From the reviews
Have been long time members of the gym but decided to give BJJ a chance one day and have absolutely loved FBS Combat Club as well! A great safe environment for everyone! Whether you’re training to compete, learn self defense, or just here for exercise - the free trial week is awesome to check it out.
FBS is a great environment and you feel like family the very first day you walk in. Highly recommend for any beginners or experienced athletes looking to sharpen their craft!
I checked out FBS Combat Club while I was visiting from out of town. I reached out to the owner, Chloe, about dropping in to a class to get some a few rounds in. Chloe was super welcoming and even let me know me borrow a spare kimono as I forgot to pack mine in my luggage. That A3 gi came in clutch!
FBS Combat is hands-down one of the best places to train. The coaches are highly skilled, supportive, and great at working with every skill level. The atmosphere is friendly and motivating, making it ideal for both beginners and serious fighters.
New to kickboxing? Start at FBS Combat Club
FBS 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 FBS 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. 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.
