From the reviews
If you're intimidated by the prospect of having to actually touch other people (let alone hit/kick them/get hit/kicked by them) I understand. I understand the idea of being freaked out by the intensity of this place, or even just the prospect of entering a "dungeon" filled with ripped, sweaty, shirtless people making…
I have been training with Coach Joseph since 2007. What separates Coach Joseph from other instructors is his close attention to each student, his beautiful demonstration of each technique and his willingness to work with your conditions, i.e., previous experience, age and athletic abilities.
This gym is my home, Coach Joe is family to me as well as the team who invest their time and energy here, i recommend you all to come in take class. Im confident youll love it and learn something not just about striking but about yourself, his class is deeply therapeutic for me and im sincerely grateful that strikers…
I will say that Kru Joe and Strikers Inc. is not for everyone (lazy and unwilling to learn people need not apply); but if you have the right mindset and are looking for truly a great workout and some great people to learn and grow with then this is the right place to be!!
New to kickboxing? Start at Strikers Inc.
Strikers Inc. 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 Strikers Inc.
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.
