From the reviews
Coach Larry Heredia is beyond an outstanding Trainer in Martial Arts, Speed and Agility, Sports Kumite, Muay Thai, Fitness and Kickboxing. He is highly motivated to help his students reach even beyond their competition or personal goals.
The students here are hard workers. Through their grinding attitude along with respect and humility they are able to achieve great things not only in the competition and fighting aspect but great things through their own individual lives. Oss!
Great place for my teen girls. A well rounded experience of kick boxing, karate and discipline. The owners/instructors are very family oriented and caring. The students here are best friends. I wish we'd found this place much sooner!
through hardwork, dedication and some sweat the people here build strong bonds with one another, and all together they become family. I love this place
New to kickboxing? Start at Budo-Kan Fighting Arts of Fresno
Budo-Kan Fighting Arts of Fresno 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 Budo-Kan Fighting Arts of Fresno
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.
