From the reviews
If you want to learn striking martial arts, self defense and some good fighting philosophy- this is the best gym I have found in Colorado Springs, and I have trained at several! There are dozens of diverse, and consistent students.
I've been a member of BFS or many, many years. Coach Ali is so knowledgeable and offers a program that is tailored for anyone and everyone's skill level. For those who have any questions about degree of knowledge and expertise , coach invites you to some and experience the first class for free and you yourself can get…
Great Gym! I have been attending Coach Ali's boxing classes for 7 months and my it has gone quick. This gym is the real McCoy, you will learn the techniques and form of boxing through pragmatic & purposeful drilling as well as conditioning exercises to increase your stamina.
I've been going here for almost five months now. It has been a great experience. The experienced fighters are always willing to help the new folks, and they never take any cheap shots on the less experienced fighters. Safe gym. Coach Ali is a great coach.
New to kickboxing? Start at BFS Boxing
BFS Boxing 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 BFS Boxing
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.
