Tran's Martial Arts & Fitness

Fantastic experience: We have loved attending Tran's. Our oldest has been attending for just over 4 years and our youngest will be attending soon as well. They work so well with the kids and do great at motivating them to focus and do their best. They emphasize the importance of self discipline and self control but in a flexible and light hearted way that kids can appreciate, we would definitely recommend them for both kids and adult lessons.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, your kids will enjoy

Fantastic experience: Amazing instruction, great community, a great place to build strength and skill

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this gym for almost 2 years now. The community is great and coaches are top notch and supportive. I love the combo of fitness and self defense!

Fantastic experience: This is a gym focused on community, respect, and self-improvement. I highly recommend this place to martial arts beginners and veterans alike!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place!!! Amazing people, plenty of space, both mats and weight room, simply everything you need to get in shape and stay in shape! Knowledge teachers and great mentors! 10 stars!!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about TMA Boulder! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a clean, well-maintained space that reflects their high standards of professionalism. The gym is spotless, well-organized, and always has a welcoming atmosphere. The instructors are top-notch—knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping each student improve. Their professionalism shines through in every class, ensuring that both beginners and experienced martial artists feel challenged and supported. What really sets TMA Boulder apart is the friendly and inclusive environment. Everyone, from the staff to fellow students, is welcoming and encouraging, making it an ideal place to train, grow, and push yourself. Whether you're looking to learn self-defense, build confidence, or just get an amazing workout, this is the place to be! Highly recommend to anyone considering martial arts training!

Fantastic experience: TMA Boulder is a beautiful facility with great staff and it is super clean. They have a strong commitment to their community. It’s such a pleasure to train in their community and I cannot recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Clean , spacious and everyone there is extremely welcoming !

Fantastic experience: I always appreciate when I walk into a gym and the first thing I notice is how clean & nice it smells. I had a blast learning with a strong group of ladies. We all got to expand our skills. It was such good energy, and the coaches were great. The experience made me feel comfortable to really test my ability to execute violence in a controlled environment. I love feeling safe while training. I highly recommended you come check out a class you may just find your next new favorite hobby!

Fantastic experience: This place is the best. It’s a family and you work hard. Kids love it and so do the adults. Been here 15 years! In great shape!

Fantastic experience: My family (me, wife, daughters) have been coming to TMA for the past year. The coaches are great and the community is very supportive. Both in class and sparring you definitely feel like everyone is trying to help you improve. I intend to train TMA for years until all 5 members of the family are black belts!

Fantastic experience: Awesome martial arts school. Instructors are top notch and care about their students and the development of their students. I can’t recommend this school enough.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and a great place to learn for beginners.

Fantastic experience: We have enjoyed this past summer months training one on one with Ms. Allison at the dojo. I have 2 daughters who not only learned self defense skills but also, built up on their self confidence. They did an awesome job on teaching us in a safe and fun environment. Hands down the best dojo around..thank you for teaching us and joining in our shenanigans as well.

Fantastic experience: My daughter took private kickboxing and self defense sessions from Allison and it was such a great experience. Allison was sensitive but still pushed my daughter to reach higher limits. Allison is so knowledgeable and the gym is so clean and comfortable, we highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Kru Z and Kru Allison created the gold standard for youth martial arts programs. Amazing environment for kids.

Fantastic experience: Our family loves everything about Tran's Martial Arts and we highly recommend any classes/programs there!

Fantastic experience: I have had a very positive experience with this program and the team is authentically family friendly, and clearly know how to teach. My 10 year old daughter found a community of girls that are as interested in martial arts as she is and this has been an absolute game changer. My daughter said the private instruction to try it out was key to her decision. We checked out another program before signing up for this one. The teacher didn't even make eye contact and the music from the adult class was so loud no one could hear the instructions. Joining Tran's was one of those rare easy decision.

Fantastic experience: The best Dojo in the front range.

Fantastic experience: Just joined the gym this April, and I think it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. Everyone is very friendly, supportive, and understanding of everyone’s unique personal pace of growth. Definitely learning a lot everyday and excited to learn more!

