From the reviews
Eugene is a fantastic instructor and has real time professional fighting experience to draw from when coaching. His classes are always fun and super informative, he takes time to ensure proper technique is taught but is also very approachable and patient and encouraging with beginners (something especially appreciated…
Euguene is the real Deal ! I had no idea that we would be doing holds and striking and take downs and sweating as much as i did the first session! He is awesome if you want a real workout and he will work at your pace and level. But, he will also push you to your potential and when i was finished, i was soaked.
Eugene - is an exceptional trainer whose depth in MMA and self protection are vital for today unpredictable environment. He’s walked me through the fundamentals of self defense while also teaching me how to avoid a confrontation.
Common sense driven bjj training in person and all levels welcome approach. I've been taking a co ed class by Correa MMA at the boxing gym near my house, as a new student without prior training, Eugene's experience is obvious in each class I've taken over the last few months.
New to kickboxing? Start at Correa mma
Correa mma 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 Correa mma
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.
