From the reviews
Wow!!!! I absolutely love peaceful warrior. I was a member at 9round for almost two years but I wanted more from my gym. I saw that peaceful warrior had jiu jitsu and i decided to give it a try… not only do I do jiu jitsu there but I get to use their state of the art gym equipment and get to do Muay Thai.
I absolutely love the Peaceful Warrior. I have worked out at their gym and my daughter has been doing their children’s jujitsu class for about a year now. The staff is amazing. Nick, Alex, and Luciano have changed my daughters life as far as her confidence and her technical skills.
Such a great gym with experienced, friendly trainers!! Nick makes you feel like family. He has created an environment for all ages and levels of experience to grow in their fitness journey…. You really couldn’t ask for a better place to feel more welcomed and cared for. This place is a Dana Point GEM!!!
I’ve trained in martial arts for most of my life but when it comes to formally learning traditional BJJ, I’m new at this. Peaceful Warrior Jiu Jitsu has been a great place for me and my kids to train.
New to muay thai? Start at Peaceful Warrior Jiujitsu
Peaceful Warrior Jiujitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at Peaceful Warrior Jiujitsu
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
