From the reviews
My son trains Muay Thai at Kings MMA Anaheim and we’ve had an amazing experience. The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about the kids not just teaching technique, but also discipline, confidence, and respect.
Great place to train whether you’re a beginner or looking for an advanced classes, Kings MMA has it all. Amenities such a weight room, recovery center, showers and two large mat spaces
We have been at Kings MMA Anaheim for just about two years and could not be happier with the decision to train there. After spending 6 years at a large Jiu Jitsu corporation, we decided to give Kings a try, and I am so glad we did! The new facility is clean, open, parent friendly and full of bright natural light.
I've been at this gym since 2018. It's literally the best gym in terms of coaching, culture, and value. The coaching is amazing, we have some of the very best coaches. Coach Nolan is an amazing striking coach and he will elevate your striking to the highest levels. The jiu jitsu programs are awesome.
New to kickboxing? Start at Kings MMA Anaheim - Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai & MMA - Beneil Dariush
Kings MMA Anaheim - Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai & MMA - Beneil Dariush 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 Kings MMA Anaheim - Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai & MMA - Beneil Dariush
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.
