From the reviews
I have been training under Adam and Daniel for a while now, and they are great teachers. I have a background in professional sports, and the training they offer meets all the criteria to be deemed professional. Both men have been successful competitors and are great instructors of both adults and children.
My son has tried several martial arts studios and practices and this one is the winner! The instructors give so much personal attention and he feels so encouraged and supported. It's a more relaxed environment that other martial arts we've done, but also MUCH more hands on and interactive than any others.
Great environment, stellar training and attention to detail. No matter what level you are, you will fit in here. I am new to jiu jitsu and everyone here is so welcoming and helpful. It's a great community of people helping people and the instructors are very professional and caring.
Have trained here for 2 years and it's the best gym I've ever been to. Coaches are great and friendly, If you're new to bjj or kickboxing they will take the time to show you the ropes. The coaching is unparalleled each, coach has a different style so you will get a very well rounded game.
New to kickboxing? Start at Lamorinda Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing
Lamorinda Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing 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 Lamorinda Jiu Jitsu & Kickboxing
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.
