I’ve been to four sessions as a “drop in” member over the last few months when visiting KL from Singapore. , attending two Muay THAI Classes, one boxing and one BJJ. I am beginner to intermediate at Muay Thai and complete novice at the others two. However, my review is based on visiting many Muay THai/MMA gyms in Asia and around the world, as I have been travelling extensively in the last 8-10 months, and trying to train everywhere I go. My first impression of Monarchy MMA (both Bangsar and city centre locations) Is of the high standard of order and cleanliness. This is important not just from a hygiene and comfort perspective (I’ve had 2 nasty “staph” infections so this is important anyway), but it also helps set the tone and gives an insight into the mindset around which the gym operates. This is a commercial gym in the sense that your pay to attend classes, but whereas with many places they simply want your money (particularly if you’re just passing through), in the classes I attended at Monarchy the emphasis was principally on the practice of the sport / martial art. If you’re not there on time with the right equipment, mindset and ready to train with a learner’s heart, then they don’t want your money. In terms of quality of tuition I am best placed to comment on Muay Thai as that is my focus. The two classes led by Conrad Forlan were excellent: well structured, managed at a good pace with both learning and fitness benefits. Also, the attitude and behaviour of the others students (again a function of the gym’s ethos) contributed to the quality of the sessions. I am now in the process of relocating to KL ad have had no hesitation in signing up for 12 months in advance. Unreserved recommendation. A world class MMA gym.

I signed up for my free trial - Boxing class from 8-9pm todayThe registration process was very smooth and the lady at front desk was very patient and answered all the questions. The nightmare begins once the clock hits 8pm, except me everybody was busy doing their warm ups and over 95% of them had their gloves and knew what to do. Being the first timer I went and asked the coach (Jonathon Clemons) about the routine and very abrasively he utters "stretch stretch". Hearing that I diligently start stretching.... After about 25mins I am still stretching with zero attention. Mr. Clemons was busy on his phone. At this point I decided that I had enough and walked out mid way. I had read some great reviews but to my dismay it was exactly the opposite. When there is a trial class offered and people come for the first time they are expected to be guided and not treated rudely and dismissively. Utterly disappointed and an absolute No No to the trial Boxing class under Mr. Clemons (rude and unfriendly).

Had a great boxing initiation class with Coach Taina Graèf here. I came a few mins late but he still allowed me to participate in the class. He was very patient and the class was super fun. We learnt a few of the basic footwork required for boxing as well as the hooks. Since it was just an introduction class, there wasn't a lot of one on one involved. Other than that the branch itself is quite spacious and offers MMA, wrestling, kick boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu etc. I was able to see two other groups practicing under their respective trainers simultaneously. The packages offered mainly are for several months at once but you do get to join one initiation class to check out the facilities available.

Nice place! Spacious, clean, well-equipped camp. I participated in a kickboxing class lead by coach Manoel, a nice guy from Brazil The 60-minute-class consists of jogging, active stretching, shadow boxing, sprint, heavy bag, jump rope, and pair work combinations. No time for getting bored. This camp provides various membership which is pretty convenient. I was a tourist in Kuala Lumpur and wanted to find a camp as a one-time visitor. The admin provided a considerable support by answering my inquiries, informing price, location, class types etc. via Whatsapp message. Thanks a lot. I’ll definitely come back here when in KL!

Trained evening class with Diego Vargas while on business trip. Overall great experience. ■Registration:　★★★★★　 Contact through WhatsApp and sign wavers, forms all online. Staff walks you through the whole process. ■Location: ★★★★★　Central Kuala Lumpur. After that registration, staff shares a video on how to access. ■ Facilities: ★★★★★ Clean and massive. Separate weight room available as well. ■ Class: ★★★★★ Treated just as every other student. Given very individualized advice and expected to perform at high level. One of the best drop in gyms I've experienced in SE Asia. Will visit again .

Great gym with great coaches who are really knowledgable and patient, it’s an amazing opportunity learning from them! I’ve tried their BJJ (Gi and NoGi), Boxing, Muay Thai and Wrestling classes, along with their weight lifting section. They have a full schedule with classes every morning, afternoon and evening so lots of class time options to choose from. Coaches adapt the class to the experience level of the class so it’s great for beginners and advanced people!

I attended their Initiation Class under their free trial and they did not disappoint! I enjoyed it so much. The instructions and introduction by Prof Diego were helpful and insightful. He gave us a taste and feel of BJJ. He was also very patient with the class as everyone were complete newbies. After that one session, my interest in BJJ grew and I would totally invest in learning. If you can afford it, go for it. Monarchy is a great place to learn.

Did a 7 am BJJ class this morning at Monarchy MMA’s city centre club while travelling through KL. Prof. Diego thought a great class on De La Riva guard and passing the guard. The gym was immaculately clean and club members were very friendly and welcoming. Overall, this morning was a very positive experience. Thank you so much for having me at your gym and I'll be sure to call by again the next time I'm in KL. Oss!

I had the opportunity to join a one-time training session at Monarchy MMA during my week-long stay in KL. The experience was truly enjoyable. The trainer's meticulous focus on the details of technique stood out to me. It's unfortunate that I couldn't extend my stay for a more prolonged training period, but I highly recommend Monarchy MMA for those seeking a quality workout experience even on a short visit!

