A really great gym with great energy and vibes. Probably the first BJJ gym I have been to that had a ton of women in the classes, all super nice and competent. Really clean facility with knowledgable instructors. It has a great culture and everyone is really friendly, so I didn't feel out of place at all in my first classes.

Tai Kai has been a great time for me. I started going mostly for the Muay Thai but I am now also doing BJJ. All the coaches that have worked with me have been extremely helpful. I had no prior experience In any martial art before hand and the classes they provide were easy for me as a beginner to understand.

Edit/Update: Almost a decade later and I still feel every word I wrote in my original review. Tai Kai is so much more than a place to work out and get in shape. Sure, Tai Kai offers excellent Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, Muay Thai and other classes... and it's filled with so many knowledgeable teachers and instructors. But more than that, it's a family, a home, a place to find encouragement and a place to find acceptance. I'm so happy to have found this place, trying my first class was the best decision I've ever made.

I've been going to Tai Kai for some time now and it's easily the best MMA dojo I've ever been to. The environment is friendly, the instructors are patient but thorough, the other students are very encouraging and there's a lot of camaraderie. I recommend it to everybody.
