From the reviews
This is a great gym! The Instructor, Manny, is really knowledgeable and an effective teacher. Crusader offers a variety of disciplines for both the novice and seasoned practitioner (BJJ, kickboxing, wrestling, and MMA). The facility is really nice and clean. There is adequate parking.
Coach Manny is an outstanding instructor with deep knowledge of striking, grappling, and overall fight strategy. His ability to break down techniques and push students to improve is second to none.
I enjoy training BJJ and kickboxing with coach Manny. This is a great and safe environment if you are looking to surround yourself with others who want to learn self-defense, exercise, and build confidence inside and outside of the mats. Come learn some great martial arts.
This is a great place to train and sharpen your skills. Whether you are just trying to stay fit, stay active, self defense or fight professionally. This is a place where you can do it all at a reasonable price. Coach manny is an incredible instructor and very humble as well!
New to kickboxing? Start at Crusader Combat Club
Crusader Combat Club 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 Crusader Combat Club
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.
