From the reviews
Combat Fitness Martial Arts teaches authentic Muay Thai! I recently returned from Thailand with my 19 year-old son. Invited by Sifu Joe, we trained Muay Thai in Thailand for 2 weeks as part of the World Thai Boxing Association's (WTBA) Thailand Training Tour 2025.
My name is Eric, I have trained at CFMA for a good while now (I think 3 years at least). It has been one of the best experiences for me, and became a sort of home as well. Sifu Joe Cargado is very experienced, and a great teacher.
My son takes the children's kickboxing at this school. The instructors are very knowledgeable and patient with the children. It is a great mix of fun fitness and learning in a positive environment. They also offer many other types of martial arts for adults which makes this school appealing to all types of people.
My 23-year-old daughter and I just finished a 3-day Women's Self Defense training course at Combat Fitness Martial Arts in Doylestown, taught by Coach Barbara. Understanding how to use your body and mind to escape a dangerous situation is crucial in today's world.
New to kickboxing? Start at Combat Fitness Martial Arts
Combat Fitness Martial Arts 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 Combat Fitness 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.
