*More than happy to correct this review if the owners want to reply* Update: It looks like they did reply but for some reason they deleted it, as it is no longer visible even in incognito mode. So stay tuned I guess? Two stars because they don't give you any pricing on their website and instead ask that you contact them for more information by giving them your contact information. The Bay Area is already comically expensive to live in and obviously we all need to pay the bills, these folks included. But to have such little faith in potential clients that you have to hide your pricing crosses a line for me. To me, this is a predatory way to get people's contact data and semi-force you to sign-up for marketing emails. Furthermore, if you can’t line up 5 gyms side-by-side in a spreadsheet, they’ve succeeded in keeping you in a fog long enough to get you in the door. I just cant imagine what would make their studio so 'special' that they didn't think it necessary to include pricing REGARDLESS of how great the studio might be.

I went to this gym for the first time and was blown away! The instructors were welcoming, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable right away. Great mix of training and fun. Left feeling motivated and excited to come back. Highly recommend for anyone curious about martial arts!

I have been a member for over 7 years now, and I can honestly say that it has changed my life in ways I never thought possible. Not only have they helped me become a better martial artist, but they have also helped me become a better person overall. Being a part of Fightcraft has opened doors for me that I never thought I could open. I have had the opportunity to compete in tournaments, attend seminars with world-renowned martial artists, and even become an instructor myself. The most significant aspect of being a member is the sense of family and community that it provides. The trainers and members have become like a second family to me, always there to support, encourage, and push me to be the best version of myself. The camaraderie and sense of belonging that I feel when I walk through the doors of the gym are truly invaluable and make all the hard work and sweat worth it. Overall, I am incredibly grateful for everything Fightcraft has done for me. I cannot imagine where I would be without them and I look forward to many more years of growth and success with this amazing gym!

Came in one day to tour the place and ended up taking a sparring class that day and I loved it. They have a beginners program meant to teach you the basics which not all places do. The classes are meant to be challenging enough to push you to get better and want to get better all while learning fighting techniques that you can apply in competitions. Coach Pat has helped me improve so much this past year, and made me feel more confident in myself as I tend to doubt my abilities. In class he is good at motivating all those around them and helping them grow but still making classes fun. Once in a while he will do classes along side the rest of us. He was just once a student who took classes and now he is coach and mentor doesn’t get more inspiring than that. The gym offers different levels of classes and many classes during the week that make it so that you can make classes in the mornings, evenings and even mid day. The coaches know everyone’s names and the people make it feel like community. The upper belts are always nice helping when help is needed. The owner Josh not only a great sense of humor but is passionate about the content being taught. He is consistently walking around making sure that everyone is understanding the technique and if they he’s taking time to help students out. They also offer BJJ classes with coach Elias in the mornings and evenings. From beginners to purple belts he shapes the classes so it’s split to fit everyone’s needs. He leads by example, a coach that competes and empowers his students to do the same all while being friendly and welcoming whether it’s your first time, or you fell off, or your experienced. Definitely try his class at least once you won’t regret it. He might just come to kickboxing classes and personally invite those who haven’t. Lastly, they have a place to put your bag, a place for you to put your water and shoes, 2 bathrooms and a shower that’s separate from the bathrooms which makes it easy if you need to shower and go to work. The mats get cleaned every day and they preach cleanliness. So if you made it this far you have to go take a class or at least a tour of the gym.

Josh and the Fightcraft team have done a great job of having group classes and 1:1 training where you get an awesome workout and learn MMA fundamentals. I’ve been working with Josh (owner) for a few years now and he is very kind and passionate about teaching MMA fundamentals for anyone and everyone! Facility is clean and spacious! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
