From the reviews

I have been training here for over 4 years and I can honestly say this school is unique. It allows more sparring time than other schools. Moreover, the instructors are world class. The best part is that my fellow teammates support each other by sharing techniques with each other.

★★★★★ — Ricardo, Sep 2017

Great place very friendly people. Coach Mando is one of the most humble and welcoming people I have ever met. I strongly recommend this place for anyone who's looking to get into mixed Martial arts or just the physical exercise part of it. 👍👍

★★★★★ — Let’S, May 2020

I spent a few months in the area fall of 2019 and returned for a visit this week. From the moment I walked in I was accepted as one of their own. Every time I visit there has been top notch jiu-jitsu instruction in a family-friendly gym. The gym’s cleanliness is unmatched.

★★★★★ — Luke, Jul 2020

I was introduced to jiu jitsu at BloodBank MMA when I enrolled in a women's self defense class. During my time there, I also attended muay thai and strength and conditioning classes. All of the coaches at this gym are super friendly, they encourage and motivate you to challenge yourself.

New to kickboxing? Start at Hacienda MMA Training Center

Hacienda MMA Training Center 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 Hacienda MMA Training Center

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.
