    Mateja G.

    I can't say enough good things about SoCal Swords. I am about to finish the 8 week beginner longsword program and I've had the absolute best time taking these classes. The instructors are super knowledgeable and engaging and I look forward to class every week. If you have ever wanted to do something like this, I highly recommend it and I can't think of a better place to learn. I am excited to continue taking classes here!

    This is at a tournament, not at the school itself.

    I have mixed feelings about my experience here. On one hand, the instruction is top-notch. The head…read morecoach, Jean Carrillo, is clearly an expert and the quality of the training sessions is excellent--you really get the authentic Muay Thai experience you're looking for. However, the facility's cleanliness is a major issue. The locker rooms and changing areas are consistently dirty and poorly maintained. To make matters worse, during my last visit, we actually saw a rat running through the gym. It's a shame because the coaching is some of the best in Orange, but the lack of hygiene is a serious health concern that needs to be addressed immediately. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and invests in a deep clean and pest control, as it currently detracts from an otherwise great training environment.

    This is an excellent Muay Thai gym located in Orange. The head coach, Jean Carrillo, brings a…read morelifetime of Muay Thai experience and a warm, larger-than-life personality. The moment you meet him, you can feel his passion for the art and for his students. He's created an atmosphere where both beginners and advanced practitioners can thrive, learn, and feel at home. Ready to level up and even fight in Thailand? Mr. Carrillo will guide you every step of the way. I've trained here for years on and off, and I hold all of Jean's assistant coaches in equally high regard. Having trained Muay Thai in many places for many years--from coast to coast--I can confidently recommend this gym. If you're serious about improving your technique, conditioning, and overall Muay Thai journey, this is the place to be.

    Amazing classes! So much fun!…read more Last time, I did an archery class with Master Jennifer. That was a good experience! Tonight, I did an archery class with Master Clawson. It was great! Master Clawson is so knowledgeable about the history of archery and anything related to martial arts. He is very open and gives direct feedback on form. His feedback is very helpful. He took extra time with the beginners to provide additional support. I enjoyed seeing the advanced members shoot their bows too. Getting to see that was very inspiring. I love that the environment is filled with respect and discipline. Such a great learning environment. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. If you are on the fence about taking a class here, just go for it! You won't regret it. I had a ton of fun shooting and I think I got a tiiiiiny bit better from the first class- yay! lol

    Their schedule online clearly states that they have classes at 9 AM Saturday here at their Orange…read morelocation, however I'm here and there's no one here (even though the lights are on) and the doors are locked! I called the studio and it went to voicemail. I waited 15 minutes and they are still closed. Super unprofessional and waste of my time! Update. I even stuck around for another hour until 10 AM in an attempt to take the class at 10 AM, but they were still closed. I emailed the studio and they got back to me saying the whole studio is closed today and all the classes are canceled due to an event outside the studio. They should definitely be updating that on their website and/or Instagram! I even checked both before driving there this morning.

    We originally signed up our 3 year old who is energetic and wild so that he could be in a fun yet…read morestructured setting where he learns what discipline is and gets his energy out all at the same time. A few months in and we were almost going to give up as he was not making progress. However, after a quick chat with the Sensei, he made some adjustments that may seem little to him, but impacted our toddler and how we viewed each class. I have also seen other parents bring up concerns or feedback to the Senseis and instructors and noticed they do their very best to accommodate and/or adjust based on it. I also love the flexibility of the schedule. Some weeks we are busier than others but it is very nice that there's no need to call in or commit to specific days of the week. The times are perfect as well, especially for parents who might live further and don't get off work until 5pm. Each Sensei and instructor has been very patient, creative, and still fun with my toddler and other kids in the class. Every kid is so different yet they're able to manage the class with various personalities and energy levels. I also love that they do not exclude anyone! It is a safe space for any kid, young adult, or adult to build confidence and enjoy something where they are their own person. If you're unsure which dojo to try, they offer a free trial class so you can observe and get a feel for it.

We came out here for a child's bday party and small fun class.... That's when I said this is the place. My boys enjoy it, we come 2xs a week and all the sensei are very helpful. Thank you
