From the reviews

This place is much more than just a regular MMA gym, coaches treat you as if you are family and you can tell how they actually care about their students. I’ve trained at a few different gyms and never felt that type of “home” feeling anywhere else. Rock MMA is the place to be/train.

★★★★★ — Michael, Oct 2019

Great, family gym with positive environment 100% of the time. From day 1 they made me feel like part of the family and the training is great. I do boxing and the fitness/bootcamp classes and I've never been in better shape (: Love the coaches and if I could I'd give 6/5 stars! Highly suggest you sign up!!!!!

★★★★★ — Pamela, Oct 2014

I have been training with Coach Carl for around 6-7 months now, and I have had an amazing experience. Coach Carl is very very Very skilled in MMA and is an AMAZING teacher.

★★★★★ — Zain, Jan 2023

I’ve been to many gyms in Miami and this gym has become like home. As a woman it can be intimidating to train with guys but here there’s non of that. This gym has a amazing environment for development and getting a good sweat. Everyone pushes you to get better and the coaches are incredible.

New to kickboxing? Start at Rock MMA

Rock 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 Rock 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.