First time training at Monarchy MMA, went to for the evening no gi class. I have been training for over nine years and it was really good to see some really good Jiu Jitsu and a solid training session. There were some experienced and beginners, Professor Mehdi was really good at providing for everyone. Thanks for the class I’m looking forward to have it this club as my home for the next 2 months

18 year old boy permanently damaged heel joint when a 27-year locked his heel at training even after tapping the partner. Please address safety issues, and specific action taken against the irresponsible student (27 year old). The management had better take action or fail safety standards and face penalties/ lawsuits. Students go to learn and get best knowledge not permanent and lasting damage.

Just went in for the trial boxing class when I was in Malaysia for a visa run and had a great time with it. I can't compare it with anything else but the group we had was a mix and it was a great workout with some drills I've never done before. I had a blast their facilities were good and the location great if you are in Kuala Lumpur near Bukit Bintang or in Chinatown.

i visited many mma gym in kuala lumpur and monarchy mma is definitely the best gym in kuala lumpur and most probably in Malaysia. There are for all tastes and all levels beginner to advanced. The instructors are very professionals. The matted area is great and very clean. I warmly recommended monarchy mma gym big up from france

I need to give Muay Thai Coach Manoel a huge thumbs up. I really enjoyed my session and can only recommend this gym. Especially if you are all new to striking and interested to advance your skills. Also big shout out to the cleanliness of the Gym. I am quite picky and have to say it did not disappoint. Thanks for having me B*

I have been training both Muay Thai and BJJ in there for now about 20 months. The coaches are awesome with a very friendly and effective approach in teaching so anyone can really see progress even not training every day. I also note management efforts in constantly improving the facilities. Definitely the best MMA gym in Malaysia!!!!

My kids trained here for bjj while on holiday from Melbourne. Just thought to train at a different environment and to learn from other master. The training was packed and detail. Coach break down the move in part so that the kids can understand better. We will definitely come back if we travel to KL again. Thanks!

Joined their free trial class just for fun and I did not regret it! Coach Taina is amazing at teaching and explaining basic in boxing. He was friendly and very supportive towards us. Met friendly boxing partner there. It convinced me to subscribe to their membership. I’m excited for my next boxing class. 10/10

The gym is clean and well organized. The classes schedule is organized so it won’t be busy when you attend a class I took PT classes for BJJ with coach Ozama and Mehdi. They arranged the classes in short notice. The coaches are very eager to teach. They answered my questions and corrected me in a nice way.

My 6 year old sons have been going for the boxing class here for the last 1 year. The coaches are firm and friendly especially coach Taina who’s great at explaining and making the classes enjoyable for children. Also, both the city center and the Bangsar branches are clean and tidy. Keep it up!

Really enjoyed my first BJJ class today with Diego Vargas. The management team were very helpful with all my questions through WhatsApp too. Don’t be like me wearing a sleeveless top - cover your shoulders at least for comfort on the mats. 10/10 intro to BJJ - I will keep it up!

Have been doing BJJ here for about a month. The gym is really clean and the coaches are friendly and attentive. The classes are physically challenging and fun, and I've been able to learn a lot. Really enjoyed my time here and always looking forward for the next class.

Visited from America and was very pleased with the experience. Very accommodating, excellent facility, great culture, and all around amazing atmosphere, the next time I visit Malaysia I will certainly be back! Thank you guys for allowing me to train with you! …

Had my first ever introduction to martial arts here - Prof Diego is extremely knowledgeable and helped me learn more about the sport and practice some Jiu Jitsu techniques. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re looking to try out Jiu Jitsu!

The place is clean and well equipped with gym set, martial arts equipments and gears! It was a very easy martial centre for both adults and kids! Our family enjoy it so much with safe and comfortable environment and I'm highly recommend to everyone!

Excellent gym facilities, highly professional coaches, and very helpful staff. This is my second 1-month membership purchase with monarchy and I enjoyed it. Every time I travel to KL I’ll try to fit in a 1-month membership and see old friends again.

Friendly atmosphere with some real killers on the mat. Did a few drop-ins here and although I never understood the class sign-in process, coach Diego Vargas was more than helpful in simply allowing me to just roll. Until next time!

If you wanna be physically, mentally and emotionally combat ready visit monarchy. Monarchy got great and well experienced teachers that will help you Chanel your energy to the right directions and as well as get your mind straight

Had 20 sessions with Taiña and was a great month. Super technical which is exactly what I wanted. I feel my boxing has improved tremendously over the month and helped begin to fill in the gaps in boxing that Muay Thai leaves

I decided to get in touch with Monarchy MMA to train while on holiday. Great people and training partners. Coach Mohsen is an all rounder talented coach wrestling/grappling. Can't wait to try out the other grappling classes.

I am on holiday in KL and I had one and half hour group class in the Gym with Professor Diego last night. Very good instructor and nice training partners there. I will come back to train here for sure if I visit KL again.

Really good class. Did a trial class for my 5 year old. Good focus on agility exercise and getting stance correct. Kids were engaged and coach had a good balance of enforcing discipline and making kids feel comfortable

Very professional coaches and stuff. They are very attending, caring and helpful. I have subscribed for my sons for an entire year and I am very much satisfied with the services provided by Monarchy MMA academy

Great class with Professor Diego. Really professional training and nice clean gym! The other students here were really nice and respectful. Will definitely be coming back for more classes! Thanks Monarchy!
