From the reviews
I have been training with Matthew for almost 2 years, he has been helping me with self defense and mobility. I had found that his programs are effective and significantly beneficial to me. He points out my strengths and weaknesses and we train accordingly.
I was looking for a different exercise regimen to incorporate both cardio and muscle workout simultaneously. When I spoke with Coach Matthew for the first time he asked what my goals were and what I wanted to gain from boxing.
There’s a reason why this gym has many 5-star reviews and that reason is coach Matt McQueen. I was hoping this won’t be like other boxing gyms I’ve been to where it’s too easy, doesn’t teach practical skills, and you feel like you’re wasting time & money.
Don't let his young appearance fool you. Coach Matt is Very very knowledgeable and thorough. His teaching technique and precision to detail is if he was 20 years older. I Really appreciate the way he motivates to get me to dig deeper than I thought I could from myself.
New to kickboxing? Start at Untamed Striking and Performance
Untamed Striking and Performance 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 Untamed Striking and Performance
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.
