From the reviews

I came to Ring Demon because I wanted to learn martial arts for self-defense and build confidence. What I got from Ring Demon was more than I could imagine. Other schools will tell you what to think and which moves to do. However, Coach Eric's approach to martial arts is different—it is philosophical.

★★★★★ — Tony, Nov 2023

Ring Demon is a great place to train at. Coach Eric is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If you are looking for a place to train this is the place. Thank you for allowing me to train with y’all. I’ve trained at multiple spots and this is in my top 3 favorites!

★★★★★ — Eddy, Dec 2023

I have been around martial arts for as long as I can remember. I am also heavily involved in the instructional aspect of martial arts as well. I write here to acknowledge Eric Dahlberg for his outstanding contributions as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu / Wrestling / and Boxing instructor.

★★★★★ — Javier, Jan 2024

Ring Demon is an excellent gym for training, welcoming everyone from beginners to pros. The gym is inclusive and supportive. Coach Eric emphasizes technique, and his approach to mixed martial arts clearly demonstrates his expertise.

New to kickboxing? Start at Ring Demon MMA

Ring Demon MMA 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 Ring Demon MMA

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.
