From the reviews

This month marks our 1-year anniversary since our family (adult and kids ages 6 and 3) started training with Coach Ahmad and Destry. Three feelings stick out for me: 1. EKG is a family. The students, both adults and kids alike, are a tight knit community.

★★★★★ — Eric, Jan 2025

I've been bringing my 5-year-old daughter to this Muay Thai gym for six months, and she absolutely loves it! The gym strikes a perfect balance between physical training, discipline, and learning the fundamentals, all while making it fun.

★★★★★ — Andrew, Jun 2024

So proud of this gym family. The coaches are amazing they truly care about their members and meet them at their level to bring out the very best in them and then some. They ensure you have a strong grasp on your Muay Thai skills so when you hit the ring you come out a champion.

★★★★★ — Ann, Nov 2024

A wonderful community for all Kickboxing enthusiasts. Whether you are a beginner, amateur or a pro, EKG and the family they have created is phenomenal. If you are local or passing through, hit up EKG. Ahmad and his crew will take care of you!

New to kickboxing? Start at Elite Kickboxing Gym LLC

Elite Kickboxing Gym LLC 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 Elite Kickboxing Gym LLC

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
