From the reviews
Mongoose Training Academy offers great classes for both kids and adults at all skill levels. Brand new, hobbyists, amateur and pros. All the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and awesome people. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Oftentimes the most valuable experiences in life are not planned or even expected and that is certainly the case with Mongoose Training Academy. We were made aware of the program by word of mouth and decided to check it out. From day one, our son Atlas (and our family) knew this was meant to be.
Coach Miguel is a class act! I met him from a previous gym and was so impressed- not only with his technical skills and prowess in the sport, but also his commitment to his clients and members.
Mongoose has been such a wonderful addition to our kiddos routine. It's teaching them discipline, respect and listening skills. It allows them to get their energy out in a safe space all while learning life skills on and off the mat. Everyone at the academy is friendly, caring and knowledgeable.
New to kickboxing? Start at Mongoose Training Academy
Mongoose Training 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 Mongoose Training 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.
