From the reviews
Really glad I joined this gym. It’s super clean and has a great atmosphere. I was a bit nervous since I’m new to jujitsu, but from day 1, the coaches have been very kind, welcoming, and make everything easy to follow. They’re also super responsive if you have questions.
Kings Combat Elmhurst is something special-an amazing jiu-jitsu school with even better people. The atmosphere is welcoming, focused, and full of good energy. From the first class, you can tell this is a place built on respect, hard work, and genuine community. Antonio is an outstanding teacher.
It’s been so so great having Kings in the neighborhood! I become interested in starting muay thai since my sister recommended it and am loving having this place so close by.
5 stars!! I’ve been training here for 6 months and absolutely love it! I’ve tried all the classes from Muay Thai to Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling and the coaches are amazing. They’re friendly, patient, and take the time to break down every technique.
New to muay thai? Start at Kings Combat Elmhurst
Kings Combat Elmhurst comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Kings Combat Elmhurst
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.
