Been going to rise for over a year now. Love the coaching staff and people. They're helpful, funny, knowledgeable and willing to take you as far as they can based on the work you put in. Built a second family through Muay Thai

I only did an intro class, but it was awesome. Bunkerd is a pro and I was lucky to have gotten to take a class with him. The 2 class teachers helping him out were incredibly awesome too, like Bunkerd they were super nice, super helpful and very welcoming. I highly recommend giving it a try if you’re curious about getting into Muay Thai.

Best gym for Muay Thai in SF imo. The fight team has a solid stack of savages if you want to compete and really push yourself. But at the same time everyone's friendly and welcoming. Coaching vibe is friendly, chill, no-ego and they let everyone can go at their own pace. Def recommend regardless of skill level. Good mix of beginners & experienced classes.

Hardy gym with real fighters and training. Trainers have an experienced eye with things. I was pulled aside individually and told all of my flaws in stance etc. this shocked me because it was very generous and also it showed they care, this is as someone who drops in every few months so for that I give five stars
