I’ve been training with Dave and Joe since before they even opened CMA, and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown the gym. Their attention to detail and the way they run things really set the tone, and you can see it in the coaches they’ve developed — Xyler, Brandon, Tina, and Eric have all leveled up not just as fighters but as instructors too. Being at this gym has gotten me through some rough times, including losing family, and Dave and Joe were incredibly supportive throughout it all. Training here has kept me grounded and sharp — especially since I also compete regularly as a dancer. The energy at CMA is always solid, and it’s a space built by people who genuinely care about you and your growth. Definitely one of the best places to train and be part of a real community.
Terrible coach attitude, he wasn’t friendly at all and didn’t let me train because I was too « beginner ». I then asked why it is stated on the website, "just arrive 5 minutes before any class" which he then got agitated about.
Xyler is an incredible Muay Thai instructor! Every session is challenging, motivating. He takes time to break things down clearly and pushes you to improve while keeping it fun and supportive. I’ve learned so much and always leave class feeling stronger and more confident. Highly recommend training with him if you want real progress and great energy!
Look no more, this is an amazing gym. If you want to learn, grow and improve, this is the place for that. As a soccer coach and school teacher myself, I can tell you that the instructors are what top tier coaches/mentors/teachers should be. They are masters of their craft. I admire and have learned so much from Coach Dave & Joe (along with Coach Xyler, Eric, Brandon). They've held me down the past 3 years and I don't plan on going anywhere else. You'll be in great hands. From the coaches to the community, CMA all day!
California Martial Arts has been a fantastic place for my daughter to learn Muay Thai. The fact that they offer classes for kids three days a week has provided her with a consistent and engaging learning experience. She’s been having a blast exploring different styles and techniques, making each session not only educational but also fun. The instructors’ commitment to creating a positive and enjoyable environment is evident, and it’s reassuring to see my daughter thriving and enjoying her martial arts journey at California Martial Arts.
