From the reviews

Joining Lobos is the best thing I've done in LA. The coaches are knowledgeable and deeply committed to teaching proper technique (and martial arts philosophy), provide plenty of individual attention even in a group setting, create a fun and challenging environment, and foster a supportive community that makes people…

Lobos is THE boxing gym to go to in LA!! The coaches are amazing, they actually care about your progress, and EVERYONE at this gym is kind, helpful, and encouraging. I cannot recommend Lobos enough whether you are trying to improve fitness, learn some self defense or just looking for a good community here in LA.

★★★★★ — Tamar, Jan 2025

By far the best boxing gym I've been to in LA! You actually learn technique, discipline, consistency & commitment there. Eddie the owner is very involved and knows how to push and motivate his students. The community is unmatched and everyone encourages each other to be better. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — D, Sep 2023

If you’re tired of gyms where you just hit a bag, come check out Lobos Boxing Gym. Not only will you work the bag, but you’ll also engage in interactive drills, mitt work, and if you’re up for it and the coach thinks you’re ready, sparring.

New to muay thai? Start at Lobos Boxing Club

Lobos Boxing 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 Lobos Boxing 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