Fantastic experience: A wonderful facility and experienced instructors. I’ve been in martial arts and fitness for over 15 years and I can honestly say Trans Martial arts & Fitness is the place to train in Boulder. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Fantastic experience: When I arrived for a free drop in with a friend last spring I was an IMMEDIATE “Yes!” This is the FIRST MMA gym I’ve trained in although I had heard some pretty gnarly “gym stories” in General from other women, which had put me off checking out gyms before. So the ENERGY of the Space and the Classes was incredibly Important to me. Also, there was an Elder who was returning to the Dojo after complete knee replacement surgery. And I had NO way to know it, but he’d be a LightHouse for me. I had a freak accident and broke my foot a few months into my Membership. Having that Elders Example, His modeling of YES! we CAN get back into the gym AFTER this process! I would often tap back into that in dark moments of my recovery- 12 weeks nonweighbearing ! The Family Vibe and Community Spirit of this Gym has been so Supportive for me and I would recommend this Dojo to anyone's! Come Check It Out !

Fantastic experience: Awesome Team and coaches! TMA is great for developing mind, body and spirit.

Fantastic experience: Great dojo with top notch coaches and a very welcoming family atmosphere. Great for kids and adults to learn, train and be apart of the community.

Fantastic experience: We feel so blessed to have found a dojo home in Boulder. Cry Z and Cru Allison are fantastic with our 5-year-old Jack and the practice has translated off the mat, as well. Highly reco!!!

Fantastic experience: Kru Allison and Kru Z have made such a welcoming and fun space for kids to learn martial arts, respect, and discipline. Our kid is so obsessed that she wants to go every day and even stays sometimes to watch the older kids because she can't wait to do what they do. The older kids that help with her class are deeply impressive with their skills and leadership, which is further testament to the environment they've created and their skill as coaches. Our littlest, who is too young to start, always wants to pop in to 'practice'. They're so encouraging to both our children, and we couldn't be more grateful! I've also gone as an adult for a special women's only series and loved it!

Fantastic experience: This is the best studio I’ve ever been to. Everyone here is so kind and patient. I work with Allison the most. She has excellent intuition and can figure out exactly what I’m struggling with before I even realize it, then adapt our work so that I can understand and implement the moves better. This studio is also amazing about hygiene and cleanliness, which is awesome especially because of how crazy the pandemic has been! If you are looking for any kind of martial arts or even self defense, I highly recommend you come here. It’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Fantastic experience: Kru Allison and Kru Zolon are both fantastic! We have been coming to TMA for over two years now when my 5 and 7 year olds (now 7 and 9) wanted to become Ninjas. While that phase has passed both boys have grown so much both in their skill-level and discipline and are dedicated to continuing their belt journey. I would 10/10 recommend TMA to anyone exploring the benefits of martial arts for their family.

Fantastic experience: Tran's Martial Arts & Fitness is both professional and familial. Everyone is supportive of all students at all levels. Kru Allison and Kru Z are a great team. They get to know their students and work with whatever learning style is needed. It's amazing to watch a room full of little kids running around one second and jump in line, ready to learn, the next second. You can tell the kids love it and love their coaches. I highly recommend Tran's Martial Arts & Fitness for any age and any ability.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility and staff!

Fantastic experience: Joining the the TMA family has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. Our kids have truly found a second home at the dojo and true mentors in Kru Allison and Kru Z. We are grateful for their warmth, their kindness, their communication and for the genuine care and respect they have for our kids. It's been a remarkable and rewarding experience and we could not be happier. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Its a great place for a great workout that is fun and varied, lead by some outstanding instructors.

Fantastic experience: Our family is a big fan of Tran's Martial Arts! My son has been attending their Lil Dragons program for over a year and we can't say enough about the welcoming, supportive, and disciplined environment. They teach life lessons that carry over into our home lives. Highly recommend Tran's!

