From the reviews
Great martial arts school, wether you’re a beginner or have been training for years. Coach Ivan is a professional mma fighter and knows the game better than anyone else. I had already been training for 4 years and still every time I come I learn something new. 10/10 recommend 😁
Bams legit. With well over 40 professional fights he's a master at his craft and offers his wisdom in the sport in a simple and absorbable way for any level of fighter. Highly recommend trying the free class and getting a membership.
My family and I love Bam Kickboxing! Tanya and Ivan are awesome coaches and I lost 18 pounds my first year with their program! My three kids recently started attending Bam Kickboxing and they love it as well!
I can’t say enough good things about this gym. The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and really know how to push you while keeping things safe and fun. Whether you’re brand new to Muay Thai/kickboxing or you’ve been training for years, they meet you at your level and help you improve fast.
New to kickboxing? Start at BAM Kickboxing
BAM Kickboxing 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 BAM Kickboxing
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.
