What Students Are Saying

The room matters, but so does what people say after they have spent real time in it. These are visible Google reviews from beginners, locals, and long-term members.

★★★★★

Team Black is the best place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu/Muay Thai/MMA in the Antioch/Brentwood/Oakley area. Head instructor Dan is super knowledgeable and has over 30 years experience in all aspects of the fight game. He is a thoughtful, caring, compassionate human being that constantly goes the extra mile for all his students. When you train here you really become part of a family. Dan has coached professional fighters at the championship level all the way to soccer moms and kids who just want a workout and some self defense training. Team Black has something for everyone, definitely the best place to train in the East Bay.

★★★★★

Best Muay Thai / MMA gym in the Bay Area. I originally started to lose weight, but I ended up learning new life skills and had my first Muay Thai fight last December. I’m looking forward to my next one. I ended up losing over 40 lbs since I started. Coach Dan is super cool and knowledgeable. Everyone in the gym is friendly and patient.

Health & Performance

Fighting the Real Enemy.

The number one killer of Americans isn't violence — it's metabolic disease. Heart disease, diabetes, obesity. All largely preventable. All treatable through real exercise, real discipline, and real nutrition.

Coach Dan Black has seen martial arts transform people who thought they had no options left. Team Black isn't just a fight gym — it's a health intervention for people who need something real, not another fitness trend.
