If you want to learn self defense , just want to become healthy or, you want to compete then you cant go wrong at this gym.

I love this place. My daughters were only able to attend for a month before the pandemic put their training on hold. Chris is cool, he cares about his students. The minute he opens back up, my kids are ready to go back. All of his staff are just as helpful as Chris. He is kind to everyone, but serious and disciplined at the same time. I love that, I need more of that in my life. I HIGHLY recommend coming in for a class. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing gym, amazing people, amazing classes! There are too many good things to say about this gym. It has become my second home. Cris runs a top notch curriculum and I look forward to going to classes every day. Jiujitsu and the genuinely good people in this program saved my life. You will be welcomed with wide open arms here.

My son has been training here for over a year now, he is five and Cris is amazing with all the kids.I also train here and this academy is just amazing. Great training partners and Sunshine’s methods of teaching and style lend very well to progression in martial arts.

Awesome atmosphere, great staff and no gym drama. Semi new academy so if youre looking to start fresh in Bjj or striking you wont be too far behind. If you want a quality intro to practical martial arts this is where you want to be.

This gym is great for the whole family. All 4 of my kids , my self and my husband train here. We love it. Can wait for it to open back up :)

I love this place! I’ve been training here since they opened and will not go anywhere else — everyone (including the two AMAZING owners, Cris and Marca Lencioni) has been incredibly supportive...from letting me bring in a playpen for my baby to play in so I could train without worrying to helping me with nutrition and just being there as friends. This place is more than an academy or martial arts school, it is a home for so many people — those who train here become friends, family even! Proud to be a part of this incredible community.

Great gym and a place one can call it family, kids and adults of all ages friendly. Cris and his instructors are knowledgeable, friendly and take pride in the success of every individual student regardless of their abilities.Sunshine Athletics’ training partners are a reflection of the instructions and treat everyone respectfully and challenge each other to push themselves beyond comfort zones.This gym has been a great addition to the community; looking for somewhere to get you in fantastic shape, have fun and feel among family stop by and have a chat with Cris Lencioni.~AGB

In any gym culture is key. And Chris is cultivating a culture of learning and growth. Whether you are just starting out, been training for several years, want to get your kids into a martial art, this is the local gym for you!You can walk into a gym and within the first few classes you will know the culture that the coach is trying to create. Are people helpful? Are they trying to get better? Chris is creating a culture for students to connect and grow together! Chris wants to help you get better at the grappling arts and is a skilled grappler and fighter himself.I trained at Sunshines for a year and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I am a purple in jiu-jitsu.

A standout among all the options in and around Canby. If youre looking to challenge yourself and be supported while doing it Sunshines is where its at!

Great low pressure place to train. Solid teaching, great atmosphere

I signed up my Wife, 4 kids and I, the day Cris opened Sunshine Athletics. I did not know him previously, but we have all grown to be like a gym family. Cris treats everyone with respect, is polite and professional. Cris Lencioni is also an amazing athlete, who has many professional wins. Hes good with the kids and teaches them self defense techniques that really work. As well as brings in various expert practitioners of martial arts such as: jiujitsu, muey thai, judo, American kickboxing, boxing, and Greco Roman wrestling.One thing is for sure, I will not have to worry about my daughters safety when they start dating, they will be able to defend themselves with ease.

Sunshine Athletics is the best in the Biz - Great times with great people and Sunshine is tougher than nails too!

Awsome place my teen boys loved it.

Best place ever! No joke, check them out.

Although only being in business for about a year and a half, this gym has made such a huge impact on the community. Personally I would not be who I am today without Cris and the other members of the gym. They always want to do the right thing! Cris is a very high level Jiu Jitsu competitor and one hell of a fighter and I’ve seen the kids and adults at this gym get soooo much better and they just improving. A light in the canby community!

Chris is absolutely amazing!

Rude, mean, harsh
