“Unsure of whether bjj was something I actually wanted to do, I decided to take my first class just to see what it would be like, not certain if I would continue with it.”
“While I trained a lot of Karate as a kid, I give Danny a tremendous amount of gratitude and credit for teaching me how to fight for real.”
“Bottom Line Up Front: Train here if you want to get fit, make friends, gain self-defense skills, and feel confident knowing you can take care of yourself and your family.”

From the reviews
2 years in and still going strong. Southern California Combat Club is amazing and going to classes are some the of the beat times of the week. Coach Danny's got your back. He knows what you need to get better and pushes you in the right direction.
Beginning something new, regardless of what it is can be intimidating. Factor in that that "something new" is a very intense, physically demanding, male dominated, contact sport...entering as a woman felt like it's own challenge. That is, before I had actually joined.
I’ve been training here for around 5 years now and I’m really glad I found this place. I tried many other gyms before I found this one but they either showed you a couple of moves and left you alone or was just cardio. If you really want to learn a combat sport you should come here.
Danny Suarez and Southern California Combat Club is the gym you need to join if you are 1. Looking for top of the line training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA, and Submission Grappling. 2.
New to kickboxing? Start at SoCal Combat Club
SoCal Combat Club 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 SoCal Combat Club
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.
