Lucha Underground Arena
About
Lucha Underground Arena offers training in MMA and wrestling disciplines within a distinctive industrial warehouse setting in Los Angeles. The gym provides a unique training environment that has attracted attention beyond traditional martial arts circles, with members noting its use for professional wrestling photography, music videos, and television productions like Robot Combat League. This versatile space combines functional training areas with the raw aesthetic of exposed I-beams and concrete elements that create an authentic backdrop for both training and media projects.
Members experience a gym that balances serious combat sports training with creative flexibility. Reviewers frequently mention specific wrestlers like Fénix, Prince Puma, Penta, and Phoenix, suggesting a strong connection to professional wrestling culture and high-caliber athletes. The facility's industrial nature means members should be aware of occasional maintenance concerns, with one reviewer noting falling debris, but most emphasize the space's impressive scale and character. For those needing specialized setups, the gym offers substantial electrical capacity with multiple breaker boxes providing 20-amp and 30-amp circuits, though proper planning for lighting rigs or generator use is recommended for complex productions.
The training environment appeals to both serious martial artists and media professionals seeking authentic combat sports settings. Members consistently praise the gym's unique atmosphere and the quality of wrestling talent associated with the venue, creating a community that celebrates both athletic excellence and the distinctive Lucha Underground brand. While the industrial setting requires some practical awareness, the overall experience combines functional training facilities with the excitement of a venue that has hosted notable wrestling events and television productions.

Solid space for filming. Plenty of power though it's not very well labeled and the staff thinks they have more circuits than they actually do in some spots. But the ones they do have are some 30 amp in key spots and then a butt load of 20amps near the 4-5 breaker boxes spread around the compound. If you are dropping lights outside the windows you may want a generator or have several hundred foot stingers. As for rigging get a scissor lift or a condor. There are tons of places to grip to on the Ibeams
