Sam Lumpini Gym

I've been training at Sam's gym for 2 years now. It's a proud gym with great coaching from Sam Lumpini as well as many fighters to learn from. Sam's years of training and no non-sense approach to self defence makes for a well developed system. This is a gym for everyone, kid's, beginners and fighters looking to improve on skills or add some tricks to their arsenal. It's a friendly environment where you get lots of personal attention and you'll always feel welcome walking through the door. Lumpini Fighting System is a great place to train.

Love the place, people, and atmosphere. I wish I can come more, family and far commutes from where I live keep me away, but I make the time to come, worth the drive. Coach Sam is VERY knowledgeable in his arts. He'll answer any questions you have when you ask. His members are all very respectful. I am a traditional karate guy, but Sam's curriculum has helped me improve all ranges in the game. Prices are in the ball park and fair.

Sam Lumpini is the best coach I have had in any type of athletics over my entire life. Sam Lumpini is very knowledgeable when it comes to the skill of teaching Sam Lumpini is able to teach all types of learners. Sam Lumpini never gives up on his students and see the real potential in all of his students. Even in group classes the attention and detail he shows towards each one of his students is almost like a private lesson. I am very thankful to have him as a coach!

I've been to a number of gyms and they could never really get me to stick, either through lack of attention or so so teaching. Let me tell you the one thing that matters: I want to go to this gym everyday.The teaching is excellent, with Sam providing you not only with the tools to defend yourself but the proper guidance on using those skills. Unlike many other gym's, the classes and process here do not serve to inflate your ego. The first priority is how to stay safe (in the ring and on the street) and Sam's experience ensures you will never run out of things to learn.The environment is extremely friendly and very welcoming to all, with students of various experience levels. I find there is always someone to help out and my fitness level has increased exponentially!Definitely recommend!

I have trained in many martial arts for 30 years. I have not mastered any. I am not sure if this qualifies me to rate anyone. What it qualifies me for is knowing a fighter when I see one. I have been fortunate to cross paths with many instructors and all have their qualities. Some you know right away that they can fight and teach. Sam is a fighter who can teach. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable coach. I have been attending classes at the club when my schedule allows for almost 4 years. I would say Sam Lumpini is old school in his expectations, and that is, he responds to dedication and hard work. He is a master and is there every night. He teaches first hand and this is rare in clubs today. If you work hard and commit to learning then you will progress. I have only trained Krav there and have learned valuable concepts which require training and repetition to perfect but also simple concepts which are life savers and quick to learn.In conclusion I have a great deal of respect for Sam Lumpini as a person, coach and a fighter. See for yourself and commit to train hard and you will have found a great teacher.

Sam Lumpini Gym has always been 100% honest, respectful, and the environment is always happy and friendly. Everyone is always laughing during stretches and enjoying themselves. Sam Lumpini is very professional and has never disrespected any of his students. Sam Lumpini gym has been an amazing resource for many people and will continue to be! I give it 5/5!!

Without a doubt joining Lumpini Gym was the best thing ever happened to my physical fitness and my mental well being.I have been training there 4 times a week for the past 5 years. My striking and self defense skills as well as understanding true values of martial arts have improved immensely.Sam Lumpini is an outstanding coach who pays attention to every little detail. He is constantly offering new ideas and techniques as you progress.I clearly rate him as an elite trainer and proudly look up to him professionally and personally.Master Sam lives by decency, integrity and humility, he conducts his profession/business with high values of honesty and honour.

I have been training with Sam for over 5 years; and have found him to be one if the most dedicated martial arts instructors I've ever trained with. He possesses a level of skill that I have not seen in other Martial arts instructors in Toronto.I myself have trained in Shukokai Karate for over 10 years - but after moving to Canada 8 years ago - could not find a Shukokai dojo in Toronto. I then spent the next 3 years looking for a suitable martial arts instructor.After training at 3 other clubs and leaving all within the first 3 months; I found Sam - who is the only instructor that I not only respect, but I believe could take my martial arts training to the next level.Sam has always treated me in a fair and honest manner.

I know Sam way back from my time in Portugal, which is almost 10 years ago. I trained with him during more than 4 years to the point that I became Krav Maga instructor under his association. I can say without any doubt that he is in the top 5 of the instructors I trained with. I have been training in martial arts for more than 25 years. I studied around 15 martial arts, combat sports and self-defense systems. So I guess it means something. His fighting skills, his technique and his sense of tactics are really impressive. As a person, Sam has always been very supportive with his students within and outside of the gym. He is a honest man who speaks his mind and keep his words. I highly recommend the Lumpini Gym to beginners who wants to start with good basis as well as seasoned fighters who want to take their skills to the next level.
