If you want to learn the fundamentals and how to really box, this is the gym for you. The gym is more on the traditional side and smaller. This is helpful because it makes it easier for the coach to focus on you. Speaking of coaching, Coach Ali runs the gym and is amazing! He focuses on fundamentals and the science of boxing. For example, he teaches realistic combinations, tactics, and movements that translate to sparring. That's what really separates this gym from others! Other gyms tend to teach flashy moves that will only work against an unskilled opponent. Anyway, I highly recommend coming to BFS and trying one of the night classes of Mon, Wed or Fri to get a taste.

I've trained in Kickboxing and Muay Thai off and on for almost 10 years and I have never seen a Coach love what they do as much as Erin! Anyone can teach something, but not just anyone can COACH. A coach has to LOVE the sport, and have an obsession with studying the sport... competing experience is always a plus too... Erin simply has it all. You can literally feel his love for the sport, and his students , radiate as he coaches. Jen and Sam are some more great people you will see here and are truly a foundation of the gym as well. You will immediately feel at home, Jen and Sam have such a Papa and Mama Bear spirit. As if the coaching wasn't already enough, you couldn't meet better gym managers/owners than Jen and Sam. I'm a Personal Trainer, so I have been through dozens and dozens of gyms ....and even though this is a fighting gym, there is absolutely no ego and no egos tolerated and these two make sure to keep it that way! Not to be a corn-dog but I am truly grateful I have found this gym! I could go on and on!

Coach Natalie and Coach Kay have excellent striking classes that are very engaging and I love the individual attention. Coach Larry is such a phenomenal Jiu Jitsu professor, he has such an elegant way of explaining things at an extremely high level and also at the most fundamental. Larry not only helped me attain the rank of Brown belt but has cos he's my children from the time they were fresh out of diapers. I have never seen such diligence and patience. He is truly incredible. And the community is next level. The events they put on for Thanksgiving or even celebrating each others life events are really special.

My keikis have been going here for over a year now and they love it! We went for BJJ and they are now doing Muay Thai as well and loved it!!!

They are very welcoming and the coaches are amazing! My kids have done competitions and want to sign up for more. They also have a fundamental BJJ class on Saturday for both adults and kids. A great way for the kiddos to learn in a different environment. Try them out and make them your new gym Ohana! You won't be disappointed!

As far as gear goes, I'm an astrophile, so I loved the galaxy look of everything right away and was ecstatic to find that not only did it look good, but performed even better. The gloves I purchased are some of the most comfortable and durable that I own, and I cannot WAIT to grab rash guards and spats! As for training, I came to Alex and Jess from a traditional Okinawan karate background and found that they were able to identify some of the habits of the style right away. This helped me to understand how to quickly translate the knowledge I already had to pick up more of the boxing, MMA, and Muay Thai techniques that they specialize in. I think what I appreciate most is how they approach training for newbies and kids. My teenager had almost no prior training background, is introverted, and is not very physical by nature, by the end of a pretty intense session she was asking about getting her own gear! Truly a place where you will be treated like family and pushed to be your best, no matter if you're looking for fitness, pro coaching, or self-defense.

For all of my advancement tests, I have fallen outside the scheduled testing period. There has never been an issue with scheduling a private test. It has allowed me to relax about preparation, going at my pace to ensure I am developing my skills. This community extends beyond the four walls of the gym. Frequent guest instructors from around the area and beyond come in to teach great seminars. If you're looking to start out, are returning from years away, or are looking for a competitive gym to get you ready for fights, you can't do better than RAD Muay Thai and BJJ.

I can't say enough good things about Jordan, Caleb, Thomas, Ryan and Riley. All the other coaches seem great too, but those are the ones I and my son interacted with the most. My teenager really enjoyed the classes--learning to push himself, develop new skills, and eventually, as he got into the adult classes, sparing. I wasn't interested in sparing or rising the ranks--which there is a lot of opportunity to do at McMahon. For me, however, it was more about physical fitness and trying something out of my comfort zone, and I was welcomed just the same. I really appreciate that they take students at whatever place they are and foster an environment open to all varieties of goals and abilities. There is also a growing women's group that's very welcoming and inclusive. Overall, a great place!