Fantastic experience: It's not just another martial arts club, it's a family! Thanks a lot Kru Allison and Kru Z for your teachings, patience, and kindness. My son, who is ten now, values every session with you! Highly recommended to kids and adults alike.

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love the entire experience and staff at Trans! Everything they teach resonates with our children and their messaging translates into everyday life. We are so thankful to have found Trans!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility and great programs for kids.

Fantastic experience: This is an incredible place. My tween daughter started kickboxing here, and has had incredible opportunities to build community, learn about herself, set goals, and more. It is so much more than a place to work out. It is a place to be strong and a network of people cheering you along the way.

Fantastic experience: Allison and her husband throw so much passion into creating a warm and welcoming environment at this gym. It was because of this that I was not only able to improve physically, but also mentally. I will be forever grateful for my experience at their gym and will carry their practices with me for the rest of my life:)

Fantastic experience: For 25yrs I've tried different gyms & workouts. Nowhere has stuck & motivated me more than Trans Martial Arts in Boulder, CO. The dojo, the trainers, and my fellow students are all amazing! I ALWAYS feel better walking out of there.

Fantastic experience: I have only had positive experiences here! Sometimes joining a martial arts gym can be intimidating but they make everyone feel at home. Everyone is kind and willing to help you no matter your skill level. The instructors are awesome and you'll always get a great work out!

Fantastic experience: The community is the best of any place I’ve ever trained. The Zoluns go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and at home while in the dojo. The kickboxing classes are great for getting into shape and learning a lot of the basics you’ll need in Muay Thai. The Muay Thai classes have a solid curriculum that helps you develop all the skills needed while encouraging personal growth.

Fantastic experience: As one who walked in with no martial arts training and no idea what to expect, I was quite nervous. But Kru Allison and Kru Z along with the other students made me feel instantly welcome. I look forward to my classes and absorbing the breadth of knowledge.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional environment for adult beginners and experts alike. Get fit while learning practical skills with coaches and other students who care about you as an individual and about your progress and safety. Supportive, professional, and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! The owners/instructors are fantastic! Both my husband and I and our two sons have been coming here for two years and we’ve seen a great improvement in our health and well-being. They also help the kids learn respect and responsibility; it’s built into the belt requirements. A great overall program where you can experience connection with the awesome and kind group of people that train here. No egos. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Two of my children have been training here for for almost two years now, and they love it. The instructors and coaches are excellent and very supportive. It is such a great community that I have decided to restart my own martial arts journey too.

Fantastic experience: The Zoluns are amazing teachers/trainers. My son knew from the very first class that he wanted to learn from them after checking out several dojos. You won’t be disappointed when considering Tran’s Boulder for you or your family!

Fantastic experience: Love this place ! It’s great! The Zoluns are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: The transformation I witnessed in my daughter after working with Allison is unmeasurable. When my daughter began training, she was a shell of who she used to be due to the trauma she experienced earlier in life. Allison's one-on-one training restored my daughter's confidence, strength, and connection to her mind and body. Allison tailored her training to fit my daughter's needs and worked patiently with her as she instilled the tools she needed to thrive and feel safe as a young woman. I cannot speak more highly of this place, and Allison specifically. I am forever grateful for her and the work she does.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love it here! The instructors are knowledgeable and welcoming, and the workouts are fun and challenging. I could not recommend it more!!

Fantastic experience: Whether you are just getting started or have previously done martial arts, Tran’s is the place to be. The Zolun’s and their community are the best! Voted Best of the west Boulder county ‘22 and ‘23. You owe it to yourself to check it out!

Fantastic experience: Excellent workouts and such a welcoming community!

Fantastic experience: The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, humble, and encouraging! I'm very grateful I found this place.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter absolutely loves Tran's Martial Arts! It's a wonderful, educational and positive environment.

Fantastic experience: Trans Martial Arts has exceeded all my expectations. Having not considered myself a "martial arts person", I started kickboxing about 3 years ago. I got completely hooked on the camaraderie and great workouts. Kru Allison and Kru Z are so supportive and friendly. They are super supportive and encouraging of this almost 50 year old's goal of getting her black belt in Muay Thai. I can't recommend Trans high enough for people of all ages and abilities.

