Ive been coming here for a little over 2 and a half years. I consider the gym my second home; the people are great, they challenge and encourage you to achieve higher. I train so I can defend those I love and I definitely feel that if worst came to worst I would be able to defend myself against an attack because the gym has helped give me confidence to be able to stand up for myself. For the years that Ive been coming, Ive watched all types of people come and enjoy the class and learn from it, so I can definitely say that Ohana Warriors is for anyone whos wanting to try it out and okay with sweating;)

I have been a member with Ohana since 2015. Being a part of this team has been a wonderful part of my life. The gym is an open and welcoming family-friendly environment with people of all ages and skill levels. Whether your goal is a fun and challenging workout, effective self defense, or training for amateur and professional Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition, Ohana can help you on your journey.

Great place to train if you want to learn Muay Thai. The gym is like one big family! I started training here in 2012 and my skills and confidence have gone up tremendously. Thank you Ohana!

Came to the gym 6/11/20 approx. 7:15 to get info and was completely ignored. After standing there for about 5 minutes, someone knocked on the door. A guy, that I would later find out was the instructor for the class, asked me if someone was knocking at the door. He walked past me to get the door, ignoring me. On his way back, I asked if he was the instructor, he said yes while walking past me again without breaking stride. Never once welcoming me or asking if he could be of assistance.

Had my first class here on Tuesday and it was awesome! Ive never done a martial art before so going in I was nervous, but after meeting everyone I was quickly assured that there was nothing to be nervous about. On top of that I got a sick workout in! Needless to say I signed up! Ohana Warrior is highly recommended

My son Fabien is 8yrs old has only been attending for about 4 months ,1-2 times a week. He loves to train there . Sometimes he even attends the jujitsu class . The entire staff is excellent with kids , no matter at what pace they take the time to teach each child . The kids have fun doing Muay Thai . My wife and I like the discipline and respect that the kids are taught !!! Thanks!!!

Probably the best Muay Thai in Dallas, definitely worth it even if its a little out of your way. Mona and her crew are passionate and very knowledgeable, and theyve created a wonderful culture where everyone works as a team. Nobody has a big ego, and every time I go I feel very much supported by my teammates and my coaches. Its gritty, old school Muay Thai thats good for anyone, and its definitely a gym I plan on belonging to for a long time. These guys are top shelf!

This is a gym unlike any other. Been working out here for almost two years. Everyone--beginner to advanced--is treated with joy, kindness, and respect. Through positive reinforcement, you learn the craft of Muay Thai through practical, fun techniques & an intense workout. Leave your ego & your whining at home. :) Everyone is welcome & everyone is family here.

The company name says it all, Ohana! This gym and all the coaches have welcomed us with open arms just like family would! Coach Mona, JR, Mark and Adrienne are phenomenal!My wife and I recently moved back into the area and were looking for a true Muay Thai Gym where my son can learn the art as well as gain discipline that he can carry along with him as he trains. Ohana does that and more! We haven’t seen our son so motivated to reach various goals on a personal level but furthermore goals to continue to grow and make the coaches proud!I recommend if you want a good workout, with good trainers (true Muay Thai techniques 🤫)and great clean atmosphere, give Ohana a shot. The investment is worth it!!The Cruz’s

Very great school. Basic and advanced Muay Thai. Fight team is where I learned real advanced techniques. If your not scared to get in a ring with someone or accept criticism. This is the place for you. This is a fight club as well. Join up, trying to reach Olympic status.

This Gym is fantastic place!!! They do a wonderful job with all ages. My kiddo loves being at the gym. She would move in if she could. Her confidence has skyrocketed. Her love for herself has blossomed. Her ability to be self reliant is outstanding. They are so kind and supportive of bella and her dream. You have all pushed and encouraged her. They have helped bella be her personal best in the gym and out of the gym. . She is not the same little girl she started out as a few months ago. She is very confident. She feels unpowered! The entire staff and ppl all have become such marvelous role models for her. I am so very blessed to have found this gym.Some parents might be concerned about the aggressiveness of the sport. This has helped bella. She even told a kid at school punching is for the ring not the classroom!M

