My son went there last week. He trained with Coach Anthony and had a blast! The lesson was reassuringly technical and well-structured. They spent most of the class working on the roundhouse kick first focusing on technique, with Coach Anthony circulating around the class to correct everyone’s posture and form, offering individual feedback and encouragement. Later, they moved on to strength training using pads, which really brought energy and excitement to the session. My son left the class motivated and can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend this class

I’ve been training at The Mango Tree since I was 15 years old (I’m 23 now). I started in the Foundations program with zero martial arts experience and was immediately hooked. Whether your goal is to fight, improve your technique, or just get a solid sweat in, I highly, highly recommend checking out The Mango Tree, they truly have something for everyone. Since joining, I’ve moved away for college and then again for work on the mainland, but every time I come home I make it a priority to train at The Mango Tree. Kru Rich and Coach Bernice have built such a strong, motivating, family-oriented culture that no matter how much they grow or how many new locations they open, the environment and class quality never change. Kru Rich is genuinely one of the sharpest minds in the Muay Thai community. It’s special to learn from him, and he’s done an incredible job investing in his coaching team so they’re a true extension of his knowledge. I’ve had the opportunity to sit in on a few of his coaches’ meetings over the years, and I can personally vouch for how much time, care, and intention he and Coach Bernice put into developing their staff. Every coach is battle-tested, and they have helped all of them go train in Thailand to bring back the most authentic Muay Thai. If you’re a woman looking to get in shape, find a supportive community, or learn Muay Thai, please talk to Coach Bernice. She has built amazing women’s programs and will listen to your goals and help build a plan that fits you. And if you have kids, please check out the kids’ classes. I assisted in teaching these classes before I moved off-island, and I have seen first hand how these programs help kids learn discipline, self-defense, and how to work with others. The confidence that these kids develop overtime is also incredible to watch. The Mango Tree isn’t just a gym, it’s a home, a community, and hands down the best place to learn Muay Thai in Hawaii. I can’t recommend it enough

The Mango Tree Fitness is truly the best place to train Muay Thai on the island! The atmosphere is so positive — the coaches are kind, supportive, and always ready to help. The equipment is excellent, and the whole setup is just perfect for training. I especially want to thank Coach Anthony for all the guidance with my stance and kicks, and for being such an inspiring and motivating coach. This week was unforgettable — I had an absolute blast training with everyone. Thank you so much, i cant wait to comeback next time !

I loved my experience at Mango Tree Fitness! Such kind staff, challenging but fun classes, and a really inclusive and welcoming community. So grateful to have found this gym before my trip to Thailand! This will definitely be my home gym when I move back to Hawaii soon ◡̈

Great gym for beginners or experienced fighters. Atmosphere of hard work. They provide gloves and other gear if you need. Had only few classes during my vacation but learned a lot of new things. Each class different combinations and drills. With my boxing background it was easy to start catching up, especially with coach Anthony’s guidance. Before my first class met Ryan at the front desk who was really helpful with gym introduction, gear and explained in details about parking and everything else. Will try to come back for longer period when next time in Honolulu.
