Tiger Smalls Boxing

I started here 3 years ago. I started out taking a break every 5 minutes. I was 180lb, I have sickle cell trait, and im in my mid 30's. I am now in the best shape of my life and despite having a disadvantage with sickle cell trait, I am now competing, something I never thought I could do especially in my 30's. This gym is very friendly and everyone works to help each other. If your looking for a gym with goals like competing, building stamina, learning self defense, relieving stress and or have many flexible hours to work out at your convenience, this is the place.

This has been an amazing experience, the coaches are brilliant and professional at all times, they dignify the martial arts and self development every step of the way, I highly recommend joining and finding the best in you with the lessons

Awesome location. Amazing staff. Always helpful and friendly. Huge facility is well-maintained. Several classes and price options to choose from. They are more than willing to work with you if you have questions. These guys have taken great care of me. Get your butt in the gym and get to work! Ladies, this means you too! The gym is female friendly. Very safe and professional staff and environment. 🥊🥊

I just moved to San Diego and visited a lot of MMA gyms. This is by far the cleanest, friendliest, most well-equipped one that I visited. The instructors are all fighters with years of experience. They just opened, but they're hitting the ground running with amazing ideas on how to make the gym better. I'm looking forward to being a part of their growth. I recommend them to anyone interested in fighting, getting stronger or just looking for a fun way to lose weight.

There are good coaches in this world, and then there are GREAT coaches! Coach Ronnie Labella is one of those Great coaches, which is why I travel over 20 miles to have my 7 year old daughter learn Jiu-Jitsu from him. If you were to take your favorite childhood teacher, a professional Jiu-Jitsu athlete, an Olympic Coach that majored in child developmental psychology (like Michael Phelp's Coach) and toss them into a blender, you would create Coach Ronnie Labella! My daughter LOVES learning from coach Ronnie and I'm willing to bet that your child will too! I taught competitive swimming for over 10 years to children and I would pay over $400 every year to attend conferences, in order to learn from coaches that competed at the State, National and Olympic level. Coach Ronnie has many of the attributes those accomplished coaches have, e.g. vast knowledge, effective communication, passion, great listening skills, patience, empathy, and the ability to inspire and let his athletes know that he cares about how they feel on and off the Jiu-Jitsu mat. So if you want your child to learn from a coach that focuses on increasing self confidence, genuinely listens and makes children feel valued, effectively communicates and helps young athletes master proper Jiu-Jitsu technique, then you would put your child in coach Ronnie's class today! P.S. Both my daughter and I are very fortunate and grateful for having found coach Ronnie. The only thing more powerful than his Jiu-Jitsu submissions, is his level of kindness and ability to be an incredible and positive role model to this world!
