Been training at Kings for over a year now. I’ve trained at several other gyms over the years and Kings is the best by far. The coaches are amazing. Coach Nolan who teaches the Muay Thai classes really cares about his students, and you can tell. I’ve improved so much since I got here. The atmosphere is also extremely welcoming. It feels like a family there and I’ve made many friends since starting. They also have a recovery center with a sauna, red light therapy and cold plunge which is awesome after training. Overall, I love training here and I highly recommend coming to Kings.

We have been at Kings MMA Anaheim for just about two years and could not be happier with the decision to train there. After spending 6 years at a large Jiu Jitsu corporation, we decided to give Kings a try, and I am so glad we did! The new facility is clean, open, parent friendly and full of bright natural light. The overall feel is modern and inviting, especially after the addition of the coffee bar. There is a decent amount of seating and some tables that us parents can use while the kids are training, this is super helpful for me as I am typically working while my daughter does two or sometimes three hours of training in a row. The staff and head coaches really care about the kids and their experience. They do push the kids to improve and keep learning, which is exactly what I want as a parent. I want my child to be able to improve and not stay stagnant in her education (which is why we switched gyms in the first place). The fellow parents are kind and help to create a "team" feeling despite BJJ being an individual sport. The competition families cheer on their fellow completers and make the long days at the competitions more fun! My favorite part about the kids' program is the wide variety of moves they teach and how they are constantly being pushed and learning. My second is the community that has become more of a family. If you are even considering BJJ or Mauy Thai for your kids, I highly recommend Kings MMA Anaheim as the place to train.

I've been at this gym since 2018. It's literally the best gym in terms of coaching, culture, and value. The coaching is amazing, we have some of the very best coaches. Coach Nolan is an amazing striking coach and he will elevate your striking to the highest levels. The jiu jitsu programs are awesome. In terms of culture, the people and coaches create an environment where you can thrive. It's fun to be there and it caters to any level. If you're a first timer, you'll get taken care of. If you aspire to fight at the highest levels, you'll have coaches and talent to support you. I've made life long friends at this gym, and I'm thankful for it. Now the value... some gyms pin you down with 4 sessions a week or just 1 martial art. At this gym, you get unlimited classes to Gi BJJ, NoGi BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Wrestling, fitness. There's also a recovery room with things like red light therapy, massage boots, vibration plate, sauna, cold plunge, hyperbaric chamber. There's showers, lockers, and there's a coffee bar. Not to mention, a weight training area. So yea, you get way more bang for your buck. Also, if you're looking to fellowship, there's a weekly Bible study on Thursday nights. Open to anyone. I sound biased. And I am. But it's because of my experience at this gym.

I have been training at this gym for over 5 years and it has been an amazing experience from day one. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to make sure techniques are taught correctly and safely. Whether you are a beginner or have years of experience, you will get real attention and guidance here. The atmosphere is welcoming and motivating. Everyone works hard but there is no ego, which makes it a great place to learn and grow. The training partners are solid and the classes are well structured. This gym has helped me improve my skills, conditioning, and confidence over the years. If you are looking for a place to train seriously while being part of a supportive team, I highly recommend it.
