Why Our Muay Thai Is Different

A lot of striking gyms think hard sparring is the only way to improve. We disagree.

At Carlson Gracie Inland Valley, we believe you shouldn’t have to dread going to class. Our Muay Thai Kickboxing program is built around a simple principle: You don’t need to take damage to gain skill.

We have replaced the “gym war” mentality with a curriculum that focuses on:

  • Technical Precision: We prioritize clean technique over toughness.

  • Light Contact: We use controlled drills for faster learning, allowing you to try new things without fear of getting hit hard.

  • Injury Avoidance: We train for long-term progress, not short-term glory.

  • Smart Fitness: Get in the best shape of your life by training smart, not just by surviving the rounds.

This approach creates a supportive, non-intimidating atmosphere where you can develop clean striking and sharp timing without fear—which is how real skills actually grow.

Coached Under Tim Rennick’s Leadership

Our Muay Thai Kickboxing program is coached by Tim Rennick’s trusted instructor team, under his direct leadership.

Tim is a BJJ Black Belt World Champion, but his reputation goes far beyond his medals. He is respected throughout the martial arts community for a specific approach to coaching:

  • Highly Technical: Detail-oriented teaching that works for everyone.

  • Intelligent Training: A gentle approach that prioritizes longevity.

  • Skill Over Wars: A focus on development rather than “gym wars.”

  • Safety First: A deep commitment to the safety of his students.

The “Rennick Standard” Those same principles guide our Muay Thai Kickboxing classes. Tim leads the curriculum and sets the coaching standards, ensuring that every instructor teaches in alignment with his philosophy: Technical. Controlled. Safe. Effective.

So, while a trusted member of Tim’s team runs the day-to-day classes, you are still getting a program shaped by his world-class mindset and attention to detail.

A True Team Environment

At Carlson Gracie Inland Valley, the culture is just as important as the technique. We have worked hard to build an environment where:

  • Everyone supports each other: We rise by lifting others.

  • Training partners look after each other: Safety is a shared responsibility.

  • Newcomers are welcomed: You are part of the team from day one.

  • Progress is celebrated: Every step forward matters.

Whether it is Gi Jiu Jitsu or No Gi Jiu Jitsu / Submission Wrestling, the owner Tim is a black belt world champion in both disciplines as well as a former D1 wrestler. He also has a Muay Thai and Wrestling program and you will see his material on BJJ Fanatics. Classes are relaxed and technical and he has an ability as a coach to articulate complex ideas into simple concepts that anyone can grasp. Kids classes are fun and games based. Great gym!

My daughter and son are currently enrolled in Carlson Gracie Inland Valley Jiu Jitsu School. They both enjoy going and practicing with their friends. Plenty of seasoned male and female helpers on hand to guide the young students. Bring plenty of cold water to keep you hydrated. These kids seem to enjoy each other's company, and if they need help or don't fully understand the move they are practicing, just say " Professor " I need some help. and that's what they will get. 👍

I've been training at Carlson Gracie Inland Valley for a little over two years now, along with my daughter(12) and twin boys (10). It has been a tremendous benefit to all of us. Jiu-jitsu is so much more than what you see on the mats. It develops character, perseverance, fortitude, and focus. Professor Tim is a great teacher, patient, detailed, and as passionate as anyone could be about the sport. He makes Jiu-jitsu fun to learn and I'm always excited to go to class. All the guys and gals that train there are great people, super nice and fun to be around. It's a great place to be! There are tons of kids that train there too, and my kids have enjoyed every minute of it. I encourage everyone to come in and take a class and see for yourself, I started at 43 years old and you can too, Jiu-jitsu will take care of the rest!

Professor Tim and all the coaches are fantastic with both the kids and adult classes. Superior instruction, always patient and helpful. The community of other students is incredibly supportive and friendly. Could not recommend highly enough. If you're thinking about signing up, do it today, you'll only regret not doing it sooner. I started with ZERO wrestling or fight experience and training BJJ has now become a huge part of my life. Signing up was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my physical / mental health!

Great learning environment!! My son just started training here this year and immediately loved the sport. Professor Tim is very kind, cares about the kids and is very knowledgeable. All the coaches there have been nothing but amazing. The growth you get to witness in these kids even in a short period of time is undeniable. We were in between this school and another when browsing around, did a trial class at each and I’m extremely happy we chose to be here.

Our son has been training here for two years, and the growth in his confidence, strength, and skill has been incredible. Professor Tim and the coaches are amazing—supportive, disciplined, and truly care about their students. Our son loves every class and has grown so much both on and off the mat. Highly recommend!

While the benefits are numerous, Carlson Gracie Inland Valley has helped my sons build strength, endurance and gave them the confidence to overcome challenges that they didn’t think they could do. They both look forward to grappling because they like to see who is stronger than the other. My kids have stayed committed for the past three years and at times I catch them talking amongst each other about the day they will get their black belt. Although that day is far from here; it has been a great experience so far watching them better themselves. Since day one, Professor Tim along with the rest of the coaches there, have provided my sons with the guidance and motivation to continue on with this life-changing journey.

Carlson Gracie Wildomar offers world-championship instruction and a welcoming atmosphere for kids and adults. Professor Tim is an awesome coach and really pays attention to detail when teaching submissions, take downs or whatever the “move of the day” might be. The people I’ve met have quickly become my friends (even though we’re trying to break each others arms). It truly feels like a home away from home. Whether you’re training for fun or competition, this is the place to be!
Jamie Faucette
I couldn't recommend Carlson Gracie enough! My son started working with coach Tim and his amazing staff 2 years ago, the growth and development he's experienced is worth far more than I can I could possibly articulate. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, clean dojo with an excellent staff then look no further than Carlson Gracie Inland Valley.

Tim is an amazing mentor and teacher! I used to roll with him at CG Temecula as a brand-newbie, which is intimidating for anyone, and being a small woman with zero exposure to martial arts, having people like Tim made the experience amazing and makes people of all walks of life feel welcome. He’s a bada$$ jiu jitsu roller and always made me feel comfortable and taught me so much. People in the jiu jitsu world respect the Carlson Gracie name. If you have the opportunity to train here definitely don’t miss out 👊🏽
