From the reviews
“Great facility, solid classes, and a well-rounded schedule that offers lots of options during both days and evenings. The staff is friendly and helpful, the trainers are knowledgeable, experienced and full of great tips. The bag workouts in particular are fun, motivating, and will really work up a sweat.
Super friendly coaches, staff, and fellow students! Coach Eric is a personal favorite of many, including myself. Coming from a total beginner who’s been welcomed by everyone, this gym is a great one to start your martial arts journey.
Two days and already feel part of community, very welcoming place. Silas one of the coaches was the first one I started with and his been very patient and helpful in the couple days I’ve been here.

New to muay thai? Start at Carlsbad Kickboxing Club Boxing Martial Arts Academy
Carlsbad Kickboxing Club Boxing Martial Arts 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at Carlsbad Kickboxing Club Boxing Martial Arts Academy
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.
