From the reviews
I’ve been training at International Fighting Club for a while now, and honestly this place exceeded all my expectations. Coach Salim is one of the most professional and attentive trainers I’ve ever worked with. He truly cares about every student, no matter if you’re a beginner or already experienced in MMA.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently completed one of our commercial plumbing projects for IFC – International Fight Club in Santa Clara. The project included building 2 shower rooms, toilets, and vanity sinks for the gym. We completed the entire plumbing project in just 3 weeks, and everything is working great.
I’ve had an amazing experience at International Fight Club. The atmosphere is motivating, professional, and feels like a real family. Huge respect to coach Salim Mukhidinov — an outstanding trainer who truly cares about every student.
One of the best coaches in the Bay Area. A real fighters’ gym with discipline, respect, and strong energy. Everything here is built with passion and love for the craft. A place where people become stronger both physically and mentally. 👊
New to muay thai? Start at IFC (International Fight Club)
IFC (International Fight Club) 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 IFC (International Fight Club)
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.
