From the reviews

Some of the best stand up striking you can learn in the state! Coach Ian and Colton Jones are skilled technicians who provide the type of expert guidance that can only be obtained from years of experience and time in the ring.

★★★★★ — Greg, Aug 2024

Great place to train and learn and learn authentic Muay Thai. The instructor Ian is a Muay Thai encyclopedia. The instructor Colton is a bad ass who is still actively fighting. Everyone is nice and welcoming to new comers. Over all great place 10/10!!

★★★★★ — Hank, Nov 2025

My experience so far has been top Notch. Ian and Colton are very attentive and welcoming to new folks. I have always been interested in Muay Thai and Boxing but a little hesitant as someone in their 50's. My primary objective is fitness, self defense, and to simply learn the craft.

★★★★★ — Whirl, Aug 2024

Amazing place and atmosphere to be in. Absolutely welcoming to everyone regardless of experience. Great place to train at with great people and amazing coaches. Coach Ian and Colton are both very intelligent and knowledgeable when it comes down to even the slightest details. Amazing to learn new things everyday.

New to kickboxing? Start at Top Level Academy

Top Level Academy 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 Top Level Academy

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.
