“Coming from a Karate background, I find that the BJJ and Muay Thai compliment what I’ve previously learned with Shotokan.”

I love this gym!! This is a true martial arts family. Coming from a Karate background, I find that the BJJ and Muay Thai compliment what I’ve previously learned with Shotokan. Coach Kenry Mire is very knowledgeable and patient with students of all backgrounds and no even no background!
Great gym!! We have been at Gladiators for a month or so and my daughter LOVES every second of it. She looks forward to going to every class. Fantastic coaches that help in all aspects. Friendly and competitive. Definitely the place to be!!!
My son started at Gladiators Academy of Crowley almost 3 years ago and it’s been the best decision we’ve made! He’s learned so very much from the amazing coaches and has gained so many new friends!! He looks forward to training every single chance he gets!! No looking back!!
The coaches are truly professional and really care for their students. Highly recommend!!
New to kickboxing? Start at Gladiators Academy of Crowley
Gladiators Academy of Crowley 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 Gladiators Academy of Crowley
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.
