I went to this gym last summer and absolutely enjoyed my time with everyone there. I had never trained Muay Thai before in my life, and although it was nerve-wracking getting thrown into the fray, the patience and aid from Coach Clint and Coach Carlos were so invaluable to my first step into a martial art. Energetic environment, awesome people, and some very brutal amazing workouts and training going on here. Hope to come back soon!
