From the reviews
Im only going to speak on the kickboxing classes. I havent tried their sparring or grappling classes but This isnt your normal cardio class where you hit the bag a few times and go home.
Team Oyama style! Oh yeah!! Thank you team Oyama for such a great event. Ron and Marie hosted our Thai kickboxing class along with a group of fighters. Station one was my favorite except for the fact that I had a bruised shin from kicking the bag. Kicking with a shin and knee is much different from I was use to.

Well-rounded gym with talented coaches and awesome facility! When I first joined the gym, Brock Dias was working, and he was very welcoming and gave me a rundown of the gym policy. He's also a collegiate wrestler that teaches a really great, beginner-friendly wrestling class.
New to kickboxing? Start at Team Oyama MMA & Fitness
Team Oyama MMA & Fitness 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 Team Oyama MMA & 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.
