From the reviews
An amazing place to train; It has a diverse plethora of disciplines to learn, friendly and engaged instructors, and supportive environment at whatever starting point in boxing the trainers are really good they take there time to explain what they have to do I recommend this place
GM Parker's skill and technique are second to none. He's also highly knowledgeable in the history of every art he teaches, having studied under esteemed martial artists like Richard Bustillo and Rigan Machado.
I’ve been going for a week for the Muay Thai classes & i’m already enjoying my experience. The trainers are really patient & passionate about explaining the basics. There’s a great group dynamic where it’s inviting & friendly. 5 stars because 6 isn’t an option ⭐️
We LOVE MFC Academy!! My daughter participates in their kids MMA/jiu jitsu class and she has so much fun, gets her energy out, and most importantly learns how to defend herself. Highly recommend bringing your kids here!
New to kickboxing? Start at Modern Fighting Concepts
Modern Fighting Concepts 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 Modern Fighting Concepts
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.
