Fight Academy of Pasadena

I cannot stress how much I loved my time at Fight Academy Pasadena. I had been training for 5 years at different gyms (jiu jitsu) before finding Fight Academy and I stayed there for the last 2 years I was based in LA. EASILY the best training, community, vibes, and biggest improvement in my fitness and combat sports training was here. Savant leads an amazing team of coaches!

I’ve been in the martial arts community for around 7 years now and have been at FA for 2 years and can tell you I decided to make FA my home gym because of the coaches! They are so selfless with their time and have created such a safe and supportive community. I felt very welcomed since day 1. They really care about their students and are attentive no matter what level you’re at.

Great place to drop in for no gi Bjj. Staff and members were knowledgeable and welcoming.

I’ve been coming to FA for 8 months and I honestly love this place. Savant made me feel right home the first day I started taking the women boxing class. He takes his time with all the students and makes sure we understand the fundamentals. No matter if you’re new or advanced he always makes sure everyone is learning. You honestly need to try this class if you’re just trying to add it to your excercise routine or to learn self defense. All the coaches here are really nice and makes classes fun. One thing I love about the coaches is that no matter if you take their class or not they all try to get to know you. FA is a gym I can really call home and trust me I’ve been to soulcycle and Barry’s and I still didn’t get the same treatment like I do at FA.

If you are a woman - don’t join kickboxing class here. Most of “men” there are inexperienced teenagers with ego who will give you attitude and refuse to practice exercises with you in passing aggressive way , while coach sees that ( name starts with M) and do nothing about it and if you try to address discrimination - he will come back to you with gaslighting. Very disappointing experience. It’s a shame things like that still happen in the US and all the talks about equality and rights are just talks.
