Best fight gym ever!!! Family oriented! I’ve been coming/training here for over 3 years and I love it. I love the family I have created here. The experience I have gained as a person/fighter is amazing. I’ve grown so much here. I would recommend this gym before anywhere else. It’s like a second home.
Amazing place meet great people and workout and get in shape... I’ve been coming here since 2010 and have loved every minute of it... if your in the Burbank area come check this place out you will not regret it!!! Above and beyond 5 stars!!! World-class gym!!!
Ive been coming to Defiant for Muay Thai and its been great for keeping my body in shape and learning self-defense. They offer multiple class times throughout the week and also have expanded to now have womens and kids classes. Daniel the owner is very knowledgeable, patient and creates a family atmosphere where everyone is willing to help new comers. I highly recommend Defiant gym to anyone that is looking to get real results while learning martial arts.
Had coach Speedy teaching me everything I know about boxing! He’s a great teacher and badass too!! He looks like a nice guy but he’s got some real skills and can hang in there with anybody his weight!! 5/5
More than a gym, it’s like a club... once you arrive you don’t want to leave. It’s hard work, everyone trains hard and fights hard but it’s great fun and even after boxing for 10+, I still found plenty more to learn from The head coach and everyone that trains there.
I came to Defiant as an out of shape 27 year old that had never thrown a proper punch in his life. On top of this, I set an absolutely insane (and unwise!) personal goal of competing in an amateur MMA bout after just three months of training. Despite all these hurdles in my path, Daniel and the other students at Defiant were not only incredibly, encouraging along the way (even though they thought I was crazy!), but they would go out of their way to make sure I was as ready as one could be in such a short amount of time.The training was tough, the sparring even tougher, but I always left it feeling healthier, sharper, and craving more. And even though I ultimately lost my first fight, I stepped into the cage with a sense of confidence that would not have been possible without my time at Defiant. Im grateful to have trained there, and Im excited for whatever future fight adventures lie in my future with them.If youre looking for a place to get a good workout and hone your combat skills with a bunch of great men and women, this is THE place. No frills, no excess - just a great time and some good ol slugfests.
