A well developed program for children 6 to 12, we teach a modified version of our Adult program. The most notable difference is the exclusion of head contact of any form. What remains the same is the detail oriented instruction of techniques and strategies combined with equal parts sports conditioning.

The best Muay Thai gym I have ever been to and one of the few who teach Dutch Style in the United States. This place was like a second home to me. The structure, ranking system by skill level, and the focus on technique are some of the few aspects of this gym that set it apart from others.
I have had to move around a bit the past couple years, and I have trained in Nashville, Denver, and San Diego along the way. In all of these places, there were only a few classes a week and the classes they had were unstructured for the most part and did not elaborate on the techniques used or even how to throw

Eric and Lindsay are the greatest people ever. Throughout the pandemic they both did all they could to accommodate the gym members while following the CDC and state guidelines. I've been a member of the gym for years and can't wait to join the family again.
If you're new to martial arts or have decades of experience this is a great place to train. Show up ready to learn and work hard and you will leave the gym a better person than when you started!

Best coaches in town. You’re taught by actual trained fighters with years of experience. Gym is very fun and welcoming. Prices are the best in the city. As soon as you walk in the door you will feel like family. Everyone is supportive and will help you toward your goals. You can train as a fighter with contact or without with the same results.

This is by far the best fitness kickboxing workout I've ever experienced, and I've been to the other chain gyms. Everyone who walks in the door is treated the same and trained the same. You'll learn kickboxing from people with ring experience, who value and respect the sport. If you want a great workout and a great gym family, go to Real Fighters.

This has been my gym for years. I love the atmosphere and the never-boring workout that is delivered every time. I hesitate to move to another city because I know there is nowhere else that can even come close to this gem of a gym. Thank you, Real Fighters family for your most honorable awesomeness!
