From the reviews
I’ve been training here for 5 months and choosing to start was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They welcomed me in with open arms, I’m a beginner with no experience but that didn’t matter. The people make this place what it is, they treat you and everyone like family.
Awesome area to train, knowledgable instructors, conducive environment to learn; and build friendships and team support that carry over to tournaments, just overall worthwhile place to practice and improve your grappling.
I am someone that normally don't do any physical activities due to lot of hesitation and just body pains overall. But ever since joining this gym, (I am now on my 6th month) I think I have gotten stronger and more confident! I mainly do Jiujitsu, does Judo once a week if I can and occasionally do Kickboxing on Sundays.

New to kickboxing? Start at Gambit Submission Fighting
Gambit Submission Fighting 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 Gambit Submission Fighting
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.
