From the reviews
I’ve tried a few Muay Thai and kickboxing gyms in the area, and this one is hands down the best. Coach Aalon is incredibly passionate about what he does, and it truly shows in every class.
Tribe has a special energy!! Training with Coach Aalon isn’t just about getting in shape — it’s about learning your body, building confidence, and growing alongside good people. The environment is focused but welcoming, the kind that makes you want to show up and get better. Aalon teaches with real intention.
Amazing gym, amazing coach, and amazing students! I've been training here since they opened and trained under Aalon for over 9 months and it's always been such an awesome experience.
Female friendly, newbie friendly, fun atmosphere with lots of focus on technique and real world situations. Coach Aalon takes an interest in improving all his students no matter the experience level. Classmates are down to earth and welcoming. The only place I want to be 🙌🙌🙌
New to kickboxing? Start at Tribe Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing
Tribe Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing 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 Tribe Jiu Jitsu and 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.
