Kickboxing Competition Teams

A competition team is the ring side of a gym: a structured program for members who want to test themselves in amateur kickboxing, K-1 or muay thai, usually with extra sessions, sharper sparring, and a coach guiding each fighter's development and match schedule. Joining one is a real commitment and entirely optional — the large majority of kickboxing members never compete, and a competition team's existence is simply a sign of a gym with serious coaching and depth. It suits dedicated trainees drawn to competing and the discipline it demands. Expect higher intensity, expect an earned path onto the team, and — if fighting is a someday goal — expect to spend time in regular classes building your base first. The 2,293 gyms below offer a competition team — use the map to find the closest one, or browse by state.

Program labels come from each gym's own website and members' reviews; class schedules and formats change, so check the gym's timetable before you go.
