From the reviews
Competent, friendly gym with a focus on safety and technique. Al is great at finding the right balance between pushing us to improve our skills and fitness without sacrificing safety. The others training there reflect this training philosophy and style as well. Great morning class.
Took an early morning class led by owner and instructor, Alvin, and it was stupendous. We were drilled on falling, and some beginner Jui Jitsu techniques. We applied the techniques on eachother amongst the the other classmates. You can uses an attackers shirt collar against them if attacked on the street.
Many time slots available so you can take classes, lots of parking around Mission Blvd. Al, the owner and instructor, made it an easy transition for me from the couch to the gym.
Place is like a second home very welcoming and safe environment with great down-to-earth people and amazing instructors. Been training here for a while highly recommend.
New to kickboxing? Start at EDGE Training Center
EDGE Training Center 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 EDGE Training Center
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.
