Change your life with us
About us
Our mission
It is the people that count
Simply put, our mission is to help you, “Change Your Life With Us.” After spending time in our facility and with our team we want our members to walk out of our doors after a workout and feel like they are a better version of themselves.
​
It isn't the scientific sum of calories, workouts, and weight that keeps our members returning. It is not the cutting-edge equipment and technology. It is the people that count.
​
Our team cares about guiding and encouraging each and every member to obtain the goals they seek for themselves. Our members' goals are specific and if we can assist in that journey to realizing their aspirations then we have truly helped them change their life.
​
The team
Guided, encouraged, and driven
Every class is coached start to finish. We believe in building people first and fighters second — discipline, confidence, and resilience carry over long after the bell rings. Whether you are here to get in shape, learn self-defense, or compete, our team meets you where you are and pushes you toward where you want to be.

Head Coach / Kru
“The Axe”
LoBianco
Anthony “The Axe” LoBianco is a two-time Thailand Stadium Champion and Head Coach of Garden Grove Muay Thai. Students know him as Coach Anthony or Kru. He has spent more than 24 years training, competing, and teaching Muay Thai and kickboxing.
He started martial arts at nine years old. The sport gave him strength, confidence, and a path that became his life. For years, he trained and competed while working at Kaiser—running and shadowboxing in the street on lunch breaks while co-workers doubted him.
He left that path, committed fully to training, and earned the opportunity to fight in Thailand at Max Muay Thai and Bangla Stadium.
Most importantly, he builds fighters and champions from the ground up—and keeps them winning. He teaches adults and kids, opened Garden Grove Muay Thai in 2020, and has been recognized by the Mayor of Garden Grove as the city’s top martial arts gym.
