From the reviews

I have been studying kali here for two and a half years and I only have positive things to say about Nomad Kali and Combat Fitness. Learning, growth, camaraderie, and respect are all pillars that this school is built on.

★★★★★ — Melanie, Apr 2021

This is a amazing school worth 10 stars. Sensei Frankie and Sensei Royce are amazing teachers. They work with kids as young as 5 years old all the way up to adults. Sensei Frankie is great with the kids, the kids love him and he has a natural positive aura that can fill the room.

★★★★★ — Jonathan, Aug 2021

Nomad Kali and Combat Fitness is one of the few schools in the area that offer Pekiti Tirsia Kali training. Guro Royce and Sensei Frankie are wonderful instructors who care about their students. The training atmosphere is one that emphasizes family, hard work, and discipline.

★★★★★ — Brian, Mar 2021

They treat each child in the class with individual attention and respect... which is not always easy to do in an hour...they know the kids, the families and it is a great place that I feel even a "shy"' child will feel comfortable...great atmosphere to learn in...

Your first muay thai class at Nomad Kali & 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.

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.
