Well-rounded gym with talented coaches and awesome facility! When I first joined the gym, Brock Dias was working, and he was very welcoming and gave me a rundown of the gym policy. He's also a collegiate wrestler that teaches a really great, beginner-friendly wrestling class. Also, I checked out the cardio kickboxing and No Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes. All the instructors were super fun, knowledgeable, and welcoming. I've been to multiple gyms in Orange County and other parts of California. Team Oyama is by far my favorite gym. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone - beginner or advanced.

Im only going to speak on the kickboxing classes. I havent tried their sparring or grappling classes but This isnt your normal cardio class where you hit the bag a few times and go home. they will empty your tank, you will be fatigued and you will be punching and kicking the bag until your arms and legs fall off, your clothes will be drench with sweat every session. The sessions were amazing, They would empty my tank on the bag with a combination like a 1-2 or a specific kick over and over and we would move right back into pad work and back onto bags, completely working the whole body and mind. I’ve trained at multiple MMA gyms and I can confidently say these kickboxing classes are not for hobbyist, they will train you like you’re a professional kickboxer and striker going into a fight. I cant speak highly enough of how tough, rigorous, and intense the pad work and bag work here for the kixkboxing classes is.
