  Learned more in 3 months at Arena than I did in 3 years at my previous gym. I’m pretty un-athletic but after training for 3 months at The Arena, I was able to compete (and win) in my amateur MMA debut. I credit it all to my coaches and training partners at Arena. Not only are the coaches world-class, they genuinely care about the success and well-being of their students. Countless times, my coaches went out of their way to help teach me things that I was struggling with. On top of that my training partners were top-notch, consistently pushing me to the next level. Everyone seems to share the same goal of learning and growing. The result is a strong community with a tradition of winning. I cannot say enough good things about The Arena. It’s by far the best gym and community I’ve ever been a part of.

  The Arena is a wondeful gym that leaves you feelig satisfied after every workout class. It’s definitely a positive environment and the instructors are more than helpful and teach you so much about discipline! I appreciate that their classes are scheduled throughout the day which makes it easier for someone who schedules vary. Definitely worth getting a membership if you are planning to be fit and stay in shape!

  This gym is a great positive environment, clean, huge, and all equipment new... unlike many MMA gyms. Kru Mark is my Muay Thai instructor, and after one class with him it was apparent this gym was something special. After training with him for over a year, my strength and striking skills are at an all time high. This was also the only gym that had a class schedule that matched my busy life. Most days classes start at 6am to 9pm, leaving me ample opportunities to go in and train. All other coaches and students I've met at the gym have been great, and I find myself everyday looking forward to training at The Arena.

  Best gym in San Diego, hands down. No one else is even close. From the quality of the training and coaches to the overall vibe and friendliness to the honesty and integrity of everything The Arena does. If you're serious about learning from true masters of their craft, this is the best choice. Also, you will find a true brotherhood here, which is rare indeed. But if you're not the type to train hard or you want something for nothing, then go look elsewhere. This is a real place for real fighters or those who truly want to learn the arts.

  As a first time student in MMA, The Arena welcomed me with a free trial to see their classes and what they offer. I must say I was beyond impressed during my first day and felt very welcomed by the coaches, staff, and members of the gym. Since the first day I started, everyone in the gym is always willing to help one another. The coaches instruct the class as a whole and walk around to further explain and instruct techniques. Overall, if you come here with a positive attitude and ready to learn, you will find this gym to be the option for you. Whether you're here to compete or just here to learn the sport, The Arena coaches, staff, and members treat you with much respect. With that being said, I'm beyond 100% satisfied with my decision in joining The Arena.
