Housing both an MMA cage and a huge boxing ring, it is an amazing place for anyone who wants to start off in MMA; be it as a hobby or even as a career.

Golden Tiger Gym, nestled in the heart of Mission Row, stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of old-school boxing. Established and led by the formidable Robert Cristian, the gym has become a sanctuary for fighters who are prepared to embrace the gritty and grueling realities of traditional training. Under Cristian's watchful eye, Golden Tiger Gym harks back to a time when training was synonymous with relentless hard work, sweat, and perseverance. Fighters here endure intense workouts, pushing their limits through rigorous routines that include countless hours of sparring, heavy bag sessions, and roadwork. This old-fashioned approach is a deliberate nod to the bygone era of boxing legends, where toughness was forged through sheer determination and unwavering dedication. This blend of traditional boxing methods with Ali's innovative style has produced a unique and highly effective training program at Golden Tiger Gym.

Cristian has also formed a strategic partnership with the MMA organization SAFA (San Andreas Fighting Association). This collaboration introduces mixed martial arts elements into the training curriculum, offering fighters a more comprehensive combat skill set.
