From the reviews
My grandson has been training under Professor Wiliam Carpenter for nearly two years, and I cannot express enough how grateful we are for his guidance. They physical training is exceptional - detailed, structured, and incredibly beneficial for building strength, confidence and discipline.
I'm a complete beginner and had never done boxing before starting here, but my experience has been great so far. I'm only three sessions in and I'm already noticing real improvements in my technique and conditioning.
I’m new to this environment and type of training but I feel right at home at this gym. Jordan has been a great coach. His experience is displayed in his approach and style. He has a great combination of patience while still pushing you to get yourself to the next level
I had a hard time finding private kickboxing sessions until I found Jordan here at pure mma & boxing. Jordan is easy to communicate and schedule with and my son really enjoys the sessions.
New to kickboxing? Start at Pure Mma & Boxing
Pure Mma & Boxing 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 Pure Mma & Boxing
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.
