The owners, Cesar and Denise, have created a very welcoming atmosphere and environment here at Jackals MMA. I found them through Google as I was in town visiting family and I leave with such a excellent experience to look back on.

★★★★★ — Cezahh_, Jul 2024

I just moved to Valley from San Diego, I was super worried about not having a place to train kickboxing or boxing (adults) until I came here to HOJ. All I can tell you is that they know what they’re doing. They just added an all women kickboxing class, my lady is super stoked about that.

Your first kickboxing class at The House of Jackals 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
