From the reviews
The BJJ coach Joe is a blackbelt and all around amazing person. He puts in time on and off the mats, welcomes new students. He gets to know everyone and you just get sense that he really cares. The quality of the Muay Thai instruction is high, focus is on techniques and combos. Good for either fitness or fight prep.
I've been going here for years and can say this is an amazing gym. The training is excellent (shoutout to Rob), you get a tough but captivating workout that engages your entire body, all while learning useful self defense and fighting techniques. The gym membership is also very fairly priced.
I went in today for some shin guards . I called in, and one of the coaches answered and informed that they carry fairtex guards and gloves down to the model type and price . Very good price and awesome service .
The BEST gym in the heart of Oakland! Really spacious and clean. Love it because it has boxing and muay thai. You get what you pay for and it's totally worth it. Parking can be a little hectic.. .overall great teachers and classes! you are locked in for the 6 or 12 months they offer you. or you can do month to month..
New to muay thai? Start at Pacific Ring Sports
Pacific Ring Sports 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 Pacific Ring Sports
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.
