My son has been attending this school for the last four months. He loves the classes. Couch Chris makes sure that everyone in the classes works hard. He not only teaches how to kick and punch, but he also teaches kids how to use your brain with every combination. I like that a lot. I see a lot of improvements in my son’s technique. Really recommend this place for your kiddos.

I've contemplated not giving a review on Yelp because I selfishly love the 11am small class sizes and maybe more reviews would attract a bigger audience...lolIn all honesty, I've gone around trying out different Muay Thai gyms when I was thinking about starting this hobby and the wholesome atmosphere here instantly drew me in. Coaches Chris and Lonnell are amazing at giving you targeted feedback on your technique without overwhelming you with more than you can chew at a time. Plus, it's a killer workout but I always leave feeling amazing.No meathead vibes here either and that was a HUGE selling point for me. Great bunch of people and when the other reviews here say classes here become an addiction, they really aren't lying. Haven't been training here for that long so maybe it's a little premature to say this place feels like a second home, but it truly does.

I came here in July and trained till December with Kru Hom and the great people I've met there. Kru Hom teaches Muay Thai in a way that makes sense for beginners to translate and for advanced to learn more. My footwork, fight IQ and my clinch technique have improved, along with my passion for Muay Thai. Thank you Kru ??

2022 Update: Still here and the new location is a huge upgrade! Excellent coaching and it's evident by their tournament success. Everyone I've run across while here has been friendly. Coach Chris and Jackie are experienced fighters and big on contributing to the community through volunteering time or fundraising. Can't say enough about them. They're modest and genuine.

I attended the woman's group today and Nikki. the coach did an awesome job teaching us. Her combo is easy to follow. especially since I haven't done it for a while. It was so nice to see. all the young women who were there to train also, they were amazing , accommodating and pleasant. It is inspiring to see women who are empowered to take care of themselves and know how to defend themselves.

Both my kids attend here and they LOVE IT! The coaches really know how to get and keep the kids attention. They have progressed so much in such little time. My kids do a lot of afterschool activities, but this is one of their favorites and ask if they can go everyday. LOL

Chris and Jackie are my old teammates at @WorldTeamUSA of San Francisco! World Team USA is an elite MMA Academy. Under Kru Sam P. their lineage runs deep in traditional Muay Thai from Thailand! They both have the Muay Thai march and Ram Muay camp ring blessings! And also Muay Boran! I believe that they are Green Satch or higher! Green satch is a competitor ranking. I’ve watch them both compete since 2006-2007! Chris is an extreme striker! Trust me I’ve seen him strike! They actually meet at the academy and prospered together and grew a beautiful family! Chris also has heritage in other martial arts and Lion Dancing! Jackie is a wonderful young lady, that I was fearful of sparring! Lol. Drop in and I’m sure they would give you a free class or two or three! ?????❤️❤️❤️

I really love this gym! I'm here almost everyday, and the days I'm not, I miss it. Muay Thai is truly an addiction, but when you have a good coach who creates an encouraging culture it makes it more than just a gym. It makes it a community to learn and sweat (like a lot, so be prepared!) The gym is small and cozy, but I think that's why I love it so much. You get to know people pretty well when you're catching their kicks and punches in an enclosed space. I also love the vibe with other people who come here. It makes it less scary, and more inviting to learn from others (especially if they have a different height and experience level.) That's another thing I love about this gym. People can come in regardless of whatever experience they have in their background. I feel like I can go at my own pace. At first, I started coming in because I wanted to feel more confident in self-defense. But I never thought I'd be 10+ lbs. lighter (and shedding more because of the cardio) and feel more confident in other areas of my self-image! So now, I feel confident enough to look into competing! So try it out for yourself, you never know!

Chris and Jackie have been such amazing coaches for my boys that even my nephew decided to join. They’re kids program is so good the boys insisting on going 5 days a week! They have great hours for kids... Monday and Wednesday @ 4pm or Tuesday and Thursday @ 5pm, and Saturday’s at 9am. Highly recommend them!!

Ascend Muay Thai instruction is high level, very friendly and welcome team, with a great variety of belts training of every level. I found the cardio level of the people training to be very high level as most of the people are doing Muay Thai. They have class Monday to Saturday. I really love Ascend Muay Thai!!!!!!
