Absolutely enjoy training BBJ here & would recommend for any level. As an old white belt and have trained at many gyms so I have seen a little of everything I think. At NCMMA the staff has always been very welcoming and since I started going there have been a lot of updates, it’s been amazing to see.
Awesome boxing gym, has both fitness focus bigger group and fighter focus smaller group classes. I really enjoy Tuesday and Thursday evening classes with Coach Anthony, he’s a great coach with many years of experience and patience with new boxers.
PTs with Coach Derek always kick my ass... super stoked to start training in the group classes as well. Everyone's humble and hard working, and the monthly gym fee is super affordable too 💯
New to kickboxing? Start at North County MMA & Ultimate Fitness
North County MMA & Ultimate Fitness 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 North County MMA & Ultimate Fitness
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.
