From the reviews
If you want to learn how to fight and get in shape this is the place for you. This school is hardcore, there are beginners to pro-fighters at this place. And they are all here to help you learn the art of kickboxing. This is not "boxercise" or a boxing "club". You come here to learn, train and spar.
I took a free trial class when i first moved into the area and was originally overwhelmed by the amount of people. I didn’t end up becoming of a member of this gym until recently, and wish i signed up earlier!
One of the standout features of Kings Combat is the strong sense of community. Members support each other both inside and outside the gym, creating a positive and inclusive atmosphere. Beyond the physical aspects of Muay Thai, the gym recognizes the importance of mental and emotional well-being.
The question always pops up, how legit is this gym? When you come inside and look at the wall you think, oh that's nice the owner/trainers won some belts back in the day, but you'd be wrong. Those belts are from the STUDENTS, let that sink in.
New to muay thai? Start at Kings Combat Fitness
Kings Combat Fitness 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 Kings Combat Fitness
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.
