Carrillo Muay Thai - Thai Boxing - Kick Boxing City of Orange, Santa Ana. Orange County

Best gym in orange county hands down. I recommend Everyone give it a try, you will not regret it. I always leave this gym feeling amazing and like I accomplished my goals of getting a little bit better every class. Once again I highly recommend to everyone.

Coach Carillo is great coach for those who don't have any athletic background. I came to this Gym over 1 year ago with no experience and within the first 6 months I was extremely impressed by the improvement in my technique, speed, and power. This gym is great for everyone and is filled with loads of incredible people who are always willing to help you.

Coach Jean is a knowledgeable and highly capable coach. I trained at CMT for only 4 months and returned to my old Muay Thai gym where everyone was surprised at how much my technique had improved. Coach Jean was able to work with my individual abilities and provide just the right technical education for my needs. CMT is truly a family and not just a gym. Nowhere else will you find police officers, ex-criminals, rich folks, poor folks, people of all different colors, cultures, and languages working together to have fun learning the beautiful art of Thai Boxing. Anyone interested in learning authentic Muay Thai from Thailand should check this place out.

Amazing gym with very friendly people. This is my first contact sport ever and it has an excellent experience. Coach’s views of no ego and no attitude makes the environment very welcoming and a great place to train. The pricing is fair to other gyms but what is best is the fact that no entry fees and no contracts are included. Every type of level fighter train here which makes it a very good gym to train at. The best part is Coach Carrillo. What makes him great is the fact that he’s very involved with his students. His if very thorough with his teachings, watches his students and walks us through the techniques. You have to come and try a session because it is a great place to train. Hope this helps.

I started going to Carrillo Muay Thai about two months ago and I love it! I have no previous experience in Muay Thai and didn’t know what to expect. I felt very welcome and it’s definitely a family like community! Coach Jean really cares about his students and is really passionate about Muay Thai. He’s very knowledgeable and would never make us do something he wouldn’t do himself. The gym is always clean and it’s a great environment to grow and learn in! I’ve learned so much in my short time there not only in Muay Thai but things I could takeaway and apply in my life!

I have previous martial arts experience but have never joined or tried an authentic Muay Thai gym. That said, It is very nerve racking to walk into your first Muay Thai gym. Last night I decided to email Coach Jean about checking out his gym and he text me back right away and he immediately made me feel welcome before I even showed up to the gym. I showed up the next day to his 10am class and immediately felt at home. Their motto “no ego-no attitude” is true as everyone welcomed me into the family. Everyone is respected at this gym. We are all there to learn and teach one another. The gym is extremely clean with a great set up. We all clean the pads used after our workout. Everything you need for Muay Thai you will find in the gym. Most importantly, Coach Jean is a legend and I found out right away his knowledge is unexplainable. His attention to the small details to sharpen your tools is truly fascinating and incredible. A Special thanks to Coach Jean for welcoming me to the family. I found my new Muay Thai home at Carillo Muay Thai. 🙏💪👊🇺🇸

If I could give this gym more stars I would!Ill break it down nice and simple. Carrillo Muay Thai is a place with no ego and no attitude!! Usually people have trouble at other gyms because of rude people thinking they are better than everyone. But not here. This gym is the most welcoming of them all and every student respects each other. Super friendly!! So leave the intimidation at home because Carrillo Muay Thai is about loving the fighting style of all 8 limbs.Cleanness of the gym is incredible ! Never have I ever been to such a clean and sanitized gym before.Now, myself who has never trained before just started couple months ago and let me tell you that I have improved so drastically in my fighting techniques. Not only have I improve in my fighting and defensive skills but Carrilo Muay Thai has also been my main reason why I have lost almost 18 pounds within couple months!Finally, the best of the best is Coach Jean Carrillo! What makes this gym so unique and connected is this Coach!!! Coach Carrillo connects with each of his students, inspires , dedicates, and commits! Every single gym session I always learn something new. It's incredible how much of experience he has. Coach Carrillo welcomes anyone who is willing to love this style of fighting and I promise you... you will love this guy!When I first started he guaranteed me that if I committed to this gym that I would be a "beast" as he quoted. Well today I can say that I really feel powerful emotionally and physically ! Thanks to Coach Carrillo.I recommend this gym to anyone that feels they want a positive change in their lives. To better their self esteem, to better their physically strength, and most importantly to better themselves as a whole !

Discovering this gym changed my life ! Coach I adore you , the coaches , the gym and the community you have built . I just had knee surgery and needed to change things up and in my healing process I discovered that everything I learned in the Bay Area WAS WRONG . It’s so important to find a coach/trainer that’s certified in anatomy because is makes a tremendous difference not to mention the damage you can be doing to your body if not trained correctly . Coach has given me tools to better my health and has helped me tremendously on my road to recovery . We focused on what I could do and not what I couldn’t and he encouraged me to pace my self at all times , but at the same time knows exactly when to push me . This place truly is exactly what it advertises. No ego and the entire community welcomed me with open arms offering support and encouragement . Coach Jean , These fighters are no joke ! You really know what you are doing and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me on my journey . This place is amazing and I am so grateful I joined this gym . Thank you so much 🤗

I just went to this gym to "check it out" as other reviewers mentioned. This guy named Roy, comes and tells me that it's a private gym and that I can't just observe the gym in action. This is not a joke, he says that without an appointment no one is allowed to just watch. Ok, now I'm not new to martial arts gyms, but I've never been told that one needs an appointment to see how the gym is. Unbelievable. The management of this gym needs to do a better job training it's staff not just in martial arts, but on customer service. On a side note, this gym smelled horribly, it has poor ventilation. Added to that the poor attitude towards potential trainees, I would definitely not recommend this gym.

BACKGROUND: I've never taken a Muay Thai class before nor do I have ANY martial arts background. ZERO experience.I wanted to become stronger and well equipt to defend myself if I ever needed to. So, I looked around for Muay Thai gyms in my area and found CMT.First class I ever took was a Thursday sparring class. Mind you, I am 5 ft tall (really 4'11) with no background in sparring EVER! Coach Jean joked around telling me to go easy on people which calmed my nerves a little. What really put me at ease was the willingness of others to help me out. Everyone was giving me pointers which helped a TON. You will get hit, so be prepared. Bruises are a free gift--as Coach Jean says:)Classes are NOT easy. You will get worked out. Guaranteed. Jump rope 5 min, pads with a partner, and then end with sparring. It's not your Body Combat at 24 Hr fitness. Conversations are rated PG13+ so come with tough skin!Coach Jean and the crew are AWESOME!! You will learn A LOT, but only if you put the effort in. ASK QUESTIONS! No one here is gonna judge--they'll throw some jokes at you, but it's all in good fun--everyone is always willing to help.I've been coming here for less than 2 months and I already feel like I am part of the family. It has built up my confidence and strength so much that I am always ready to jump into a battle if I have to.
