I want to clarify this place is not a "gym" but a real martial arts school. It's intimating at first but the staff and other members really help newcomers get up to speed. You'll find yourself being challenged with technique and covered in sweat by the end of the class. What I like most of about this place is the "freestyle" teaching. What I mean by "freestyle" is the realistic movements and practicing. I've going to places like 24hr fitness for a while but after so many years of "running" on a treadmill to get in shape gets boring. The monthy fee is definitely affordable and fair. If you do a cross comparison, it's actually more than fair. Hope to see you in class! read more
