If you’re looking to build confidence in you or your child, this is the place to be! Coach Kurt at Wild West, and his support staff, have changed my son’s life in more ways than one. We will be forever grateful for the decision to come to Wild West. 5 stars!!!
Walking into a gym with no experience can be intimidating but Coach Kurt and the team make you feel welcome right away. Coaches Zephery and Zenon also know what they’re doing and are there whenever you need help. Now I only wish I had joined sooner. Would recommend
This gym is truly something special. The environment is welcoming, and the energy is always positive. Coach is incredibly wise, humble, and kind. he genuinely cares about each and every one of his students, both on and off the mat. The opportunities this gym provides are amazing, whether it’s personal growth, competition, or just becoming part of a supportive community. The bonds that get built here are real and lasting. I’ve never loved a sport or activity as much as I love Jiu Jitsu, and this place is a huge reason why.
I’ve had the best experience at Wild West! They were very open and friendly! I learned new skills and gained confidence! My son has also taken the kids Mauy Thai class and absolutely loved it coach Kurt has a way with teaching the kids he makes it fun while keeping them engaged and improving there skills! I will always come back to this gym! So glad I found them! Definitely worth a try! I
The culture here is second to none. They treat each member with kindness and respect. The drills are informative and useful. Love sparring days, a chance to improve on the skills we have learned.
We love Wild West Training Center. We've been with them for over a year now and they have grown to be family. Everyone is so supportive of one another. Coach Kurt is absolutely AMAZING! His attention to detail and his love for the sport shines through his teachings. We are so grateful to have joined this gym.
Why are you reading this review and not training here?!??! Seriously. If you're anywhere near Carson City and you're not sharpening your skills at Wild West Training Center, you're missing out on one of the most transformative combative sports gyms around.
As someone who’s taught kids Muay Thai and actively trained in BJJ, Wing Chung, and MMA, I don’t say this lightly: every time I walk into WWTC, I walk out better... Coach Kurt and his team are geniune, patient, kind, engaging, and absolutely formidable. They don’t just teach; they elevate.
The combos taught are clean, rhythmic, and intuitive. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned fighter, the flow and training makes sense and feels natural.
I love this gym and the folks that attend it. What can I say, it's a place where humility meets grit. If you want to train somewhere that respects this disclipline, builds strength, and you — this is it. Hands down!!
The gym has a very friendly vibe as soon as you walk in. Our head Coach Kurt Brooks is one of the nicest people I've ever met with an amazing attention to detail. All the equipment is kept clean and maintained. I would recommend Wild West Training Center to anyone who even has a little intrest in self defense or fitness in general. Been going consistently after all these years and this review is still just as accurate, thanks again coach and the WWTC team!
Wild West Training Center provides a top tier experience for all ages! My son, Noe, does Jiu Jitsu classes and I can honestly say all kids should have martial arts experience. It has been incredible to watch him go from a shy, timid kid to being bolder, more confident, and developing at not just Jiu Jitsu but as a young man. Coach Kurt provides a great class that is structured, promotes respect and responsibility, teamwork and strong Jiu Jitsu technique. Noe is always ready to go to class, our first sport where he’s never said “I don’t want to go today”. They provide such a great value for the time and quality of instruction, I highly recommend giving Wild West a try. You may just find your new gym family.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars for this place!! I personally struggle with meeting new people and trying new things so I was extremely grateful for the warm welcoming I received not only from Coach Kurt but EVERYONE who trains here as well. I knew well before my trial period was over that I wanted to keep training here with all of my new made friends. The coaches here take time to help us all one on one to ensure we use proper form/technique!! I can’t believe I get so much joy while getting a great workout!! COME JOIN US!!
I absolutely love training at Wild West Training Center. Everyone here is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive, which made me feel comfortable right away. The coaches really know what they’re doing, and you can tell they genuinely care about helping people improve.
Coach Kurt especially does an amazing job breaking techniques down in a way that makes them easy to understand and apply. I learned so much in just the first couple months of training, and every class pushes me to improve while still being a really positive environment to train in.
I also really appreciate being able to learn both Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai simultaneously here. A lot of gyms I looked at were limited in what they taught, so it’s been awesome finding a place where I can train both and continue growing in each.
Zenon has also been a huge help throughout training. I really appreciate how he’s always giving helpful feedback on ways I can improve and making sure I build good habits from the start instead of picking up bad ones.
If you’re looking for a great place to train Muay Thai or Jiu Jitsu, I highly recommend Wild West Training Center.
Best gym in town for serious fighters and people looking to get in shape and learn self defense!!!
Best around and super friendly.
Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get out of their comfort zone and try something new. Best experience I've ever had walking into something new.
Excellent instructors who are amazing with the kids! Highly recommend!
Wild West Training Center is amazing! My 11 year old daughter has never wanted to try any type of sport but we put her in this to get her into something and she has loved it since the very first day. They are amazing with the kids in class, very patient and really know how to help the kids gain confidence in themselves. I highly recommend them.
My grandson loves the classes. Instructors are excellent with children.
I was nervous at first to start at a new gym but this place has been inviting and friendly! I’ve learned sooo much in the short time I’ve been coming, I’ve gained new skills and knowledge I love how they take the time to show you how to properly do each move. So glad I found this place!
Great coaching staff. Teach excellent fundamentals, very useful skills. Top tier community of exceptional people.
