Had a chance to drop in for a class while I was working in town and I had a great time. The instructors are very knowledgeable and detailed and have a great gym full of awesome people. The training here is top notch and I can’t wait to come back!

★★★★★ — Justin, Jan 2024

This place is alright, the jui jitsu class looks really good. The muay thai class was okay. Not what I was looking for, i need more physical contact and competitive atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Brandon, Jan 2019

What a great group! Being a female is difficult at times, to find a place where I fit in, and let me tell you I was immediately one of the family. Thank you Dennis for sharing your school with me. I appreciate the awesome techniques and great rolls while preparing for world's! I hope to you see you all again soon! OSS

New to kickboxing? Start at Hybrid -- Jiu-Jitsu * judo * Muay Thai

Hybrid -- Jiu-Jitsu * judo * Muay Thai 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 Hybrid -- Jiu-Jitsu * judo * Muay Thai

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.
