First of all I'll like to say how proud I am of all the kids that participated in last Sunday MMA event. Must of all I like to recognize the great job that coach Jorge has done to get them ready through hard training. They accomplished to take home three 2nd place Medal, one 3rd Place and one first place in Grablin.

★★★★★ — Tony, Nov 2022

One of the best fighting gyms in Miami the instructor is very Informative. I took some classes here last year for the first time and don’t regret it at all, the training is personalized and one on one better than those gyms that just have boxing classes with a group of 20 people with bad form because the instructor…

★★★★★ — Khorynas, Apr 2021

Tuve el horno de conocer al instructor Jorge Sotolongo Tejón, desde que comenzamos justos desde niños, karate Do Jyoshinmon en cuba, por su técnica fue seleccionado para el equipo nacional, logrando con sacrificio y esfuerzos diferentes medallas y trofeos, en diferentes modalidades como en kata y combate, con los años…

New to kickboxing? Start at PALADIN MMA ACADEMY,INC

PALADIN MMA ACADEMY,INC 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 PALADIN MMA ACADEMY,INC

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
