From the reviews
An enthusiastic environment with a focus on both self, and group growth. Sam, the main coach, is very knowledgeable and allows the students to work on problem solving their way through the process while implementing his preferred methods and other options alike.
Awesome people, great environment. If you want to learn real skills and live nearby this is the place to go. As a striking coach I can say they do a tremendous job of of building a high level of skills within a culture that avoids unnecessary head trauma, which if you've trained at many places you know makes them a…
I dropped in for one of the 10-11 AM classes on my way through Eau Claire. It was a small class, but I had a wonderful time. The guys were very friendly and welcoming. I got some great rolls and had a lot of fun.
In just a month at Ronin, I’ve experienced tremendous growth in my jiu jitsu skills. The instructors are fantastic, creating a supportive environment where everyone feels welcome. Community among fellow practitioners is also inspiring.
New to kickboxing? Start at Ronin Fitness
Ronin Fitness 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 Ronin Fitness
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.
