This is by far the best martial arts school you'll find! The instructors are patient, highly knowledgeable, and very experienced. They really take care in your learning and growth. They have also cultivated a very friendly, patient, and accepting culture. All the students I have worked with have been kind and helpful during training rounds. This school offers a variety of martial arts classes you won't see anywhere else! Each class is diverse, focuses on technique and form, and builds off of each class. The quality of training and support you get from the instructors are above any I've experienced in SoCal so far. Highly recommended if you're looking for a top notch, diverse, fun, and caring martial arts team!

The thing that's really blown me away about this place is the culture. Super welcoming, super inclusive. Everyone that I've interacted with at all levels, staff and students alike, has been nice, helpful, and supportive. It's really a great group. That doesn't happen on accident, and it's a testament to everyone involved in building this place. Great experience all around.

I've been going to MMA for a couple of months now, and I love it. The gym has a wide variety of classes - BJJ, no gi, wrestling, muay thai, and MMA. I love that there are so many different types of classes. Justen and the other instructors are also amazing. Whenever I have a question on a certain technique, the instructors will always sit with me and walk me through the technique until I feel confident with the technique, which is incredible and extremely helpful for helping me learn. I'm so glad I joined this gym.

Modern Martial Arts and Fitness is a friendly gym that offers great training. The coaches present the techniques in an easy to understand manner, while also providing context for them. The culture is very welcoming and approachable. The schedule of classes is also the best I have seen in Pasadena, offering BJJ, Muay Thai, No-gi, and wrestling. Sparring occurs in every class, and is a fun way to practice against resisting partners. It's also a great workout; I have lost 13 lbs in less than 2 months of training. I recommend this gym to anyone interested in martial arts!

There are so many martial arts schools in the LA area, it can be difficult to decide where to train. This school should be at the top of your list. If what you are looking for is solid technique taught in a safe and friendly environment, this will definitely fit your needs.
