Chalisa P. says, "Just had my first lesson with Max and it was AMAZING. Don't be fooled by the low price, Max is a financial advisor who just happens to know how to disable anyone in 16s or less in about 1,000 different ways...without injuring them. Just some basic info: Your level: Whether or not you have experience with self defense, he can teach you something new. I've had 3 years of experience with Muay Thai, but he basically made me realize how ineffective sports are in comparison to real world fighting. If you have zero experience, these techniques can be done by anyone willing to learn the skill, so no worries. What to expect: This is definitely a self defense class -- not a workout class. You will get a mild workout depending on your fitness level, but these techniques are all about skills and smarts. Be ready to learn a LOT! Max himself: He's just a really nice guy who knows his stuff and wants to help people defend themselves! I highly recommend this class."See more

Brandon B. says, "I have been training since I was 24 years old. I am now, well, much older. Over that time, I have participated in: weightlifting, running, swimming, yoga, and boxing. Each time I’ve started a new discipline, I’ve always hired a trainer. Usually, I stopped seeing the trainer within 1-2 months and then continued on my own. Not this time and not with Coach Jay. His knowledge of boxing and enthusiasm, not only for the sport, but also teaching it is off the charts. I have been working with him for months and will continue to do so. Coach Jay is for everyone: first timers, amateurs and even pros. He is definitely for you, too. I can’t recommend him enough."See more

Josiah K. says, "As a Lifestyle & Events Manager at a luxury residential property, I have the pleasure of curating experiences that bring our community together—and working with Coach Phanat (Coach P) for our Disco HIIT: Sweat & Beats event was a true highlight! Coach P is an exceptional fitness professional with a strong background in kickboxing and personal training, and his expertise was on full display during the session. He brought an infectious energy, expert guidance, and a deep commitment to both safety and fun, ensuring that residents felt both challenged and supported throughout the workout. His ability to personalize the experience turned a small group session into what felt like an exclusive, one-on-one training experience—something our residents truly appreciated. Beyond his skills as a trainer, Coach P’s familiarity with San Francisco and understanding of our community’s lifestyle made him an instant fit for our wellness programming. He was so impressed by our property, amenities, and engaged resident culture that he has graciously offered to return next month to lead a Kickboxing Bootcamp—a class we are confident will draw even more interest! If you’re looking for a dynamic, knowledgeable, and resident-focused fitness coach who makes every session engaging, effective, and fun, Coach P is the one to call! We’re excited to continue collaborating with him and highly recommend his expertise to any fitness or wellness program."See more

Reviews for San Francisco brazilian jiu-jitsu instructors on Thumbtack

From Mary H.

Petaluma Boxing Club

Working with Elias has been one of the most rewarding fitness experiences I've had in months. When the quarantine started, I didn't know where to look to get involved in fitness and who to trust to teach me self-defense and foundations in mixed martial arts. I didn't have a lot of experience with finding instructors or trainers in the city since I'm new and just moved here from Canada, eh. I also had a lot of personal worries and doubts about who to trust and rely on for training, self-defense and fitness. I didn't know a lot of people and was in need of someone trust-worthy and reliable. When I met Elias, I was skeptical about the $60/per session but open-minded to the idea of working with him and that turned out to be one of the BEST fitness decisions I've made. Elias over-exceeded my expectations in so many areas, including delivering fun, challenging, engaging workouts that focused on foundations, strength workouts, and variety on Muay Thai, Boxing, and BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-jitsu). In his words, he grew up in a tough neighbourhood, and those experiences taught him to be practical, smart and nimble. He has over 20 years of experience in MMAs (mixed martial arts). He's competed professionally in a ring for over 5 years, giving him a HUGE range of experiences to share with his students. On top of that, he's kind (he bought me a Gatorade when I didn't bring water to a class), considerate of his students (pushes you just hard enough and asks you how you're feeling), responsiveness (you need 1:1 classes ASAP because life is stressin' you out - he's got your back), and has high integrity (believes in delivering value and teaching you to be excellent, instead of just trying to take as much money from you as possible). He has built a wonderful 1:1 experience for me by building a safe place to learn MMAs, without making me feel bad about taking my time to learn foundations. He's patient and deeply cares about his students and the experience he delivers. As a plug, him and his team also have outdoor boxing lessons in the Panhandle & Russian Hill currently. Support this local business and help them thrive during the pandemic so they can deliver more outdoor boxing classes for others in a safe manner. If you do, google sfboxingclub. I do both the 1:1 and go to the these outdoor classes on the weekends. Truly, truly a wonderful experience that is hard to come by. Not only does his team do such an amazing job of attentively making sure your experience is wonderful and safe, they also help to build a small, safe and mighty community of boxers who are strong and happy to get their fitness in a safe and comfortable space. Thank you Elias for all that you do. I do not write reviews very often, but when someone goes up and beyond to make my experience amazing, I will write a review for them. Highly, highly recommend. A+++++++++. Do it up.
