From the reviews
*Update* New location is awesome and way better for parking. Fight Academy strikes a perfect balance between family-friendly accessibility, and high level competitive training. As a professional fighter myself, I'm always impressed with the staff and the fighters I'm training alongside.
I’ve been coming to FA for 8 months and I honestly love this place. Savant made me feel right home the first day I started taking the women boxing class. He takes his time with all the students and makes sure we understand the fundamentals. No matter if you’re new or advanced he always makes sure everyone is learning.
Awesome place to learn MMA. The instructors are patient and fun to work with. It has a local community vibe and you can tell that everyone is friendly and cares about one another.
Best place in Pasadena to work out, learn to be able to defend yourself if needed, great for kids especially. Very professional staff and instructors.
New to kickboxing? Start at Fight Academy of Pasadena
Fight Academy of Pasadena 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 Fight Academy of Pasadena
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.
