From the reviews
The BJJ coach Joe is a blackbelt and all around amazing person. He puts in time on and off the mats, welcomes new students. He gets to know everyone and you just get sense that he really cares. The quality of the Muay Thai instruction is high, focus is on techniques and combos. Good for either fitness or fight prep.
I've been going here for years and can say this is an amazing gym. The training is excellent (shoutout to Rob), you get a tough but captivating workout that engages your entire body, all while learning useful self defense and fighting techniques. The gym membership is also very fairly priced.
I went in today for some shin guards . I called in, and one of the coaches answered and informed that they carry fairtex guards and gloves down to the model type and price . Very good price and awesome service .
The BEST gym in the heart of Oakland! Really spacious and clean. Love it because it has boxing and muay thai. You get what you pay for and it's totally worth it. Parking can be a little hectic.. .overall great teachers and classes! you are locked in for the 6 or 12 months they offer you. or you can do month to month..
New to kickboxing? Start at Pacific Ring Sports
Pacific Ring 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 Pacific Ring 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.
