From the reviews
I'm mainly from another gym but since the pandemic started, my gym closed and relocated. Mango sports is minutes from where I live. I decided to go there one Sunday to try their boxing class and open gym. I had a very good experience there. Doug is a great boxing coach.
Great place to train for both kids and adults! Excellent Coaching staff with decades of real world experience coaching athletes from beginner to professional fighters.
Amazing MMA Gym! Coach Doug runs a thorough classes that go from beginner friendly to intense and complex. The community here has been nothing but welcoming. The have made my journey into combat incredibly enjoyable while pushing me past my limits. 10/10 would recommend going here!!!
Doug runs a great gym. I stopped in and he ran a great boxing class and helped me with improving the small things needed to make my punches more effective.
New to kickboxing? Start at Mango Combat Sports
Mango Combat Sports 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 Mango Combat Sports
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.
