From the reviews
Phenomenal Boxing Conditioning Class at Vive Fitness! Daruma Combat Sports’ boxing conditioning class at Vive Fitness (in the Hollywood District of NE Portland) is absolutely phenomenal!
Best kickboxing in Portland! The coaches are very friendly, welcoming, and talented. I’ve been doing kickboxing for 15 years and have been to a ton of programs and coaches, this is by far the best. You’ll get a great workout and you’ll learn the right skills.
Great place to train whether you're looking to pick up a new skill or already an experienced athlete. My personal training experience has been amazing and the coaches will tailor lessons to your fighting style and schedule.
Great environment , very professional. Coach’s are amazing! Awesome workouts/training for all levels of training.
New to kickboxing? Start at Daruma Combat Sports
Daruma Combat Sports 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 Daruma Combat Sports
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.