Fantastic experience: Cannot say enough good things about Tran's! I've always wanted to try martial arts/MMA but never worked up the nerve to start - I'm 30 and had literally never been to a gym in my life, working out always seemed too intimidating. I'm so glad that I went for it - the Muay Thai classes at Tran's are now the highlight of my week. Kru Allison and Kru Z are so welcoming and knowledgable, and you can tell the moment you walk in how much respect they have for the sport, their students, and their dojo. All of the other students are supportive and friendly and it really feels like a community. And the classes are fun, intense, and the best workout you will ever have. If you are at all interested in trying MMA, go for it and try a class here! And, a special call out to any women who are interested but maybe a little nervous to start - we have a great, supportive group of women in Muay Thai classes right now who attend regularly, and Kru Allison is passionate about getting more women into MMA and has done an amazing job of making sure that we feel not just welcome at the dojo, but also inspired, confident, and strong in the sport!

Fantastic experience: Exceptional place with fast and fun classes for all level athletes: a place to learn and master the arts, build character and nurture respect for self, family and community. Love our Tran’s Martial Arts school! Clean, safe and skilfully guided. A place for invaluable embodied resilience learning.

Fantastic experience: It takes a village and our boys involvement in TMA has reinforced the lessons of confidence, respect and kindness we instill in them at home. Kru Allison and Kru Z have a created a fun learning environment for them to gain confidence and skills that will go beyond the gym .We love being a part of the TMA community!

Fantastic experience: TMA has single-handedly changed our lives!! My son has grown both physically and mentally and increased his confidence significantly. He’s more in control of his emotions, because he has a healthy outlet to move his energy! Not only is Tran’s like a second family to us, their dedication to their craft is unparalleled! Kru Z and Kru Allison are some of the hardest working people I know and they make it a point for each and every single member to feel included and important. They have made some huge improvements on the aesthetics of the building, which is an added plus. But most of all - it’s their energy, enthusiasm, and sheer passion that make this place the best dojo in Boulder County!! Cannot recommended them enough. Come see for yourself and let yourself be ‘Trans’-formed!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome instructors and community for the whole family!

Fantastic experience: Both of my kids (9 and 11) have been going here for several years now. They have made huge strides no only in their martial arts and self defense skills, but also in their fitness, confidence and, development good humans. I can't say enough good things about Kru Z and Kru Allison. They have an obvious passion that translates into their teaching and class management. 10 stars!

Fantastic experience: Love this dojo. It’s an amazing supportive community and super fun work out!

Fantastic experience: It is 2:30 am, July 12th as I write this. The last couple years have been the most difficult I've experienced yet. I'm out on a late night stroll, the last couple weeks have been something of a turning point; transformative... I have lived only minutes away (walking) for the past 7 years, and i have even been to a couple of businesses that share the same building as TMA... yet i never noticed that this place existed, until this seemingly fateful night. It stood out to me— struck me as a necessity to be a part of— for inexplicable reasons... On another day, I will add a revision to offer a more substantive review for others, but for now... See you tomorrow.

Fantastic experience: Tran’s Martial Arts is a very special place for me, I joined when I first moved to Boulder in 2017 and haven’t left! Tran’s is not just a martial arts center, it is a family. The instructors and students alike, push you mentally and physically to better yourself inside and outside the dojo. Whether you have never thrown a punch or kick in your life or have been training elsewhere for years, Tran’s Martial Arts caters to everyone. Do yourself a favor, stop coming up with excuses or procrastinating, come in and find out for yourself how truly awesome this place is!

