From the reviews
As a mom, I can’t say enough good things about Arizona Combat Sports, AZ Combat Kids and the kids’ jiujitsu program. My son has been coming here for a while now, and the experience has been amazing for him. The coaches treat my son with so much respect and kindness.
I wanted to take a moment to share our family’s experience with Arizona Combat Sports. My wife and I, along with our three kids, two girls and one boy, started training here in August 2025. From day one, the environment has been incredible.
I've trained at the gym for about three months now. In my limited experience with Arizona Combat Sports, I can say their experience and passion for training speaks for itself. Take the time to stop by and you'll understand what I mean.
I think this is the best MMA gym in the city in my opinion. Could be the best in the state. I love how the classes are set up to challenge you and improve Everytime you go in. Perfect for beginners and amazing for pros.
New to kickboxing? Start at Arizona Combat Sports
Arizona Combat Sports comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Arizona Combat Sports
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.
