From the reviews
I love Maesh Striking Arts as a whole from the instructors to the students it's a all around positive growing and healthy environment for anyone serious about getting into shape or martial arts from Muay Thai, BJJ, boxing and or conditioning they have it here.
Yoko, Ivan, and all of the staff as well as the students are genuinely great people with whom I share many fond memories with. You won't regret taking any of their classes. As ALL of the people who train at Maesh are world renowned athletes. #champions
Great gym that teaches Muay Thai with some of the best instructors in the bay area.
My kiddos love Coach Alex! When my son was 3 1/2 we did the trial and since then we knew we would love the environment. My son ended up doing baseball but we tried again but this time with his younger sister and now they both really enjoy the Muay Thai class.
New to kickboxing? Start at MAESH Striking Arts
MAESH Striking Arts 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 MAESH Striking Arts
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.
