From the reviews
Love working out with the crew at deadgame, I have learned so much from coach Kev and have gotten into much better shape than I thought was possible.
I wish I had found Deadgame Fight school years ago! My 16 year old son loves it! He enjoys the atmosphere the coaches and the workouts! No other gym like this one! Straight forward and to the point. If you are looking to gain a new skill set or just fitness., this fight school is phenomenal! It’s the real deal!
If you want a place with shiny bags and fancy equipment that you can post on social media, this is not the place for you. If you want an authentic boxing gym, where you can strengthen your mind and your body, this is the place for you.
A TON of experience in this gym. They are the longest running boxing & MMA gym in Jacksonville. It shows with the level of coaching. Not ONLY for fighters either. They also train people to just get in shape. Coach Josh & Coach Knight know their stuff and are passionate about what they do.
New to kickboxing? Start at Deadgame Fight School
Deadgame Fight School 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 Deadgame Fight School
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.
