This gym absolutely saved my life. The instructors and owner are wonderful people and want nothing more to teach the amazing values of mixed martial arts. I could never see myself training elsewhere. I absolutely recommend to try this gym out. I've been here since 2018 and have always had a wonderful experience. Top notch instruction and a wonderful crew. Everyone is so very willing to help you better yourself.

I recommend this school for anyone, regardless of their skill level in martial arts. Nate is a friendly and knowledgeable instructor. He's also very paitent and encouraging. The school is not intimidating and has a positive atmosphere.

Great MMA gym, the best I've been to in the area! Personally I prefer the Jiu Jitsu aspect of the game but all classes I did there were great! Highly recommended!

I am a disabled vet and struggle to keep up physically at times. They have always been very patient and have always tried to work within my given abilities while still pushing me to strive for more from myself A great group and a great place to train

By far the best martial arts school in the area. Nathan is an awesome head coach. The kids classes are great. I’ve personally taken the jiu jitsu classes and the Muay Thai classes and I have to say that they are awesome. You will get in great shape and learn to defend yourself better than any of the other shopping mall karate schools could teach you.

My son had been coming for several months. One of the best equipped martial arts locations I've been to. Instructors are great with the smaller kids.

I primarily attend the noon BJJ classes at this gym and am constantly impressed with both the level of instruction and competition with other members during our sessions. There is a good mix of experienced and beginner students which makes for a great learning environment. Many members compete on a regional level and perform very well, often taking gold in their division. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for self-defense training or would like to compete in MMA there is no better place in the Northern Kentucky/ Cincinnati market.

Awesome gym. I have been training bjj there for about 3.5 years and absolutely love it. Nate and the other instructors are knowledgeable and experienced professionals who also happen to be excellent teachers. In addition to the every day instructors, Son of Siam has given me the chance to learn from several other world class bjj black belt competitors through seminars hosted there regularly. If you have ever been curious about learning a martial art or just want to get in shape, I would recommend Son of Siam to everyone from age 6 to 60.

Great place to train, to exercise, and to get to know really great people. I was scared of joining a martial arts gym as a totally inexperienced newbie my first day, and was pretty comfortable my second day.

I have been involved in athletics my entire life and I can 100% say that the coaches at this gym are second to none. Nate, the owner, is an expert when it comes to Bjj, Judo, and Muay Thai. No matter your skill level everyone is always welcome. The facility is awesome and spacious. The student core is cool and friendly. I would not hesistate to bring my kid here, the kid coaches are very patient and knowledgeable. Don't wait come try it out the first class is always free!!

I've been training there on and off for 6 years and its Only gotten better. Got my first cage submission there and became a purple belt in jiu-jitsu and got my green belt in Judo. The Muay Thai is amazing. With a world trained Muay Thai coach and Judo black belt and Jiu-jitsu black belt. Grade A+

I travel a lot and roll above my belt ranking at most other schools because of this school. Only place I've been where owner is a black belt in BJJ, Judo, and has trained Muy Thai in Thailand. Also great instructors for kids programs. Most are fathers or mothers themselves and really know how to help the young ones learn and have fun.

My daughter has been taking classes here in Jui jitsu and muay tai for 2 1/2 yrs now. The adults and children's classes are the best in the tri-state area hands down! Very friendly and caring ,always a welcoming environment.

Awesome gym, Great coaching, Best in the area, this place produces great talent and has several amateur and professional champions who started here,great for for all levels of skill, I moved into the area a couple years ago already having a 14-1 amateur record and trained at several gyms and this is by far the best, While at SOS I've gone 4-0 as an amateur, turned Pro and am currently 3-0. I would highly recommend SOS to anyone who is looking to to compete in MMA,Muay Thai or Jiu-Jitsu or those who are looking to learn self defense

Best gym in the Cincinnati area! Everyone is very welcoming and make you feel like a part of the team on day one. Instructors have a ton of experience. Looking to compete, train for self defense, or just to stay in shape? Son of Siam has all that and then some. Stop in and check them out. You won't be disappointed.

This is the most personable and genuine Mixed Martial Arts gym I have ever been to. The owner is a great teacher. I trained here for months on and off and he is one of the most understanding people I have ever met. It's a community all in its own. I hope who ever comes across this place gives it a shot because you'll never look back.

Great martial arts school. Very welcoming. Great beginner classes for those just starting out. But plenty of activity and comradery for those more advanced to train and spar.

My home away from home. As a 16-5 professional fighter I discovered Son Of Siam 3 years ago. Besides having a amazing group of students, fighters and coaches it really stands apart for it's close knit atmosphere. SOS has been my home for 3 years and i have gone 5-1 under its banner. Great coach/Owner. Abd an excellent team with a clean, safe and knowledgeable environment for people of all ages and skill levels. Don't miss out on the best gym in the greater Cincinnati area.

When I went it was for my kid, the person in charge didn't seem to really know how to deal with kids. Not to mention there was 1 kid I think a girl. Along with a bunch of men practicing. The teacher seemed to be helping the girl it was 1on1 but I can't help but think why is he holding a class for other people at the same time as the kids class. It was fairly obvious why the class had no kids they have no idea how to recruit people either. My kid just wanted to watch and that's ok. However when you call and arrive it should really be 1on1 with a new customer yet they had no one available. We stood and waited, and waited, and waited....then left. For whatever reason he just forgot about us. So he lost that business. All I wanted was a simple brochure or something to know what the pricing and such was but he immediately started dealing with a bunch of other people knowing we were there to find out more. It's also 100% not for fitness training for people who are overweight. The crowd there is definitely not friendly towards those kinds of people. Very disappointed in the place and I can see why their class sizes are so small.
