Carillo Muay Thai is the real deal! I started about 6 months ago, and I was nervous my first time going in. All of the students and coaches were nothing but kind to me. Every new student is welcomed with open arms. Coach Carillo is one of the best coaches I have ever had. Super funny, and loves to have a good time, but also explains everything to the perfect detail. 10/10 would recommend to new students!

After not training thai Boxing for over 20 years I finally decided to go back and try again. I was somewhat apprehensive at first but was pleasantly surprised by the level of friendliness and professionalism by the couch and the members. The place is tidy and clean. The coach is truely a character and had great credibility himself and having trained fighters such as Jon Jones and others, yet he has no ego, no attitude and is there to help and answer any question. A truely good person. Highly recommend for both people looking to take it serious and those who are looking for a good solid physical workout. As my old coach used to say, "There is no fit like fight fit". And after being a gym member and palying other sports all my life I can truely attest to this...

100 percent recommend this gym to anyone trying to take up a new combat sport. Coach and everyone in the gym really care to help you get better everyday. No matter what skill level no one is judgmental and everyone tries to help you, so it is a great fit for beginners.

This place is legit 100% authentic Muay Thai. I was a complete beginner and never felt intimidated. Gym is regularly cleaned and a very friendly environment where everyone tries to help each other. Coach Jean is excellent and always preaches how important it is to stick to the basics. He helps you perfect your technique, gives helpful tips, and makes training fun simultaneously. I attend college in ny and I can’t wait to come back next summer

No ego + no attitude as stated on the website embodies the culture of this gym. I travel for work and have the opportunity to visit many gyms. Carrillo Muay Thai stands out! As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by Coach Jean Carrillo himself. After signing the necessary waivers I was straight on the mats. The cleanliness, instruction, students, and coaches were exceptional. There was definitely a family vibe with everyone, veteran students and newbies alike, focused on helping one another improve. During pad rounds, Coach Carrillo was present, attentive, and supportive working with each student to hone technique and highlighting nuances. At the conclusion of the class, Coach Carrillo and the students personally welcomed each new student by name. A welcome doesn’t get any warmer than that. I cannot recommend this gym enough. I will be returning to practice here.

I recently spent about a month in Thailand and decided to watch some of the true Muay Thai fights in the heart of Thailand. I was instantly drawn to the culture and sport and wanted to find a place when I got home to Orange County that has the same qualities and traditions of the Muay Thai I saw in Thailand. I did some research and came across Coach Jean and Carrillo Muay Thai. I am about 4 years out of shape doing no physical activity and no martial arts background so I was quite nervous but wanted to really investigate the sport and art more. The most important thing to me was that it was authentic and not for show. I wanted to make sure the respect for the Thai culture and Muay Thai the way I saw it in Thailand. I went in on a Thursday night to see the gym and talk to Coach Jean. After spending about 30 minutes with him and watching the environment, I thought I would give it a try. I showed up the following morning and got one of the hardest work outs of my life and learned quite a lot about the form and foundation of Muay Thai. I was surprised how involved the coach was, educating and teaching in a very clear, understandable way and giving strategies to immediately implement into training. I am very behind on cardio and stamina but I never felt bad or rushed or pressured, you can push yourself as hard as you want. I was worried about ego's or judgment but I didn't feel that once. I did not want to be part of a gym that would be filled with "tough guy attitudes" but after spending one session in there, I realized these are some of the truly most tough people in the area without the ego or attitude. If you are curious, this is the place to learn or start or get more experience. Personally I am 35 but I saw a kids group the first night I was there, and then a variety of ages when I trained.
