From the reviews

Hands down the best gym in town. I’ve been attending CMMA for just about 3 weeks almost a month and I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The respect and undivided attention each coach shows on and off the mat is so important to me and I really admire that.

★★★★★ — Alyse, Jun 2025

Great gymn. The staff is amazing, the coaches (Chad, Jorge, Julio, Charlie, Cody, and so many others) are very supportive. The team is trained by real life champions with real life experience. Not only do you learn a lot, but it also gives you a great sense of community. Awesome for adults as well as children.

★★★★★ — Gilberto, May 2024

This gym is amazing, from the coaching staff to the commodity of all the students. I believe it all trickles down from the owner and head coach Chad George. Everyone from high level pro MMA fighters to first day jiu jitsu students all love the atmosphere at this gym.

New to kickboxing? Start at California Mixed Martial Arts

California Mixed Martial Arts 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 California Mixed Martial Arts

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
