From the reviews
The name Apex Predator sounds pretty intimidating, but I have found the guys here to be caring, kind, humble, hard working and smart. No one is trying to hurt anyone else, but practicing the moves with restraint.
Rudy is an exceptional boxing trainer! His expertise and dedication to the sport are evident in every session. He has a keen eye for technique and provides personalized feedback that has significantly improved my skills. Rudy's passion for boxing is contagious, and his motivational approach keeps me pushing my limits.
I am so happy I found Apex. I was looking to learn self defense with my kids and this is the perfect place, Coach Rudy creates a relaxed, pressure free environment where the kids learn but have lots of fun.
Awesome experience, you get trained in so many different forms of MMA, it’s very hands on vs just watching lessons. The people that train there are friendly & the coach does great work & truly helps you grow in MMA. Would highly recommend this place in improving your skill set.
New to kickboxing? Start at Apex Predator MMA
Apex Predator MMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Apex Predator MMA
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
