★★★★★ — Leticia, Aug 2024

This is one of the best training facility/Combat gyms i’ve been to. I started off with just a membership for myself, but after I learned they have youth BJJ programs I started bringing my 4yr old son. Now I have him taking boxing instruction from Coach Dan. The environment at the gym is very welcoming.

★★★★★ — Marco, Jul 2025

Odyssey is an excellent place to train and learn the art of Jiu-Jitsu. The coaches are very knowledgeable and involved with a true desire to teach. This place is for all ages and levels. Whether you are looking for exercise or training for a competition, this place is the place to be.

New to muay thai? Start at Odyssey Training Center San Diego

Odyssey Training Center San Diego 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 Odyssey Training Center San Diego

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.
