The classes they run
“Walking into Combat Sports Academy (CSA) a year and a half ago with little to no experience, I had no idea how much it would change my life.”
“You'll learn how to strike, self defense techniques against weapons, some jiu jitsu techniques, and sparring.”
“I’ve trained both Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu under the gym, and with the support of all the coaches and the fighters have been able to compete under the CSA name for both sports!”

From the reviews
Truly a great place to develop into a great combat sports athlete. Coach Adam running the JiuJitsu is fantastic. He ensures that concepts can be understood by students on all levels and is very diligent on executing safe yet competitive training.
Walking into Combat Sports Academy (CSA) a year and a half ago with little to no experience, I had no idea how much it would change my life. Born and raised in India, training here in Dublin, CA, truly feels like living the American dream.
I’ve been coming here for nearly a year now, and honestly, it’s been an amazing experience. I genuinely enjoy every class. I primarily train in MMA—Muay Thai, boxing, and BJJ—but I’ve also recently started attending the community CrossFit classes, which have been a great addition.
I've been training at CSA for about 6 months now taking the Gi Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes with Coach Adam Piccolotti. And I can say that they are worth every penny & every minute!
New to kickboxing? Start at Combat Sports Academy
Combat Sports Academy 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 Combat Sports Academy
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.
