From the reviews
Bill Easlick is one of the best coaches that I have ever trained with. He has an excellent knowledge of the fight game and can clearly communicate its many interacting parts to any student.
I’ve been training MMA as a hobby for a few years now. Coach Bill is one of the best in the business. I can’t say enough good things about his coaching and about him in general.
We brought our 15 year old daughter to Bill so she could learn self defense. We are at the point in our parenting lives where letting go is necessary but not comfortable. Bill has dedicated the better part of his entire life to different fighting techniques!
Coach Bill was instrumental in my BJJ journey. Bringing me up from a white belt to blue, his style of teaching complimented the gym ethos. Made me feel very comfortable asking any and all manner of questions. Always ready with a story that uncannily pertains to that days topic or lesson.
New to kickboxing? Start at Blast MMA
Blast 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 Blast 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.
