Will and Ella were very welcoming for my first time, will definitely be back!
Great gym with a really good training atmosphere. The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and actually take the time to correct your technique during class. The training is challenging but enjoyable, and everyone I’ve met has been welcoming and serious about improving. I also really appreciate that the coaches are happy to answer questions and give extra advice after class. Definitely a great place if you want to train seriously and get better. Highly recommend Black Lion!
I had a great first time experience with Muay Thai at Black Lion! Coach Will was an excellent and encouraging coach who paid attention to everyone and corrected everyone’s form when needed to ensure everyone was improving. Everyone there was kind and welcoming, Ella was incredibly helpful and even let me use her wraps which I really appreciated, highly recommend training here!
I’ve been training and have been around BJJ and MMA for about 10 years now. I visited this gym with my girlfriend during my visit to Toronto and it was great! Will is an excellent instructor with many years of teaching / fighting experience. Both, his Muay Thai class and Nogi class, are really good and the gym is very clean and has good equipment. The atmosphere is very friendly, I have trained with Jacare Souza , Cyborg and Giancarlo Bodoni just to name a few and I would recommend this gym to any experienced practitioner or beginner alike.
Coach Will is very skilled and patient. The gym is brand new with good mats and strength training equipments. The gym is clean. Tried the Thai kickboxing for the first time and would like to come back for other classes.
Black Lion Thai Boxing & MMA is the real deal. A brand new gym in the city center with brand new equipment, run by a true pioneer of the sport. The environment is incredibly friendly and supportive. I've never had more fun exercising! You get an amazing workout while learning practical, life-saving skills. If you're looking for a new way to get fit and learn something valuable, look no further. Highly recommended!
I had fun here, good mats clean room , pretty decent instruction and seems like a wide range of classes available . I would make this a five if they had proper showers . But good change room and good overall room to work . Very accommodating to new students and new martial artists and they have a great set up for gym equipment. Would be a great one stop fits all gym . It’s a little hidden away which feels interesting!
I tried the free class as someone who does other martial arts. It was reallllly fun and an amazing workout and a lot of women even though the teacher was a guy. Everyone was really friendly. However I'd recommed u bring your own gloves bc the ones he gave me stank so bad i cant get the smell off the hands and it costs 37 bucks. The class is only an hour which is great for those who dont have a lot of time or want a shorter commitment but bc of the shorter time not much time is put into stretching. It does seem like you could arrive early to do your own stretches though at least for the 1pm class on Wednesday. Or stretch on your own at home bc they basically get right into it if youre a little older and have any injuries or issues, definitely take the time to do a long stretch at home or if you can arrive early. Otherwise the teacher Will was super knowledgeable and very friendly and it was a great work out
