From the reviews
My children started to take boxing classes at NFA back in 2016. It is a very complete boxing gym in every sense, not just the equipment, but also the experienced coaches are great. No matter your boxing level you as a PERSON (regardless of age, gender, nationality, etc.) will feel included and respected.
I've trained at various striking, grappling, and MMA gyms in the past and I can say with confidence that Northwest Fighting Academy stands out. I have taken both Boxing and Muay Thai classes and the instruction at this gym is top notch, friendly, and focused.
I came into this place a little bit skeptical and not sure what to expect. I know nothing about boxing but was looking for a good work out and I really found it. The trainers really take your entire body into consideration with each class and I was sore all over the next day.
I love NWFA. I am 14 years old and have had no previous experience with martial arts, and in about two and a half months, I can officially say, "I know how to fight." Everyone here is very friendly and very welcoming to beginners. Anyone who wants to sign their teenagers up I would say to go for it.
New to muay thai? Start at Northwest Fighting Academy. The Redmond Boxing Academy
Northwest Fighting Academy. The Redmond Boxing Academy 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 Northwest Fighting Academy. The Redmond Boxing Academy
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.
