Hikari Martial Arts Gym I TTDI Branch

Have been training Brazilian Ju-jitsu at Hikari Glo Damansara and Ampang for almost a year now. Its been an amazing experience and everyone's very supportive. Big shout out to Prof Bruno, Coach Cassandra, Prof JC and Coach Ezekiel for being a big part of my starting journey. And more so, for enabling such a great supportive culture that I experience from everyone at Hikari. Everyone's very helpful, extremely humble and always willing to help.

As someone with 0 background in any form of martial arts, I made a decision in the middle of 2023 to take the plunge into the world of BJJ. It’s now 6 months into my journey but I’ve not looked back since. Professor Bruno and Coach Cass are inspirational coaches that brings you to push yourself to your limits and more. Not to mention that everyone who trains here are also great to be around. There’s a good mix of higher belts and beginners but I’ve never been made to feel out of place or unwelcome. In short, I definitely recommend Hikari to anyone who wants to try out Martial Arts. In addition to BJJ, they also have Muay Thai and Boxing classes.

Cant wait to experience the new branch! Hikari is place that shapes your character, attitude & values not just as an athlete but as a human being! Coaches are just filled with Passion, patience & love that coaches you in such a Fatherly way ! ❤️ Best gym in Malaysia period!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently visited the Hikari in GLO Damansara KL and couldn’t be happier! The affordable parking is a plus(1rm for 2 hours), making it easy to attend classes regularly. The mats are top-notch—clean, soft, no burn, well-maintained, and perfect for training. Bruno Barbosa, the head of the gym, brings an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience to the team. His teaching style is both engaging and effective, making each class a valuable learning experience. The welcoming atmosphere and supportive community he fosters make this gym a fantastic place for both beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Highly recommend Hikari BJJ for anyone looking to train in Kuala Lumpur!

I've been training with prof Bruno and coach Cass close to 6 years, I would say training with both of them has been a great experience. Looking forward to learning more BJJ from both of them.

This place is hot as #&@* but the jiujitsu is legit. Each class feels like a mini seminar. The technique of the day is typically explained over 30 minutes or so and the instructors keep a close eye to ensure you're performing it correctly. There's a good mix of belts here, all sizes and genders. Ranging from casual hobbyists to absolute freaks. This place (thankfully) lacks the old school, chest-thumping, sigma-grindset atmosphere that some academies inherit from the "good ol' days" in Brasil. Everyone is very welcoming and hoping to see you get better. If you roll with respect and consideration, you'll receive it back. Coaches Cassandra and Journ, along with your teammates, will also push you outside your comfort zone if you express an interest in competing. Was able bag my first gold medal in my time at Hikari. I'm not sure if I would have been able to otherwise. The coaches themselves are also high-level competitors, so they walk the talk. The facilities are simple but well maintained. There are two separate rooms for Muay Thai and Grappling, as well as two shower rooms. If you don't mind padding your step count a little, there's ample parking along Jalan Telawi/Terasek. If you're boujee, Bangsar Village 2 has parking that typically costs RM6 a pop.

As a person who enjoys and believes that practicing martial arts is a way of life, Hikari MMA is the place to be. Having trained in few other gyms, this place has been the one that resonates with my values of showing respect, camaraderie, and courage. It’s been almost 3 years that I’ve been training here both in Muay Thai and BJJ. The coaches here are out of this world. From having to learn so much from Coach Cass and Coach Bruno when I’m training in BJJ. They are patient, friendly and supportive to everyone’s journey! Also to have one of my fight record under Coach Kai and more to come. He is so technical and understanding of the sport where he sees what we should work on best in terms of fight style and how we can use our strength to our advantages. He doesn’t accounts for your failures but leads a great team of fighters to where he pushes everyone for greatness. If you’re ever looking for a place to train, Hikari MMA is one of them. Conducive environment and facilities that will attend to your needs. The admin team is also great and friendly! Cheers to Audrey for being a great Muay Thai sparring partner and also attending to my enquiries regarding the fees etc.
