From the reviews
They got everything. They got an old John Malkovich type, they got a 21 year old Opie purple belt on growth hormones, a Mexican who used to train in orange county, (we got an Italian guy like that) that kid who's momma took Tylenol. Un cuban con bigote.
Love coming here!! This place has helped me grow in something new that I am good at. Both students and coaches are very helpful we work as a team And help each other learn new things. They offer classes for adults And children. This place has changed My perspective on jujitsu as a beginner.
Awesome place! My kids (7 and 4) and I have all been attending Louisville Combat Academy for the last 4 months and love it. We primarily do Jiujitsu but I have also attended the Muay Thai class and it was great as well.
I dropped in for a couple of classes while traveling. Tough people dedicated to refining their skill set. That being said, I could not have felt more welcome. The classes were relatively large and diverse, so whether you're attending your first class ever or you're a black belt, you'll find great training partners.
New to kickboxing? Start at Louisville Combat Academy
Louisville Combat 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 Louisville Combat 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.
