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!

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!!!

Just visited Ohana for a YDL event and I have nothing but great things to say, Mona and her team organized a great event and worked extremely hard to make sure that it ran smoothly, these are the great people that will be the reason Muay Thai begins to flourish throughout Texas!

Great atmosphere, wether your advanced or a beginner this is an amazing place to learn traditional muay thai. The dynamic duo of Jr and Mona has raised multiple beginners to champions.

Probably the best Muay Thai in Dallas, definitely worth it even if it's a little out of your way. Mona and her crew are passionate and very knowledgeable, and they've 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. It's gritty, old school Muay Thai that's good for anyone, and it's definitely a gym I plan on belonging to for a long time. These guys are top shelf!

Love this gym, love the trainers, love the people. Since joining I have fallen in love with Muy Thai; there's nothing like it! Be prepared to sweat, Mona requires me to wear dri-fit underneath because I leave puddles on the mats.

Jiu Jitsu is right. Muay Thai is tight.
If you train all day n' night you's ready to fight.
My time there was dope, and the trainers are cool.
You will be tired, panting, making sweat pools.
Don't come slacking, rather train to the max
Wins you'll be racking, blood splattered on the mat.
Classes are crowded, some days they're not
But when you come to class, give it all you got
Mona is cool, rough, and tuff
JR is big, buff, and knows his stuff.
They're the dynamic duo and they'll show you the ropes
Hard work is key, they don't wanna hear you mope
Tye Davis; the man goes hard
Give him 3 seconds and you're in an armbar
Brown belt; certified bad azz
His class is awesome, has his own pizzazz
If you ready to learn and got some calories to burn.
Get ready to strap on your gloves and wrap up your fists
Cuz Ohana WARRIOR IS THE SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE

Muay Thai review:
I was here for a while. The Muay Thai class is the most popular, but you're only going to learn the very basics. When you come to the Muay Thai class, it's 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 it's either 10 minutes of shadow boxing (punching air) or you start the day's 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 "It's cool it'll heal". The coach is a sweet heart but also a bipolar hard ass. She'll motivate you, but take your time, she can't 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 won't 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 won't learn advanced Muay Thai techniques here (or I've 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, it's 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.

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 they're 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!

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.

Had my first class here on Tuesday and it was awesome! I've 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
