From the reviews
Amazing place awesome owner! Coach Najeeb has done an amazing job with my son teaching him the skills he needs for kickboxing and Muay Thai and also having a great workout program integrated into it!!! This place is a must for anyone interested in martial arts or just getting a great workout!!
BEST kickboxing spot in Jacksonville, hands down. Najeeb brings a ton of experience and has so many tricks up his sleeve. Whether you’re trying to get fit or actually learn how to defend yourself, this is the place to be.
Love this place. Great cardio and our coach constantly gets us to push ourselves. Technique is extremely important as well. Been a member over a year with no plans to stop
If you’ve been thinking about trying kickboxing or Muay Thai, I can’t recommend Jax Kickboxing Academy enough. From the moment you walk in, you notice how clean and well-kept the gym is—it’s honestly the cleanest gym I’ve ever been in, which makes a huge difference in how comfortable you feel training there.
New to kickboxing? Start at Jax Kickboxing Academy
Jax Kickboxing Academy 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 Jax Kickboxing Academy
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.
