Cannot say enough good things about Tran's! I've always wanted to try martial arts/MMA but never worked up the nerve to start - I'm 30 and had literally never been to a gym in my life, working out always seemed too intimidating. I'm so glad that I went for it - the Muay Thai classes at Tran's are now the highlight of my week. Kru Allison and Kru Z are so welcoming and knowledgable, and you can tell the moment you walk in how much respect they have for the sport, their students, and their dojo. All of the other students are supportive and friendly and it really feels like a community. And the classes are fun, intense, and the best workout you will ever have. If you are at all interested in trying MMA, go for it and try a class here! And, a special call out to any women who are interested but maybe a little nervous to start - we have a great, supportive group of women in Muay Thai classes right now who attend regularly, and Kru Allison is passionate about getting more women into MMA and has done an amazing job of making sure that we feel not just welcome at the dojo, but also inspired, confident, and strong in the sport!

Both of my kids (9 and 11) have been going here for several years now. They have made huge strides no only in their martial arts and self defense skills, but also in their fitness, confidence and, development good humans. I can't say enough good things about Kru Z and Kru Allison. They have an obvious passion that translates into their teaching and class management. 10 stars!

We have loved attending Tran's. Our oldest has been attending for just over 4 years and our youngest will be attending soon as well. They work so well with the kids and do great at motivating them to focus and do their best.They emphasize the importance of self discipline and self control but in a flexible and light hearted way that kids can appreciate, not resent.

I can say that being a part of this dojo has been life changing for me. I started here not long ago, after a random assualt while out walking one night that shook my confidence and made me realize how unprepared I was for certain situations. Even in a bigger class I feel like I'm getting individual attention from the instructors to make sure that I'm doing the moves correctly and effectively. They care about the success of each of their students and are some of the most encouraging and kind people I've encountered. The Krav Maga classes will teach you valuable self defense skills, and the Transfit and Kickboxing classes are just tough enough and incredibly rewarding. I've gained my confidence back (plus some), and my motivation and self discipline has increased since becoming a student here. I HIGHLY recommend this place.

Excellent program and instructors. My children enjoy their time in class and have fun, they are proud of the achievements they earn in class. Core to the class is that the instructors work to instill self-discipline, respect and hard work in the students - and set the expectation that students should demonstrate these values at home, in school and in the dojo.

Jennifer McGuireI cannot recommend Trans Martials Arts highly enough! My daughter began the "Little Dragons" program 18 months ago, and the positive effect it has had on her--mind, body and spirit--is undeniable. My children have participated dozens of sports/activities over many years, and I can say without hestitation that the Little Dragons program is the best "activity" investment we have made. Master Tran and Kru Logevall are THE most present teachers and positive influences that any child could have. Our "spirited" child works so hard to make the right choices both in the dojo AND at home so that she can bask in Master Tran's and Kru's praise. They celebrate when children show respect, resilience, focus, and generosity toward others. All of this emphasis on developing strong character traits takes place within a fun, energetic, and SILLY environment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic unpended all of our lives, our family has cut back on our children's activities. Little Dragons in the singular activity that we have continued with because, simply put, Master Tran and Kru are integral to our child's development. Moreover, we are thrilled that our child has the option to participate outdoors to minimize exposure to COVID so that she doesn't have to part ways with her favorite teachers.

Just started coming a little over a month ago. Never done martial arts before in my life. Really like the environment. Everyone is very welcoming and encouraging. The variety of classes is perfect for me and I'm really happy when I leave. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to get into martial arts or with lots of experience.

Tran's Martial Arts is a fantastic place to learn, get in shape, gain confidence, and be a part of a community. I had zero experience with martial arts, or even going to the gym, before I began taking classes here, but right from the beginning they were welcoming and supportive. I've been attending classes for over two years now and am so thankful I decided to join. Master Tran, Kru, and all the instructors are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and invested in helping their students. Whether you are totally new to martial arts like I was, or an experienced nak muay, I cannot recommend Tran's Martial Arts enough.