Fantastic experience: Easily the best dojo to go and train. Everyone is so friendly and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive!! DEFINITLY recommend if you are looking for a place that will challenge you and help you grow in a healthy and supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: Tran's Martial Arts does a great job of teaching important life skills, building a family community and having fun. The Dojo is welcoming to all ages, fitness levels and backgrounds. If you are thinking about trying a martial art or just want a new fitness challenge, you owe it to yourself to check out Tran's

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about TMA, such a great place with great people. Whatever your goals may be, they will help you realize them and so much more. I've been able to push myself physically and mentally further than I ever thought possible. My only regret is not starting my journey here years earlier. Don't hesitate, start your journey today, you won't regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough wonderful things about Cru Z and Cru Allison. It is such a welcoming community, and my kids get so much more than just a fun place to expend some energy. They are learning self-respect and respect of others, to value family and community, and to harness their energy in a powerful and positive way. We love Tran's!!

Fantastic experience: Just an awesome place to workout, learn self defense and meet great people.

Fantastic experience: My kiddos have been going to TMA Boulder for over a year now. It has been nothing but a blessing. Kru Z and Kru Allison are fantastic instructors and it's been a true pleasure sending my kids. Not only are they knowledgeable on the martial arts end of things but also, it's been nice to see them do some community building with the students in the way of summer squirt gun fights, holiday parties, costume days, community food drives and many other kind hearted actions. This is a good place ran by great people and I highly recommend Trans Martial Arts Boulder to anyone looking to build a solid martial arts foundation for their children. While I do not attend the adult classes I have met many of the students and I have noticed a great sense of community, humbleness and an overall accepting and enviting attitude.

Fantastic experience: Not only a gym where you just go, have a workout and come back home. All the Krus (instructors) put extra effort to create a community environment and motivate you to push harder and live better.

Fantastic experience: Everybody is so nice and it a very safe and fun environment. The classes are very enjoyable and give you real life skills.

Fantastic experience: Just started coming a little over a month ago. Never done martial arts before in my life. Really like the environment. Everyone is very welcoming and encouraging. The variety of classes is perfect for me and I'm really happy when I leave. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to get into martial arts or with lots of experience.

Fantastic experience: Jennifer McGuire I cannot recommend Trans Martials Arts highly enough! My daughter began the "Little Dragons" program 18 months ago, and the positive effect it has had on her--mind, body and spirit--is undeniable. My children have participated dozens of sports/activities over many years, and I can say without hestitation that the Little Dragons program is the best "activity" investment we have made. Master Tran and Kru Logevall are THE most present teachers and positive influences that any child could have. Our "spirited" child works so hard to make the right choices both in the dojo AND at home so that she can bask in Master Tran's and Kru's praise. They celebrate when children show respect, resilience, focus, and generosity toward others. All of this emphasis on developing strong character traits takes place within a fun, energetic, and SILLY environment. Since the COVID-19 pandemic unpended all of our lives, our family has cut back on our children's activities. Little Dragons in the singular activity that we have continued with because, simply put, Master Tran and Kru are integral to our child's development. Moreover, we are thrilled that our child has the option to participate outdoors to minimize exposure to COVID so that she doesn't have to part ways with her favorite teachers.

Fantastic experience: Tran's Martial Arts is a fantastic place to learn, get in shape, gain confidence, and be a part of a community. I had zero experience with martial arts, or even going to the gym, before I began taking classes here, but right from the beginning they were welcoming and supportive. I've been attending classes for over two years now and am so thankful I decided to join. Master Tran, Kru, and all the instructors are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and invested in helping their students. Whether you are totally new to martial arts like I was, or an experienced nak muay, I cannot recommend Tran's Martial Arts enough.

Fantastic experience: I can say that being a part of this dojo has been life changing for me. I started here not long ago, after a random assualt while out walking one night that shook my confidence and made me realize how unprepared I was for certain situations. Even in a bigger class I feel like I'm getting individual attention from the instructors to make sure that I'm doing the moves correctly and effectively. They care about the success of each of their students and are some of the most encouraging and kind people I've encountered. The Krav Maga classes will teach you valuable self defense skills, and the Transfit and Kickboxing classes are just tough enough and incredibly rewarding. I've gained my confidence back (plus some), and my motivation and self discipline has increased since becoming a student here. I HIGHLY recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: The Lil Dragons class has been a wonderful experience for my boys ages 5 and 7. The instructors are great!

