From the reviews
It's hard to find someone as passionate as you are in any sport, and it's safe to say that Coach Robbie is just as passionate—if not more—about combat sports as I am. When I first found the gym, I was very hesitant and wasn't sure if it would be the right fit for me. Looking back, I'm so glad I gave it a chance.
I started kickboxing here on June 1st, and I’ve honestly had a great experience so far. Everyone made me feel ant home and easy to train with, which made starting out a lot less intimidating. I’ve learned a ton in a short amount of time, from the basics of kickboxing to techniques I never thought I’d be able to do.
I’ve never felt comfortable with my striking as a grappler doing multiple boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing and boxing classes. But ever since I’ve joined TKB my fighting IQ and timing in striking has skyrocketed! If you’re looking to learn how to strike for real and get a good workout in then look no further!
Coach Rob is amazing. He pushes you to ensure a great workout, and also focuses on your skill as an individual to help you progress. I have seen exponential growth in my striking ability since working with Rob. I highly recommend TBKB to anyone looking to get started or get better.
New to kickboxing? Start at Tampa Bay Kickboxing
Tampa Bay Kickboxing 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 Tampa Bay Kickboxing
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.
