Muay thai in or near Los Angeles

Looking for muay thai in or near Los Angeles. I was wondering what are the best muay thai schools in your opinion and why.

Also, I found a few below thru google.

Does anyone no anything about these schools?

Dan Inosanto in Marina del Rey, does anyone know who teaches the muay thai there?

Sityodtong in Pasadena

O.C. Muay Thai in Santa Ana

Muay Thai Academy of America in North Hollywood

sidyodtong is great.

my coworker has started off there, and it's pretty intense. plus the school isnt a franchise, so if it carries the name, it's pretty legit.

Inosanto:
The instructors at the inosanto academy vary depending on the day of the week. You will do a lot of pad work and little to no sparring.

Sityodtong:
Owned and operated by kru "sleeper." I think this is the only Sityodtong in the USA besides Mark Dellegrotte in Boston. The Gym has a competition team and up until recently holds Smokers (amatuer fights) on a regular basis. Their guys usually have solid skills and I have heard nothing but good things about "sleepers" teaching methods/style.

OC muay Thai: No idea

Muay Thai academy of North Hollywood:
The school has a lot of history and good Thailand trainers however I have heard that the training can sometimes be really rough if you are new to the sport.

Matt505: the myspace page you listed is a gym that is now ran by Rigan Machado. Chute Boxe is no longer affiliated with that gym.

the old chuteboxe location is still doing Muay Thai and they let you take the first class for free.
Won"t hurt to give it a try to see if you like it.