Fantastic experience: Excellent program and instructors. My children enjoy their time in class and have fun, they are proud of the achievements they earn in class. Core to the class is that the instructors work to instill self-discipline, respect and hard work in the students - and set the expectation that students should demonstrate these values at home, in school and in the dojo.

Fantastic experience: Tran's is great! Our 5 and 7 year old attend. Their focus is on teaching martial arts and life skills (which has been great for our family.) Today we just completed their belt test which ended with new belts (martial arts skills), medals (life skills), and a trophy (110% award for the 7 yo.) Truly a great place! Go support them!

Fantastic experience: Truly incredible. All around an amazing Martial Arts studio with kind, encouraging instructors and an entire community who will welcome you like they've known you forever. You will constantly be challenged and guided in becoming the best version of yourself. Not intimidating being a new member and after one class I assure you you'll feel stronger.

Fantastic experience: A martial arts school can be an intimating place, but Master Tran has created an extremely nice and welcoming environment. He and his students couldn't have been nicer. The Krav Maga class was challenging yet very enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Great environment, very supportive and friendly. Humble practice.

Fantastic experience: Joining the Tran's family was one of the most life changing decisions I have ever made. Every class, encounter and experience at the Dujo is one that makes me a better individual, partner and teammate. Tran's Martial arts not only trains your body but more importantly your mind. Master Tran and his entire team are living inspirations to be the best possible version of YOU, you can be. I would recommend the Tran's program to all fitness levels; this is a community of people that all share a common passion of creating a positive environment to learn, grow and be well!

Fantastic experience: Master Tran is the most dedicated marital arts instructor I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I spent just one year training Thai KickBoxing and Muay Thai with Master Tran and Kru Logevall and am absolutely dumbfounded at the results. This is a true martial arts school that focuses not only on the physical body, but also the rigors of staying mentally fit and aware. You will see immediate results. I wish to anybody with a basic curiosity in any form of Martial Arts or self-defense to take a chance. This is not a leap of faith. This is an educated and wonderful choice that will definitely reward you in the long run. The community here is incredible supportive and you'll find yourself feeling respected by every single patron who walks through the door.

Fantastic experience: Simply the best. Awesome staff, great workout and an incredible dojo! RECOMENDED FOR ALL!

Fantastic experience: Tran's Martial Arts is truly a special place! I've never had such a positive experience working out. Master Tran, Kru Logevall, and all the other staff at Tran's are incredibly helpful and supportive...even in a full class they will find the time to work with you as an individual and give you constructive feedback, motivation, and encouragement. And the students are such a welcoming, fun group that I can't wait to get to class and see who is there. I never in my life thought I would want to work toward earning a Muay Thai black belt and now I find myself obsessing about it day and night! The fitness kickboxing and Transfit classes are fast moving, super fun workouts that will definitely make you feel like you've earned your dinner. And I think EVERY woman and girl should know the self defense moves they teach in the Krav Maga class! I never used to like working out, but going to Tran's is such a great experience that now I want to go as often as I can. It's the best part of my day! I fell healthier, stronger, and more fit than I ever have before. Thanks to everyone at Tran's for your motivation, positivity, and encouragement! (And to anyone out there reading this: If you are thinking about coming in to try it...DO! I promise you won't regret it!)

Fantastic experience: Muy buenos maestros

Fantastic experience: The best.

Fantastic experience: This place has changed my whole life for the better in a way I just can't put down in words. I was about 12 years old when I joined, and this Martial Arts school has helped lay the most stable foundations of my life now; honor, respect, kindness, faith, honesty, diligence, thoughtfulness, self discipline, and the ability to free my mind and body of stress when needed. If I hadn't been living so far away and moving around so often, I would have never left this school. I intend to re-join as soon as I possibly can. I've always thought to myself, "when I have kids, I want to send them to this school so they can learn the values I learned".
