From the reviews

My son absolutely loves it here! He looks forward to it every week. He was very much a beginner but the coaches didn't let that stop him one bit. It's a great group of kids as well. They are all very respectful and show great sportsmanship. I can tell the coaches really put their heart into the process!!

Coming in as a total beginner to combat sports the jiu jitsu class has been a ton of fun. Everyone there is super friendly and the coaches are very knowledgeable. I look forward to every class

★★★★★ — Matthew, Jan 2025

I really can't say enough great things about Primed Combat. My son has been taking jujitsu since November and just added kickboxing. The coaches are enthusiastic and supportive. The owner is just the nicest person and works really hard to foster a great community atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Amber, Jul 2024

Had a great time at Primed Combat. Gray was a very motivating, patient and uplifting instructor. I went in for the free trial class and with no experience I was really happy with how the session went. Can’t wait to get back in and get after it consistently.

New to kickboxing? Start at Primed Combat

Primed Combat 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 Primed Combat

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.
