StandAlone Mixed Martial Arts Academy

This is a great Muay Thai gym in Chico. I train in the Bay Area and was in town for business and wanted to do a class. Very nice facility. I really liked the teachers who were friendly and supportive. I learned some cool techniques and got good feedback on things I needed to pay attention to. Students were friendly too. More...

I think everyone should come to this gym because it's fun, it's healthy, the trainers are the best, the atmosphere is helpful/friendly, and I think the people at this gym genuinely get excited to train with new people and have new experiences. I haven't been to any other mma gym and was nervous to go to StandAlone and try out Muay Thai for my first time ever, but I loved it so much I started trying out all the other classes the gym had to offer. Another reason I think this gym is so cool is I think the coaches and fellow students do a really good job of taking care of new students, and by this I mean they work at your level and build you up from there so you have a good solid foundation in things, and then when you are ready to learn different skills or train at higher levels they are right there for you. I initially started going here for fitness and now I just go to because it's really fun and I enjoy it. More...

I've seen the videos and read all the comments. I've been surfing the net to find the best Muay Thai and judo dojo in Hamilton City as I'll be coming to California in the month of July from India. After struggling for so long I've decided to join Standalone. I've been training in MMA but it has been a history now. I'm looking forward to train very hard and be a Pro. Because my motto is to be an instructor. Hope I get the support. Thanks in advance.. More...

Awesome instruction and technique focus. If you are looking for a gym that knows what they are doing this is it. I have taken both Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu here and the coaches understand what level you are at and are willing to help you advance. Whatever your reason is for doing MMA, this place will teach you what you need to know and get you in shape. I would recommend it to anyone. More...

If you are looking for a place where you can learn all aspects of self defense and enjoy your workouts. Look no further. Standalone MMA offers all that one could want in a martial arts gym. I have personally been training there for over 6 years now. I spent the first couple years learning Muay Thai from Jason and Cedrick, the two owners. They took me in and showed me that you do not need to have any experience in martial arts to be able to learn and enjoy training. I know also train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, in which I am a Blue Belt, as well as grappling.Many people get the initial feeling that everyone who walks out of that gym must be a fighter but that couldn't be further from the truth. Most of the people who train there simply enjoy the workouts and enjoy being challanged not only physically but also mentally. This is a gym full of people from all walks of life, who range from 8-50 years of age, and include both men & women, girls & boys. I could have gone to other gyms after that first day of Kickboxing but they made me feel like a part of the gym from day one. It doesn't matter what field you are looking to explore this gym has it all: Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, traditional boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, grappling, and Strength & Conditioning classes to help you get into some of the best shape you could ever imagine. For those people looking to get their children into a form of athletics they also have children's classes ran by Brandon "Kiba" Ricetti a Brown belt under Anthony Cole. I personally have a niece and a nephew who participate in the classes and they can't get enough. This gym has been great to me and it continues to grow as the best well rounded gyms in Northern California. Whether you try just one class or become a life long member, like myself, just come by and give one class a try. You'll be surprised at what you can learn about yourself both mentally and physically. Bring yourself or your family and try one class you! You'll be glad you did. More...

I've been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for close to 10 years and have not been to many gyms that compare to Standalone in terms of overall quality. Not only will you receive great instruction from top-notch coaches, but the facilities are some of the best around. Whether you're a novice, veteran, or somewhere in-between, Standalone can help you hone your skills and get you in the best shape of your life. More...
