I’ve tried a few Muay Thai and kickboxing gyms in the area, and this one is hands down the best. Coach Aalon is incredibly passionate about what he does, and it truly shows in every class. He’s attentive, knowledgeable, and actually takes the time to correct your form so you can improve safely and effectively — no getting lost in the crowd here. What sets this gym apart is the family atmosphere. Everyone is welcoming and supportive, and there are even monthly gatherings that make you feel like you’re part of a community, not just another membership. If you’re looking for high-quality training, real coaching, and a positive environment that pushes you to be better, this is the place. Highly recommend.

Its an awesome experience training at Tribe Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing. The atmosphere is laid-back, fun, and genuinely welcoming, which makes it a great place to learn and grow. The instructor is extremely detail-oriented and encouraging, taking the time to make sure everyone understands the techniques while still keeping classes engaging. It’s an especially great environment for beginners—you feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and improving at your own pace. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to train in a supportive, positive setting.

I’ve been training in martial arts since I was 6 years old, and it’s been a big part of my life well into my 20s. Like many of us, life eventually pulled me in different directions, and getting back into consistent training became more challenging. Over the years, I’ve tried a few gyms here and there, but I never quite found one that felt like home until Tribe. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was different. Aalon has the perfect balance of experience, patience, and genuine care for his students, which is a rare quality in martial arts instructors. Whether you’re a beginner or getting back into it after years away, he makes you feel comfortable while still pushing you to grow. The environment at Tribe truly lives up to its name. Everyone is welcoming, motivated, and eager to learn. It’s been refreshing to find a place that not only focuses on skill but also builds community. I’m genuinely excited to be part of the tribe that Aalon is creating.

Amazing gym, amazing coach, and amazing students! I've been training here since they opened and trained under Aalon for over 9 months and it's always been such an awesome experience. I've been doing martial arts my whole life and Aalon is one of the best coaches I've ever trained with, I've never not learned anying from him. The gym is great, beginner friendly but still a blast for those with experience. And all the other students I've worked with have been super kind and helpful. If you're looking for a workout, new skill, or just a new MMA gym, come to Tribe!

Tribe has a special energy!! Training with Coach Aalon isn’t just about getting in shape — it’s about learning your body, building confidence, and growing alongside good people. The environment is focused but welcoming, the kind that makes you want to show up and get better. Aalon teaches with real intention. He breaks things down clearly, meets you where you are, and pushes you in a way that feels solid, not forced. Every session feels like progress — physically and mentally. If you want a place with good vibes, real coaching, and a community that actually supports your growth, Tribe is it!
