From the reviews
The instructors here, have the perfect balance of patience and firmness while teaching the kids class! My 8 year old son Mac is always excited to attend class. In addition to it being a fun place for him to release energy with his friends, more importantly, the classes teach him discipline, respect and enhance his…
We’ve known Coach Ben and his family for over four years. Our kids have trained side by side, and spent a lot of time together. I know and trust their family with my children, both in and out of the gym.
GREAT PLACE FOR KIDS!!! My son loves the kid classes. The coaches are all knowledgeable and most importantly nice! Haha. Great place for kids to learn how to protect themselves against bullies. Also my wife is addicted to the cardio kickboxing classes. Great for the whole family.
The Den is by far the best MMA gym in SoCal. Ive been training with coach Ben and his instructors for a little over a year now and my skill level and knowledge in mma has increased by a long shot. I look foward to continuing my journey as a Mixed Martial Artist at this gym.
New to kickboxing? Start at The Den Training Center
The Den Training Center 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 The Den Training Center
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.