I love Ohana! I have been training muay thai here for the past 4 years. Mona is great; she knows how to talk to you and help you deal with emotional stuff so that you can use it to become a better fighter. Because she takes the time to know you, she knows how much to push you. We train extremely hard, which pays off with winning medals and belts! We always perform very well in competition and sparring events, due to our difficult (yet fun) training. Mona makes sure that our muay thai skills are solid through repetition, but in a variety of fun and different ways each time. Fundamentals are the basis to any true martial artist, and we take form very seriously. A fighter with solid strikes and great form is more exciting to watch than someone who thinks theyre a UFC fighter coming in with sloppy spinning back fists and flying knees after training 6 months. However, we learn all techniques, with people training at all levels. If you love muay thai, the intricacies of training are exciting each time you show up to class!JR, Jake, and everyone else at the gym are great too. They have helped me in and out of the gym with everything from pet sitting when we have competitions, to marketing. Ohana is the best Muay Thai gym around!

Muay Thai review:I was here for a while. The Muay Thai class is the most popular, but youre only going to learn the very basics. When you come to the Muay Thai class, its the same thing everytime. 10 minutes of jump rope warm-ups (great for footwork and balance) but after a while you just kinda skip it (if you want to. My goals were different, cardio was not my issue) After that its either 10 minutes of shadow boxing (punching air) or you start the days class. This could anything from being conditioning (multiple punches, multiple kicks, footwork through agility ladders, footwork through fun interactive team games, pad work where you work on jabs and punches... Etc).The reason why I give this place a 3/5 stars is the importance they have on safety. The place is very friendly and family oriented but because of this they shrug off injuries like Its cool itll heal. The coach is a sweet heart but also a bipolar hard ass. Shell motivate you, but take your time, she cant tell when you have an injury; only you will. The average person will love this but for the person who has an interest in actually training in the martial arts the learning experience is 5/10 . Because the classes are so big, you wont be able to have a lot of one on one work like you do in jiu jitsu. Want to lose weight? Great, this place is for you. You wont learn advanced Muay Thai techniques here (or Ive never been taught them). No flying knees, no major sweeps, no emphasis on elbows, nothing fancy.Summary: come if you wanna lose weight, increase your cardio health and endurance, learn the basics and make tons of other motivated people who have multiple stories. The people you meet are great.Jiu-jitsu review: Tye Davis is THE MAN. What a phenomenal teacher and person. He is a brown belt that knows his stuff. For him, I give him 5 stars. There is MAJOR emphasis on safety. This class is smaller and has less days of the week, but they are my favorite. If you consider coming just for him, its totally worth it. Great to talk to, has a great head on his shoulders, he is an educated man that will teach you how to defend against bullies and is hillarious. Learning experience 9/10.Negatives: you might roll with stinky sweaty people, but get over it lol.

The entire gym is full of completely disrespectful people.They will delete bad reviews off facebook and try and report you.They threaten to come find you and fight you.They share no respect for any other martial arts.Avoid these clowns at all costs.

No whinings allowed. Leave your ego/showing-off mentalities out of this gym and youll get a warm welcoming atmosphere. No one will make fun of you whether youre new to muay thai or out of shape. Everyone will encourage you to try your best. You wont feel intimidated in this gym because everyone is a family member to one another.If you think studying Muay Thai to show off in a public place, this gym isnt recommended because they keep it humble and family oriented. Must show up to class to be able to spar or you must prove your worth to be able to fight-the instructors are more than welcome to train you to be a real fighter; not a show-off nor doing it for fame. You train with The Ohana gym for the love of martial arts, not for money nor fame.First day is free so youre more than welcome to try it out.

Best place to start, learn and gain experience and knowledge in Muay Thai, a highly motivational place with plenty of aspiration from our instructors. Location is easy to find, plenty of parking spots, and hours are excellent. Experienced or not, everyone is on the same level and all are considered as Ohana family. The Ohana Warrior Gym considers Unity as an important factor, so no one is left behind and everyone is looked after. Each day is always different and I have learned so much in just one week being there. Muay Thai takes alot of commitment and the instructors in the Ohana Warrior Gym, has been with me every step of the way. I would most definitely recommend the Ohana Warrior Gym to everyone for their awesome commitment to others, well-maintained and positive environment, and the instructors passion to teach Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu.
