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

Carillo Muay Thai is an awesome place to learn Muay Thai! The classes were structured great with excellent technique. The instructor jean is very knowledgeable and has a genuine passion towards teaching and sharing Muay Thai. The environment was also great everyone was really welcoming. I’d definitely recommend coming here to learn the art of 8 limbs !

First Class at CMT and I feel like I am hooked already! I tried looking around at a few gyms and didn't have the same excitement that I did after leaving CMT. I am a total beginner with no background in Muay Thai but everyone there welcomed me with open arms and showed me the ropes. This is not a cardio class by any means! Technique oriented but don't get me wrong, if you go hard from start to finish you will get one hell of a workout. Coach Jean is a great guy and I cant wait to see what I will be able to learn in his class!

Great class! I just had my first Muay Thai class tonight and I loved it! I almost fainted after the warmup. Coach Jean handed me a bottle of Coke and I was fine five minutes later. Such a nice coach! I had no previous experience on kickboxing, but I ve learned some great moves already after the first class. Coach Jean corrected my moves throughout the entire class session. The workouts were intense, but my training partner was very patient. I felt welcomed. Good vibes! I am planning to attend at least 3 to 4 sessions per week starting next week.Come and join the class, you will definitely have a good time!

Attended my first class this morning and can't wait to go back! I have no boxing or fighting experience and I was intimidated to attend a Muay Thai class (especially as a woman, mom of 2). But Coach Jean and the other members made me feel immediately welcomed into the family and I was very comfortable. Everyone was joking and having a good time, but Coach Jean's classes will kick your a$$! I could tell my kicks and punches were getting better and stronger throughout the class, and Coach Jean was right there to help make sure I was doing the proper technique. Super clean and bright facility, and I was sweating like crazy--amazing work out! Give it a try and you'll be hooked!

I have been to many gyms through my travels in the LA area and Jean Carrillo is by far the best ! He is very passionate and extremely knowledgeable in the art of Muay Thai. From his attention to details to his emphasis on great foundations and basics he runs a great muah Thai and boxing program. I strongly recommend anyone who is really passionate and want to learn what Muay Thai really is, please do yourself a favor and train with Jean Carrillo. The gym is very welcoming and everyone one showed great camaraderie. Come check it out!

Coach Jean is one of the most passionate Muay Thai coaches that I have ever met. As he coaches, he will pay attention to everyone ans not just a certain individual or group. When explaining a technique, he never ignores the small details because it's what makes the biggest difference. I've been doing Muay Thai for about a year now and I've lost 60 pounds just from his gym. Aside from the coach himself, the environment at the gym is very friendly and lively. Everyone gets along well and there is no ego or attitude. I couldn't ask for a better coach or gym.

First time at the gym, and I already know it's something I'm committing to long term. I can say this because for me, first impressions are everything! The overall feel and vibe of the gym from initially walking in, is very very well kept and clean. But it's also a place for hardwork, sweat, and camaraderie among Coach Jean and his peers. Coach Jean and everyone really emphasized no matter your level of skill or training experience, they welcome it all. No ego in the gym and the purity in the martial art of Muay Thai is what Coach Jean has preached since my 1st phone conversation with him. This stood very true to the way he ran his session. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to learn the true art of Muay Thai. I know I've only been to a session so take this review for what it's worth. Otherwise try and see for yourself!

I wanted to learn Muay Thai and carllios gym is an awesome environment . The teqnique is on point and I would love to continue to train and the coach Jean is a great gym he shows you every detail and why not to do something because it can effect you. The people are really nice and have their own style so when they spar it’s amazing because it’s not just scraping it’s all skills and you get hit with proper movement so If your looking for a gym this is the right one for Muay Thai 😎

BACKGROUND: I have never done Muay Thai, never kicked a pad nor sparred.I solely joined this gym because I wanted to learn how to defend myself, learn how to fight if I ever needed to and to boost my confidence as well as make me stronger. I wanted to challenge myself to my limit. I came blindly with no experience in any Martial Art. I called Coach Jean one day during my lunch break at work and we talked and he was straight forward that this isn’t your typical 24HR fitness gym nor a cardio class. This is Muay Thai! I went to check it out after work and instantly knew what I getting myself into but also the energy and students were very welcoming that I knew I was going to like it. My first day was “sparring day” (I didn’t know so you can already imagine how I felt) I’m some skinny dude with no experience about to spar with some killers & not knowing anything but it all went well. Got a little black eye no biggie (: but I had fun and loved it. We don’t sugarcoat anything at CMT. You will get punched so be prepared and receive some bruises!!I highly recommend coming to this gym. I’ve been coming to the gym for a week as of today and I can say I enjoy it very much and love the atmosphere and energy that CMT has. I use to train at UFCGym and I can say this gym is way better. The Training here is physically and mentally demanding but not impossible. You have to have the right mentality when you come in.This gym is Muay Thai represented but that doesn’t mean you have to fight in Muay Thai to train here (You don’t need to be a fighter to train like one) You can come to get a good workout (but this isn’t your typical 24hr fitness type of gym) you WILL sweat, get bruises and some bumps & you’ll learn the art of Muay Thai. The students here are the most humble and kindest students with a mind of a champion and their willingness to want to help you is incredible and makes you feel more at ease because you’re not alone, we all start somewhere. If you don’t know anything ASK QUESTIONS! No one will judge you but just make some jokes so come with thick skin! Don’t take it personal- it’s all in good fun & lastly, your partner will help you and correct you on a move because at CMT we build each other up, not down. Truly an honor to train beside them because the devotion and determination they transpire is a motivation to keep moving forward. This is a team and it feels great to be a part of it- they are very welcoming and are true to the slogan Coach Jean implements (No Ego, No Attitude) truly that transpires at the gym. We all are trying to improve and we need eachother to do so. We are a team. Coach Jean is the best coach out there solely because his philosophy as a coach is different from most. This isn’t your typical gym, there’s no BS here and we are very straight forward. No Contract and No Fee. Come check it out!

I recently moved to Costa Mesa and got into Muay Thai recently after my travels overseas. I looked around at a lot of gyms in the area and Carillo Muay Thai easily stood above the rest with quality of Coach, quality of students and over all philosophy towards the sport and memberships. The the way the students treated my friend and I on our first day really said a lot of about the quality of instruction from coach Jean. All egos are checked at the door and everyone is here to learn and excel!
