From the reviews

I can't speak highly enough about this gym. I began attending the Coalition over a year ago, shortly after I moved to the area. I was very apprehensive to join the kickboxing class because it's a male dominated sport, I had no kickboxing experience (or really any sports experience to speak of), and I didn't know…

★★★★★ — Sarah, Dec 2024

I can’t say enough great things about Coalition. Keo has built such a great not just gym, but community here. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or expert… whether you are a jiu jitsu practitioner, or want to focus on stand up striking, or even try you hand at MMA, you will find a coaching style or class or…

★★★★★ — Alex, Sep 2024

As a woman walking into a combat gym it can feel a little daunting. However, this is a totally different experience. I would highly encourage any woman that has had an interest in combat sports or self-defense to give this gem a look. It is not the typical gym that seems to be uninviting to women.

★★★★★ — Vanessa, Mar 2026

I joined Coalition about a month ago, and I am so glad I did! I was really nervous at first—super interested in kickboxing but definitely a complete beginner, and honestly a little intimidated to join a combat sport “gym.” From day one, every single coach and member has been incredibly welcoming.

New to kickboxing? Start at Coalition Combat Sports - MMA - Jiu Jitsu - Kickboxing

Coalition Combat Sports - MMA - Jiu Jitsu - Kickboxing 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 Coalition Combat Sports - MMA - Jiu Jitsu - 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. 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.
