The best gym for boxing. From the moment I’ve signed up a few weeks back till now, I’ve felt very welcomed and the facilities are brilliant. It feels like a proper gym to train and can’t recommend it enough. Definitely underrated and deserves more recognition.

Coach Wael has built a little piece of heaven in Al Areen. I walked in for a trial class and signed up immediately for the Filipino Martial Arts class and later the Strength class. There's a deep respect between students and facilitators. The coaches are personable and professional. I'm so glad we found this amazing center.

I had the most amazing experience at Al Areen Martial Arts! One of our colleagues invited me and others for an Executive Martial Arts Discovery Experience. I decided to give it a try, as I have always wanted to learn self-defense being petite and all. I’m so glad I did because Coach Wael and Coach Nel were amazing and are outstanding professionals. It's a small Emirati family-owned business, and I personally saw the care and dedication they put into each class. What struck me most was how welcoming they were to beginners like us. We didn't feel the least bit intimidated or uncomfortable. Coach Wael also challenging enough for people like me who have zero experience, which made it even more fun. I learned the basics of defense, blocking, parrying (with and without weapons), and so much more. The class covered not just physical fitness, but Coach Wael shared insights on what martial arts truly means, having discipline, dealing with mental health, and becoming stronger both inside and out. I can't recommend Al Areen Martial Arts enough. Whether you're a beginner or have experience, this place is perfect for all ages.
