I attended their Women Empowered seminar on 1/12/2020. The class was amazing! Very informative and gave me a basic understanding of self-defense. Would highly recommend to anyone interested!!

Having never done any martial arts in my life, i joined Ronin Athletics a few months ago. Since then i've enjoyed it so much that i have not missed a single class. It's so enjoyable and disciplined that learning is so easy. It's structured in way that no matter when you join, you can easily adapt to the current lessons with ease. Great job Christian and the team.

Ronin Athletics is definitely a highly recommended gym if you are interested in starting up kickboxing or jiu-jitsu. Not only that, if you are looking to burn some calories, lose weight, and get one of those "I really got some intense cardio today" feel, the kickboxing classes will be satisfying. I can vouch for this since I lost about 20lbs in less than a year, going to class about 3 times a week.
I only took the kickboxing classes, but the teacher/coaches, mainly Bart, Dom, and staffs like Anthony, have been nothing but amazing. I joined in 2017 not knowing a single thing about kickboxing and while I still have plenty to learn, even the simple jabs and hooks, I've improved quite a lot.
Christian always greets everyone, and you can tell that he is a very respectful and honorable owner. He'll be watching the classes and on occasion, he'll throw in some tips. When he does, you can see that everyone is watching closely. Christian does teach KB, however, it's later in the day, which I'm not able to go to.
Overall, its a great environment for anyone to join. If you're the type that is looking for some intense training, or a serious fighter, then I couldn't comment on the validity of the classes, but for beginner to intermediate level, or those that are just looking to burn some serious calories, this is a great place to do just that.
As far as my experience with KB:
Beginners are warmly welcomed by everyone. There are days when you have 2-3 people, to the busier times with 10+ more, but everyone is in different stages. The advanced members are happily engaging with beginners, and while Bart or Anthony can't focus on each and every person on the busier days, you have other members who can fix or show movements that have been there for a while. It's truly a family community and when I'm there, I'd be happy to partner up with anyone.
About 6 months in, Bart allowed me to join the 201 classes (more contact and 1-on-1). To be honest, it was a bit nerve wracking putting on shin guards, mouth piece, and facing an opponent, but once again, the experienced members were not uptight about a new member and gave plenty of great tips. The occasional sparring was intense, but nobody is there to give you a good beating.
Currently, I'm limited to attending class, due to my wife recently giving birth to our daughter, however, I intend on returning as soon as my schedule free up a little bit.

Ronin Athletics is a fantastic place to train Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing. I had been training in kickboxing for a while and was curious about adding Jiu-Jitsu into the mix. My trainer recommended Ronin, and I could not be happier. Even with knowing very little about the sport, I was immediately welcomed and made to feel incredibly comfortable. The coaches are knowledgeable and talented. Furthermore, the community is very positive and supportive. Ronin strikes a great balance between training hard and pushing to develop one's skills while creating a program that works for you. It is wonderful being part of the Ronin family.

The team at Ronin makes you feel at home from the first moment you step in. It's a great place to learn self defence or BJJ.

I've learned so much from the kickboxing classes and I would recommend Ronin to anyone who wants to learn kickboxing and get a great workout!

I have nothing but good things to say about Ronin Athletics. I have been training here for over 2 years and always enjoy my time at the gym. The coaches know how to work with people with all different skill levels and do their best to make everyone feel welcome. Prior to finding Ronin, I was trying classes all over Manhattan looking for the right balance of serious, but still enjoyable. Ronin fit my requirements perfectly and have been great ever since. I would definitely recommend Ronin Athletics to anyone who wants to try MMA for the first time or to expand on an established skill base.

I really enjoyed my time at Ronin. Coaches and trainers are great. No ego, hard work, no bow to your sensei stuff. People there are also very nice. I have never boxed before and picking it up was really easy. Great structure of different level for classes as well that really eases you into fighting and sparring shape if you want to. If you want to stay in basics you can also do that as well. Really enjoyed my time and hoping I can find something like this gym in LA. Thank you Ronin and students at Ronin for making my experience here awesome!

I've been coming to Ronin since this January and I've had the absolute best experience here. All of the coaches are willing to help with anything you ask, the quality of people that come in everyday is great. No big egos found in here. I can not recommend this place enough to everyone. Because of Ronin I've found a competency with my body that I wouldn't have gotten by just going to a routine/conventional weight lifting gym. I thank everyone who works there and who've ever partnered with me in helping me learn and grow in my athletic journey!
