From the reviews
I’ve been training at this gym on and off for several years, and I can confidently say it’s an excellent place to train. The classes are well-structured and organized, and the environment is clean and professional, making it perfect for learning.
If I could give this gym 10 stars, I would! I'm a visiting blue belt from San Diego and I've had the best experience here. Liam & Melissa are SO kind & welcoming, and their instruction is top notch.
I walked into Stafford Mixed Martial Arts over 7 years ago. I was a middle aged mother of two with no martial arts experience beyond some random kickboxing classes offered at the local gym. In time my entire family has become a part of this school.
This is a great school. Started both of my kids(5 and 7) here a few months ago. Since then they have both shown improved focus and discipline at home and school. The instructors are great and patient with the kids making sure they understand how to train safely.
New to kickboxing? Start at Stafford Mixed Martial Arts
Stafford Mixed Martial Arts 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 Stafford Mixed Martial Arts
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.
